Saw the boat, ordered the Overload, had it in my hands before the ramp dropped. Walt timed it on a stopwatch. I think he is a wizard.

We missed the ferry. The fries were free. We have now missed the ferry four times.

Best burger on either side of Swartz Bay, and I've eaten in the ferry cafeteria since 1994. Don't tell the cafeteria.
