166/365....Foot Ferry

All Aboard!!

This is one of the foot ferries that run between Port Orchard and Bremerton.
This is, as you can see by the name, the Carlisle II. It's the one that handles the larger commutes in the morning and evening for the shipyard workers. It's also available for private parties.
Used to be you could park your car on the Port Orchard side catch the foot ferry then the big Seattle ferry watch a ball game then come home and the foot ferry would still be running.
But the economy and fuel prices have curtailed that. Still, if you need to run to Bremerton every day, it's a lot easier and cheaper than driving around and facing all the traffic. Just ask my husband, he'll tell ya.
