I've taken rare--infrequent---ferry rides, to Long Island's Shelter Island, from Seattle to Bainbridge, and the best, on the Blue and Gold fleet from S.F. to Tiburon. Something wonderful and freeing about being transported this way.
This was an SF to Sausalito ferry. It is a favorite, especially the early morning ride. The Seattle to Bainbridge is a nice ride too, a MUCH larger ferry. And then there are the short and beautiful rides between the Aeolian Islands... So many good ferry rides.
Observer. Also, author of the novel “After the Sour Lemon Moon.” I recorded a free audio version at the beginning of the pandemic. You can find it in my Instagram bio, in highlights.
soak it all in... breathe, absorb, reminisce
ReplyDeleteI love ferry rides. My mother used to live on an island that was and hour and a half ferry ride--it was a vacation in itself.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Perhaps eve better than train rides. Traveling to visit your mother must have been a treat. Living on an island has always appealed to me.
DeleteLove that fresh crispy air and sensation of freedom that being on the sea gives. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of your posts x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kylie.
DeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI grew up riding ferries between the US and Canada. I've continued the tradition taking ferries from Long Island to Fire Island in the summer.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite ferry ride was to Capri, well of course it was.
Nice memories,

Ah, Capri. I'd like to ride one of those ferries...
DeleteThere's just something about water.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more.
