Washington Ferry

lc2991


Waiting for the ferry.

The only way to get to, and from, Washington Island is via ferry. You know how Wisconsin has that little pointy jutting out part? The island is off that point. And from Washington Island you can take another ferry to Rock Island - but the only way to get to Rock Island is to first take the ferry to Washington Island. All clear? lol

Passing a ferry coming in as we are going out. We were leaving Washington Island, and I'm feeling a little loquacious today, can you tell? I got great news yesterday! I'm still in remission! Yay!

As we passed this island, I thought it looked pretty cool floating above the water.  Mystical and mythical, just an illusion.

I couldn't tell if this place is occupied or not, but it looks nice, just a little run down. I'd live there. . .but I'm not sure how you get to that island.

A lovely lighthouse! This one is owned by the National Guard. Not sure how you get to that island either.

And passing one last ferry before we dock. Yeah, there's not much out there in Death's Door.

And the seagulls and cormorants were waiting for us.  What a great trip!

Wisconsin Skies

This is my first time participating in Skywatch Friday.  I had opportunity to enjoy the sunset on Washington Island recently.  I hope you enjoy it too. :)
