passing ferries

Given I do not own a sailboat (see yesterday’s post for my dreams of owning a sailboat) we naturally used a Washington State Ferry to make the crossing to Friday Harbor. Interesting I have a lot to learn; for instance the San Juan islands sit in the Puget Sound however the water between the islands is referred to as the San Juan Channel. While the water on the eastern side of the the islands is called the Rosario Strait. It turns out that there are several small passages (examples include: Haro Strait, Boundary Pass, Spieden Channel) between the islands.
