I created this video with the TH-cam Slideshow Creator (th-cam.com/users/upload)
Why is the ferry boat being tipped over
This is the video I show people when they complain the PT route is down for mild winds or low tides
Grew up on Whidbey Island not far from this ferry dock. Rode this route many times in far worse weather years ago on smaller and older ferryboats. Taking water over the bow that would then run to the stern and drain off the boat was common in winter.
Rough out a ways and then it smooths out.
Storm by no means. The ship has a shallow to non-existent keel and in relation to its high sides it rocks like a walnut shell.
It is quite obvious that you are not familiar with this area and this ship.
It’s not Coupeville, it’s Keystone. Coupeville is on the other side of the island. Yes, I know the city annexed the area solely so they could attach their name to the ferry run, but Coupeville is on the other side of the island. The ferry dock is at Keystone. 😾
Skip earned his money there.
From a naval architects point of verw a badly designed ship for the praviling conditions
How deep is the channel where the ship moored. I know ferries have shallower draughts, but I don’t know why ?
Such beautiful day for a storm
I fucked your mom during this windstorm
Как пот капирку одно итоже
Wow! The captain drove that Ferry, like a pro!
I live in Coupeville and take.this ferry often. it's most frequently cancelled and have had a few pretty rough sailing myself.
I wonder how many people threw up during that roll, because i see nobody on the upper deck, if anyones was up there they are super brave in those conditions
Flat sides and shallow draft make these vessels very susceptible to wind and waves. Nice seamanship.
God bless the Boss Man/Woman at the wheel! I’ll be taking this ferry in a couple of weeks and I truly hope I have a smoother ride! 😬
1:47 That ship needs to go into dry dock because the front and back walls are missing. 🤭
Making the wind work for the Capt. crew & passengers. Well done.
How about handing the camera to someone who doesn't have Parkinson's next time
The weather conditions did not look that bad but the ferry was going up Down pitching like a CORK from a bottle plus water getting unto car deck not sure I would.like 2 b on board from Belfast northern ireland
She isn't build for much weather :)
good memories of childhood on ferries getting tossed in the winter storms. always my favorite ferry rides.

Why was there no storm warning?
We sailed on the Kennewick from Coupeville to Port Townsend yesterday. Hole Lee shit!! Mukilteo from now on!!!
That's a Pro captain doing a great job under challenging conditions!
For those not from the area, there are also wicked tidal currents to deal with. I think this is often the hardest landing in all of Washingtons Ferry system.
We took the Kennewick from Coupeville to Pt. Townsend yesterday afternoon and my god that was stressful as hell! Ferry was all over the place and slamming down. Cars were hopping and rocking. 10' swells easy. I had to focus out the back at Whidbey for something to concentrate on. I have never taken a ferry in rough weather like that before. Makes it a completely different experience.
@@THX-ov8rv Pretty wild ride. I remember commuting on the old foot ferries on the Bremerton-Seattle run. 1990/1991. If you sat down in the bottom of the boat, you could FEEL the waves and the logs hammer the hull you had your back against, for the entire ride on a stormy day. Not the most comforting feeling and why I used to refer to those particular boats as "The Tin Cans".
I work for WSF and can confirm this is the hardest route in the fleet and often if it's a new captian to the route they send a 2nd captian for the first few crossings on rough days to make sure all goes well.
If that is a storm then obviously you have not experienced one. Its only because this ferry is too shallow and rocks with the mimimum wind.
I’d have shit a brick if I were on that boat
This is three years ago wow
Nice landing despite the weather. I'd be nice to have a wingwall on the port side on the approach as an insurance marker.
been taking the fauntleroy ferry for 16 years
good cpt. Well done!
last time i was on that ferry it was pretty calm and it was still a pretty rocky ride.
Sometimes, they have to cancel the runs due to LUNAR Low Tides, so they don't get grounded, in the shallow water, at the Coupeville side.
Janet i kinda missed Port Townsend. Do you have any more vedio.
Шторм Я так и не увидел!
stupid music is not needed
We lived in Yakima and been to Seattle numerous times to visit,stay,n play... caught a lot of ferries over the waters, but this one you definitely got your money's worth on a ride.. those ships are so cool to ride on.. definitely Pacific northwest!
Looks like that thing would roll in the dry dock.
To me it looks like incorrect ballast
HAHA AFTER THAT, I WOULD HAVE SEEN A LOT OF I-5 DRIVING BACK HOME LOL
We took this ferry yesterday precisely because I didn't want to take I-5!! WRONG decision! We were rocking and rolling extreme!!
Been on that ferry many times but never that rough. The captain earned his pay that day. I will wager everyone was happy to get off in Coopeville.
That route’s got a history of occasionally being an interesting ride, even cancelled on rare instances!
Living on Whidbey, if only cancellation s were rare occasions! I've been stranded a couple times by the Port Townsend route. Granted given that they're the smallest ships over the roughest route and trickiest docks, it's not surprising. Keystone is a hard landing.
Cancellations are more often due to tides than weather; but weather _can_ be an issue from Fall to Spring. Keystone-Pt Townsend crosses over open water to the Pacific so that route's more susceptible to rough seas and high winds. But more often I've gotten to Pt Townsend only to find out the sailing was cancelled on account of low tides.
The vesel is just like a toy being rocked by the wild sea.
One more thing, during the Summer Tourist Season I figured out that it is much better to be the last car out on a busy get than to be the first off. Those of you from WA, Seattle area, will fully understand this. Others, well, think it through... It'll make sense when you figure it out.
That gray painted ship in the background belong to my former employer. The Military Sealift Command.
It’s one of my favorite ferry runs that WSF does. But I’ve seen far worse footage. Theirs one where the WSF is getting pounded by waves/wind in a winter storm. Water nearly eclipsing the bow of the ferry,
My sister and I were on the Bainbridge Ferry in November storm in the 80’s and it was so violent the vending machines fell over. Now they just cancel runs.
@@liesbethrobison Oh god! For such a nanny state they don't seem to really give a shit about the ferry system!
Got Sea Sick just viewing this thing, ha ha.
