On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse crossed North America aligning with the sailing of the MV Pelee Islander II. Thank you to all of our Terminal Staff and the Captain and Crew of the Pelee Islander II who made this unique experience possible:https://t.co/YW0UqLIgaB.
@ItsThe_PITS@ontarioferries@fordnation@C_Mulroney 18 knots? I haven’t seen 18 knots since Thursday. I make cancellation decisions using a calculated risk assessment. Your community- and mine - would really miss this boat if we did damage and went to dry dock. You’re welcome. FYI the wind has been 30+ knots all weekend
@ItsThe_PITS@ONtransport@ontarioferries As usual, the forecast was wrong. This was the actual wind when we tied up last night. Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to judge, as you have in the past, when only using forecasts.
@ItsThe_PITS@C_Mulroney@fordnation Everyone wants to blame OSTC for crewing issues but being constantly criticized by ferry users who have not experienced our challenges doesn’t make a job enjoyable.
@ItsThe_PITS@C_Mulroney@fordnation Well armchair Captain- what the forecast predicts, - because that’s all a forecast is- a best guess, and what we actually experience are more often then not - very different. For example- tonight the forecast was N wind 15 kts. We experienced upwards of 30 NNE the entire trip
