Ferries to stop tomorrow at noon

[Pia]

For planning purposes...........as of today, they are planning on stopping ferry services tomorrow (Thurs) at noon due to Erika, but as we all know this can change and all will be "normal" (well as "normal" as things ever are here )

We are going to play it by ear. We are supposed to fly into STT on Friday afternoon, but we may have to spend the night in Charlotte (NC) and fly in on Saturday.

Going to go check out the weather channel, but all of you please be safe until this storm passes...

[Eric on St John]

The ferries will keep running:

To all,

Please be advised that the Ports of St. Thomas and St. John will remain open. The ports of St. Thomas and St. John should fall back to port condition X-RAY.

Port condition X-ray means:

The port is open to inbound and outbound vessels. Facilities can continue cargo operations. All vessels over 200GT shall remain vigilant and be prepared to get underway in case the storm track shifts and/or intensifies. If vessels over 200 GT wish to remain in port they must be prepared to submit a Safe Mooring Plan to USCG St. Thomas for further vetting and approval by USCG in Puerto Rico.

Ferry Services between St. John/St. Thomas and St. Thomas and the BVI can operate as scheduled.

Ferry Boat operators are advised to continue to use good marine practices when determining sea state as it relates to passenger and vessel safety.

The Port of St. Croix remains in Port Condition Yankee.

Very Respectfully,
