Great job to all involved. It's nice to see how well people come together and help eachother on the Island when needed to get things done.
Good Afternoon,
I just received word from Margo Marks, BIBCO President, that the Emerald Isle has been cleared by the Coast Guard to run. She will be departing Charlevoix in the morning at the normal 8.30 departure. This is great news. The men and women of the Beaver Island Boat Company deserve great praise and credit in this. This once again shows us why we live on Beaver Island. These people are my heroes.
Further information may be found on the BIBCO website and/or BIBCO's Facebook page. Thank you for your patience and great coverage during this trying time.
Barbara Schwartzfisher, Executive Director

So happy for everyone who has had to work harder while the engine was being fixed. And thank you for maintaining an effective life line. Have thought of the BIBCO staff and merchants many times during this. Hope you all can breathe easier now and get some well-deserved rest.
