First ferry crossing of 2014 may be April 29
http://www.bibco.com/boat-delay--cancellations-18/Beaver Island Boat Company wrote:Important news: Ice conditions have improved. If ice and weather conditions continue to be favorable we will be making our first run of the 2014 season tomorrow, April 29. Departure times are tentatively 9AM from Beaver Island and 12:30PM from Charlevoix. Due to the uncertainty of the ice condition in Lake Michigan, travel times may be longer than 2 hours. We will be contacting customers with outstanding vehicle reservations to reschedule them as soon as we are sure ice conditions are favorable and that we believe weather and ice conditions will allow us to travel for future dates.
If you have freight to drop off at the dock locations, it must be wrapped to withstand being left outdoors (rain, wind, snow, etc) since we have very limited covered space.
