"Ferry's in"

A large part of my attraction to Marysville is the island experience. The ferry trip back and forth,  despite the constrained views from the car, is a connection to the sea state on the crossing and the duration provides a sort of mental separation from the City.  Even staying in the car, it satisfies my  love of just being on the water.

In the village, there are views from Main Street out to Barrett's Bay, but more than that, there is a rhythm of activity tied to the hourly ferry schedule.  Cars queue up along Main Street to ensure a place on the next boat and when it arrives theres a sort of tidal flow of 50 or so vehicles disembarking.  Ten minutes before arrival of the ferry there is a rush to pay up and turnover of tables at the local restaurants and over and lots of waving and salutations as people acknowledge friends along the street and at the terminal as the ferry unloads and takes on a new load.
