The little ferry that could is filling in while the Elwha is repaired. In yesterday’s sunny harbor, the Hiyu took over the interisland route as the spring schedule went into effect.

Quick notes: The FHHS soccer team lost 10-0 Saturday to a strong 2A squad at South Whidbey….they hit the road for Cascade Christian on Wednesday.
