End Of The Season Is Nigh
Via SooToday: U.S. Coast Guard to open West Neebish Channel in its entirety
Vessel Traffic Service St. Marys River will open the waters between Nine Mile Point and Moon Island, effective 0800 EST March 12, 2010.
These preparations are being conducted in support of the March 21 opening of the Sault Locks and the start of the 2010 commercial navigation season.
The Coast Guard will make every effort to minimize the impact to Neebish Island ferry operations.
However, Neebish Island residents should prepare for minor service interruptions as the ice descending into the Rock Cut will most certainly prevent the ferry from operating normally.
