Ferry sidelined due to propulsion trouble
The "Elwha" was taken out of service on July 11, 2015, for approximately four months due to a complicated electrical issue with the drive motor. Replacement parts were on hand and repairs are being made as quickly as possible in Eagle Harbor. Until further notice, the "Kitsap" continued to serve the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route through the end of the summer sailing season.
Ferry broke down in San Juans
Passengers on the "Elwha" were asked to put on life vests in the evening of Aug 17, 2014, after the vessel lost power in the San Juans due to a problem with the drive motor in the engine room. The Coast Guard escorted the ferry back to Anacortes. The staff kept anxiety levels down. The ferry "Kaleetan" temporarily replaced the "Elwha".
