Here was a brief, great letter to the editor of the Maui News today, 2/15/08:
"Washington’s fleet of ferries could use Hawaii’s ship"
POSTED: February 15, 2008

What an excellent opportunity for solving your Superferry “problem” — sell it to Washington State. And, we promise not to injure any whales.

Also, Joan Conrow pointed out the related very interesting article:
