shows we’re maintaining service reliability of 95% or more on our three restored routes, despite COVID-19 cases among our crews remaining elevated. We’re making every effort to add
a second vessel on our Edmonds/Kingston run daily as crewing allows. However, as I’ve mentioned previously, we are unlikely to start trialing full service on that route until late this
year.

While it remains important to continue hiring new crewmembers as we look to the future, our biggest short-term constraint is a lack of licensed deck officers (captains and mates), who
require significant training time. We have a new program to encourage our current employees to take the necessary courses and exams to obtain a mates’ credential. More than 60 of our
able-bodied sailors have shown interest in attending the local Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6I

“[…] My wife had spinal fusion surgery at Virginia Mason Seattle. […] We left the hospital in plenty of time to catch the 1745 ferry, but when we got to the terminal we saw the holding
lot was already completely full. I explained the situation to the WSF worker, who asked if we had a “medical priority boarding certificate.” We had my wife's hospital discharge papers,
but since we had never been in this situation before we didn’t know the hospital needs to provide that special certificate[.]
“[…] We got to the [tollbooth] and again explained our situation. The young man again asked if we had the medical certificate. I said ‘No, but is there [any way] you can help us? Look
at my wife’s wristbands.” […] Without hesitation he then got on the walkie-talkie radio and directed us to the line of cars that were now loading the ferry. I wish I had got his name
so I could write a letter of thanks to WSDOT.”

“[…] My wife had spinal fusion surgery at Virginia Mason Seattle. […] We left the hospital in plenty of time to catch the 1745 ferry, but when we got to the terminal we saw the holding
lot was already completely full. I explained the situation to the WSF worker, who asked if we had a “medical priority boarding certificate.” We had my wife's hospital discharge papers,
but since we had never been in this situation before we didn’t know the hospital needs to provide that special certificate[.]
“[…] We got to the [tollbooth] and again explained our situation. The young man again asked if we had the medical certificate. I said ‘No, but is there [any way] you can help us? Look
at my wife’s wristbands.” […] Without hesitation he then got on the walkie-talkie radio and directed us to the line of cars that were now loading the ferry. I wish I had got his name
so I could write a letter of thanks to WSDOT.”
