Ferry to Lopez Island Collides with Sailboat

When first hearing of the story, it was tempting to blame it on the likelyhood of truth in one of the sayings of the islands: "It's a drinking island with a ferry problem." Who's to say exactly why the 60-something man was boating in the shipping lane, but that was definitely the reason his boat, the Hyak, was struck by the ferry on Friday the 13th, September 2013.

The Islands' Sounder reports on the story in more detail, here.
