Dry dock dates finally announced

Gary Poole, new Senior Master of the Whatcom Chief

After a series of delays and reschedulings, Whatcom County has finally published the dates for drydock. And it’s a tough one: the normal vehicle ferry will be out for almost four weeks with the Memorial day right in the middle.

Pedestrian only ferry
Saturday, May 18 - Saturday, June 15

Originally scheduled for April 18 through May 17, the Ferry Division shifted dry dock at the last minute due to “availability of local, qualified shipyards”. The normally chill vibe of the island, scheduled surgeries, and the Memorial Day Studio Tour are all out of sorts at the moment.

Preliminary dry dock details are here, no guarantees!
