This so-called schedule will guarantee late boats (okay, so what else is new?).

Example:  The 4:10 p.m. Tillikum from Anacortes to Friday Harbor will arrive at least 20 minutes late (it can't do the trip as fast as other boats), thus guaranteeing that the late afternoon inter-island trip getting folks back home from Friday Harbor will always run late.

It's not rocket science writing schedules--if WSF staff know what they're doing!
