We bought a used Volvo XC a few years ago. It originated as a lease  
vehicle, driven in Seattle for two years.
When we bought it in Iowa, we noted that it's alarm set up had a  
disarm mode for the motion sensors...and were
told this was common for cars sold in areas where they might be taken  
onto ferries.

Of course, now I know why our Volvo also came with sponsons.  The XC  
is great in following seas, but
not the best for lay-back rolls....

On a ferry (we were simply on-foot passengers) this summer out to  
Martha's Vineyard, it was a fairly rough, "barf barge"
passage.  The car deck sounded like a Vegas slot room on full tilt pay  
out....every locked car with engaged alarm system
was hitting the jackpot.

Great photos.  You could use them as examples of a 'typical morning  
commute'.
It might cut down on some of Seattle's growing problem with sprawl.

And many passengers were kneeling before the porcelain god "ralph!"

I always think of it as "talking to Ralph on the great white telephone"
or just "talking on the great white telephone" 8-)

counting Buicks....

porcelain'..

Congratulations on the soon-to-arrive seal puppy. You have a wonderful
adventure ahead of you. :)   Nice blog, by the way.

Well...

the seal puppy project is really an adventure! BTW: it also occurred  
to me that for the next few years I will not be able to escape to  
seas for 3-week-700-kilometer expeditions!

Luckily, our 'porcelain equipment' is not in heavy use.

I concur with Craig: amazing pictures!

PS Happened to cross on the very same ferry (or its sister) not that long 
ago - dead calm crossing that was!
