Best-Laid Plans

For our final episode of Ferry Talk, we get a behind-the-scenes tour WSF HQ with WSDOT Deputy Secretary Steve Nevey, head of Washington State Ferries, and Assistant Secretary John Vezina.

Toby composes a tune for the Tillikum and we commentate on some recent stories in the news, including ferry fare hikes, honorary sailings, watery rescues, and burials at sea!

We took two ferries to get to Port Townsend. Will we make it home?

They say a sequel is never as good as the original, but dare we say this one breaks the trend? Listen to the end for some peak Ferry Talk content!

What do mountain goats, astrologers, and extension cords have to do with each other? They're all in this episode! Join us for a conversation with Kevin Bartoy, whose job at WSDOT is too crazy to explain in this preview.

Do you think of the ferry line as a boring, stressful, limbo land? This episode might blow your mind.

We talk schedule strats with WSDOT Planning Manager Jason Rogers (a.k.a. The Guy Who Makes the Ferry Schedule).

We're back with more ferry-obsessed banter and adventure on the high seas! In this season's opening, we take two ferries and cross one island in search of the elusive Ghost Boat (and our friend Quinn).

The head of WSF, Steve Nevey, joins us for a sail on our season finale. Plus: we meet the "dock mother" of the Anacortes terminal and take a trip to the pilot room of the Yakima. A big day was had by all! Huge thanks to TPL's John Hargis for the audio assist.

Tune in for a news flash about cutting in line and a debate about the most scenic ferry systems in the world. Plus, our friend Penelope shares the funny-not-funny story of a very late night; and Mike Rosekrans, Youth Conservation Corps Program Coordinator for the San Juan Islands Conservation District, relates his very first and most memorable ferry rides.
