I know many newspapers are reporting conflicting information about the ferry schedule, airboat schedule etc.
But....they are not here on the Island and are not talking to the persons who make these decisions....we are!
David WAS told by the Coast Guard that they would not be by the ferry until 9pm or so tonight HOWEVER things changed during the night...ice moved creating an ice dam that the Coast Guard decided they had to break this morning...it was out of the control of the ferry owner, David Bryson. The Coast Guard made that decision to change the time back to 10am at the last minute.
Per David Bryson the ferry will not run again today, they made a trip to get the school children back to the island, and the bus is now waiting at the ferry to get back across. As soon as there is a opening, that will occur.
There will be NO ferry service tonight and PROBABLY NOT tomorrow morning, but they (at the ferry) will have to re-check that when they see the ice conditions in the morning. NOTHING IS SET IN STONE RIGHT NOW.
BOB WILL RUN THE AIRBOAT UNTIL 6PM TONIGHT ONLY....THE ICE IS TOO THICK TO NAVIGATE AT NIGHT...per Daryl Dupage.
The Harsen's Island/Clay township airboat is available for emergency transportation by calling either 911 for major emergency or calling the Clay Township Police at 810-794-9381 for minor emergencies.

YEA.....WHAT SHE SAID!!! lol
just so everyone knows, there is no ice coming down in Marine City.
Hope that helps for Tuesday.
Just called the ferry. Latest message posted this afternoon says they hope to be running tomorrow morning sometime after 7AM call for yourself 810-748-3757
This is ridiculous. No one is threatening anyone here except their feelings. Ive been on the ferry many times, and theyve informed me that they would be shutting down. So I either back off the boat, or take my chances and go across. As for today, we knew it would close sometime. And the weather, one more day off work, or school certainly wouldnt hurt anybody, better to be SAFE dont you thin?. All Im saying is if you were worried about your kids being stranded, knowing it might happen, stay home and keep the kids home too. That way, no worries. Instead of blaming everyone. Typical island crap. Blah,blah, blah.
OH SHUT UP...if you are complaining of "TYPICAL ISLAND CRAP"....Get lost you idiot!...People can vent if they want to...Go away if you don't like it..no one is asking you to be here!
