Superferry halted for now


I have been following the Superfully stuff closely, pretty amazing story, but I haven't had time to post about it. Court action stopped it on Maui, hearing tomorrow for injunction whether or not it has to wait until EA complete to start operation. Meanwhile, protesters on land and in water stopped it on Kaua'i, it was unable to dock Monday, and Tuesday Lingle requested they not run. So it is stopped for the moment.

Juan Wilson has been photo blogging on the protests on Kaua'i. Lance Foster has some thoughts and context of the military/political history of Kaua'i, the unconquered island. And Ian Lind chimes in and provides some good links.

When I first saw this photo in the S-B, I had the same association, and then received it with versions of the second photo below from two separate people. Not the same, but an interesting analogy... Remember, one of the reasons for the Superferry is to move Stryker vehicles between islands.
