Gotta Take a Ferry
I just found out a site listing for my Saturday games was erroneous. 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? |

Here in Southeast Alaska its one of our main modes of transportation. The teams are transported by ferry or jet or jet boat or small plane in some cases! Some officials travel right with the teams, makes it real cozy for some of the "unstable" coaches. |
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip That started from this tropic port Aboard this tiny ship. The Referee was a mighty vet-ter-an, The Umpire brave and sure. Four passengers set sail that day For a three mile tour, a three mile tour. The weather started getting rough, The tiny ferry tossed, If not for the courage of the fearless crew The refs would be lost, the refs would be lost. The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle With bainsey His Umpire too, Their Fox 40s and their stripes, The table crew, CHSeagle and his Missus, Here on bainsey's Isle. |

Those are long days....and if you miss the last boat back, you are stuck on the island overnight (although I hear they have been known to hold the ferry if the game goes into overtime.) |
Bravo, Juggling!
