Yesterday, we heard five short blasts and hustled to our window overlooking Elliott Bay to see what was going on. The answer was readily apparent. A smallish motor vessel on its way into Bell Harbor Marina had decided, for some inexplicable reason, to cross in front of an incoming Washington State Ferry from Bainbridge Island. One wonders what the person at the helm of the smaller vessel was thinking . . . if he or she was thinking at all. We estimate that the smaller vessel passed no more than 100 yards in front of the ferry. Not nearly enough clearance by our standards. Apparently, the ferry captain agreed.
