We're really getting close now - just 5 more days!!! I have noticed on the forum that there have been some ferry/barge issues. Can anyone tell me what's happening with the car barge(s) this week? We are renting on STT and using the barge to STJ. Also any "helpful car barge hints" would be most appreciated for us "newbies". THANKS!

I "think" we are still at one company - leaving on the 1/2 hour both sides. Just remember to back onto the ferry so line up at the dock in reverse :)

Wow vav, that was a long wait! Thanks for the heads up. We'll be going over on a Monday afternoon (though might hit some comuter traffic) and back on a Friday late morning...hopefully the waits won't be as bad as on a Saturday. We'll certainly plan ahead!

Thanks for the "backin in" tip Pia!
