I posted the first ferry evening ride a couple days ago. On that ride, I was driving back from Sandy’s house. This time John and I rode the ferry, in the early morning, to see the two campgrounds, go to Fort Monroe, and see Edith’s. We started the day at 9 am which is early for us, but that is late for most of the folks still working.

This ferry was not held up by a broken down car, this time, and we arrived 2 minutes before boarding. As a result, we did not have to wait to board and leave. It also helped that two ferry’s were running vs. one on the evening ride.

On my first trip, I was wondering if the cars should be turned off. I finally saw a sign indicating motors should be turned off. There are two signs on the boat, and you have to look for them. Luckily, I did turn the motor off for the 1st ride.

The following pictures were taken as the boat started leaving the pier.

Pictures from around the boat.
