That would be C. Bonus point if you can name the town in which I catch the ferry. (No Googling.)

Is it near the mouth of the river where they were hiding the submarine in the ending scene of the movie "Hunt for Red October"?

Such a great film.

I am of no use to you, Freddy. I still haven't seen that film. (Ducking from the incoming disbelief.)

I aimed the bonus question at Gap, who is from these parts. I want to see if he remembered (or even knew in the first place).

I know there is a ferry out of Rockland, but not sure if it goes to Islesboro or not. There may be one that goes to Vinalhaven and one to Islesboro out of Rockland.

Vinalhaven and North Haven are served by Rockland; Islesboro is served by Lincolnville. (I had to look it up myself to be sure.)

Had the games today, back on the mainland safely. No Gilligan moments to speak of.

The school pays for our ferry rides, which we take with the visiting teams and their contingents. At the island's terminal, awaits a school bus for us all, with the front seats reserved for the officials. (Funny, when I was a kid, those seats were reserved for the troublemakers.) It was a four-mile trek to the school.

We had snow flurries and a pretty gray day. The little island school serves 92 students -- that's K-12 -- so there are varsity and middle school teams, no JV. Eighth graders can play on varsity. The new gym is only two years old, with five-deep bleachers on one side, and some more seats on a low stage behind the end line. The school itself is impressive, to say the least. It's a renovated 25-room stone "cottage" (here's a picture), which has four buses.

Sounds like quite the experience. Thanks for sharing.

As it turns out, to get where we're going, my partner and I have an hour drive, plus a 20-minute (three mile) ferry ride to the island school. (There are three island high schools in Maine.) The school has my tickets waiting on the mainland.

This is a first for me, and I grew up in a little fishing village not far from these islands. Anyone else of shoreline locales get to do this?
Our association covers the San Juan Islands. Ferry to all of them

After making some tough calls against the visitors, you had better wear a life jacket on the trip back to the mainland.

Yet you didn't want ME to google it?

That's very cool. Not too many ferrys (boats, that is :) ) in the Atlanta area.
