Description
This ferry, about to dock at Vaiare, Moorea, is one of the older types. It takes this type of ferry one hour to make the crossing to Tahiti. All ferries have the capability to transport automobiles. Most passengers are commuters that live on either island and work on the other.

Your captures are always interesting Sig! Thanks for the info and photo :)
interesting
A note about the locals: I did not see anyone get impatient, nervous, aggrevated or otherwise emotional during this and my previous visit. It didn't matter whether they were shopping, driving, waiting for 'Le Car' (the local equivalent of a cheap bus), waiting for the ferry, at the airport or waiting at the ATM. I did not see anyone get loud or boisterous, no loud conversations etc. It was one of the things I really liked. Apparently it saying 'time is money' is not known around here.
A note about riding ferries: I love it. Coming from the desert I take every opportunity to use ferries wherever I can. It doesn't matter if it is between Folkestone and Calais, Fishguard and Rosslaire, Rosslaire and Cherbourgh, Gibraltar and Tangier, Port Angeles and Victoria or Nanaimo and Horseshoe Bay, San Pedro to Avalon, Singapore and the nearest islands of Indonesia, Hongkong and Macao, Newcastle and Stavanger or Ullapool and Stornoway, Pisa and Bastia, or using the ferries between the Canadian Maritime Islands. To me it is always a thrill. Water, waves, wind, people. For years, when I went to Germany it was always aircraft to London, train to Harwich, and then the ferry to Hoek van Holland. These ferry rides provide for me what cruise lines offer, but at a much lower rate, Sig..
Cool shot!!

Outstanding work!
Excellent capture!!!
If I had to do an hour commute, this would certainly be the way to go! Such a peaceful, stress-free trip. I'm with you ... a ferry trip is always nice. Even living in a place where they're part of the regular transportation system, I still enjoy the trip.
A very peaceful and beautiful people by all accounts, I gather... I used to ride the Dover - Calais Ferry alot.. Always to this day, regretted not having taken the hovercraft while it was running... A sight to behold and a beautiful thing indeed! thanks again... Rob
Economics are very interesting which your shot of the Ferry and the cost of moving people everyday makes me think about. Enjoyed the capture.
