"Normal. Normal. I'm on here five days a week and it was normal," said Novato resident Roy Steele.



Normal is a welcome change after a frightening incident on Friday afternoon. The Golden Gate Ferry's "M-S San Francisco" from Larkspur slammed into the dock near The Slanted Door restaurant. There were 53 passengers were on board. Two sustained minor injuries.



The damaged Ferry is being evaluated for repairs and officials hope to know more in the coming days.
