As we posted yesterday, the ferry is closed today.
The USCG Cutter went down the North Channel this morning.
Champions Auto Ferry is now socked in with ice. The water levels at the ferry are still low....doesn't appear the USCG did anything to alleviate the water level problems, but now the ferry can't run.
Bob Bryson will be running his airboat today starting at 4pm.
I'm told by a Champion's employee that the ice around the ferry area is extremely thick.
We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Has anyone heard of when the ferry will open back up...i heard 6am Thur morning,(tomorrow)
any updates yet?
Just spoke with Coast Guard (Group Detroit) as of 10 am they will stop efforts temporarily in N. Channel. The canadians are doing a fly over to check out the situation. They say there was some improvement after their efforts. Group Detroit's phone number is: 313-568-9523. The commander's name is Joe Snowden. Feel free to call them and let them know how you feel about their efforts.
Thanks to Mr. DeBoyer for sending that email. I also sent an email to Candice Miller and encourage others to do so.
Nice letter! It's nice to see that. I'll have you know, when the Bristol Bay went by this morning, we called out to them and then turned and gave 'em the moon. I encourage everyone to moon them when they go by to show our extreme displeasure and to show 'em where they can put their cutter (on the moon)
Is anonymous one person or all different people?
Why is the ferry stopping at 9pm? Is it because that's when the ice monsters come out? Some of us don't have 9-5 jobs. Some of us have to be to work before 7am. It's funny that the afternoon shift of the ferry ends at 9:40pm.
Anonymously anonymous
Instead of using this forum for venting frustration on the current ice situation, lets keep it informative and helpful. Some of us have elderly parents who may need assistance and being informed on the current status to get over to the island is helpful.
Yes, I agree it is good to have a forum for current news, however, there isn't a good way for us to have some of our frustrations heard. When you call the ferry you don't get to talk to a person, you hear a message that is sometimes days old. I apologize if I have offended anyone.
i would suggest to mr anomous that he find a nice place on the mainland to live.you clearly are wraped a little to tight
I don't understand Dave C.'s comment- none of the anon's seemed uptight to me, just Mike D. seemed a bit tight.
Does everyone understand anonymous is a posting option when you leave one of these comments? That means each "anonymous" can and likely is a seperate person.
dooh...sorry, I see the uptight anon whining about the 9 pm shutdown...my bad.
I agree....everyone should at least use a user name
How about sending some letters collectively to the news papers? Just an idea.
