Colman Dock to Eagle Harbor
Take the wheel.
Steer a heavy ferry from downtown Seattle to Bainbridge Island, the real route squeezed into about two minutes.
How to steer
- Throttle: up and down keys, or the lever. The engines take seconds to bite.
- Rudder: left and right keys, or turn the wheel. She turns slowly, and better with speed.
- Sailboats are racing and have right of way: steer round them. If orcas surface, slow down and keep well clear.
- Stopping takes a long way. Ease into the slip at Eagle Harbor under 3 knots, lined up.
Pick the weather above, then:
