SEEN OFF WEST SEATTLE: Ferry Cathlamet in transit, and the return of Silver Muse

Thanks to Tom Stoner for the photo. In the foreground, escorted by a tug, is Washington State FerriesM/V Cathlamet, the ferry that had a scare Saturday afternoon (WSB coverage here) when a smoky mechanical problem hit while it was between Vashon and Fauntleroy. It’s now at WSF’s Bainbridge Island maintenance site, Eagle Harbor. WSF hasn’t yet announced how long it’ll be out of service; two boats are on the Triangle Route today as has been standard lately, but a third boat – M/V Issaquah – is now tied up at Vashon. In the background of the photo is Silversea Cruises’ Silver Muse, which spent a while anchored off Manchester recently, then took off and sailed up Puget Sound, into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and off the Washington coast for a while before returning. Its first official cruise is scheduled to leave Seattle this Thursday (July 29th) for a 10-day Alaska cruise.

    This was taken around 12:15pm today up from Lowman. I’m not sure if it is the same vessel but from where I was watching, it looked like it went down Colvos Passage, it was headed that direction. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
