I was scheduled for a water taxi all day... moving the athletes for big event that is happening this weekend on Lopez Island. Just a bit more chaotic than herding cats. The guy coordinating events for today changed times on us repeatedly... doesn't matter to me, but the clock is running. Unfortunately, he didn't tell the other participants who were using our water taxi when he delayed departure times; some people waiting, most were just late. FUBAR. I just smiled and welcomed them aboard as they showed up.
We were full to our maximum capacity, plus a bunch of gear (BMX bikes, skateboards, a para-glider, and other stuff). An 8 hour day for me, about 2 1/2 hours of boat time, the rest was waiting. Tick, tick, tick.
One of the folks who was on the boat yesterday took this photo of the Orcas in the fog...
More of the same tomorrow, but we are supposed to be running constantly, shuttling people. Two boats. Starting at 7:00 in the morning. I wonder if anyone besides the boat crew will be up that early?? ;-)
