Sad to hear. I hope there is not to much damage and Marine Atlantic can start with the ferry in march as planned.

I also heard unconfirmed reports that she broke loose and almost hit the Caribou

Uhh.. not a good start for her. But I think we have to see the good side in this. Maybe she just wants to run the Cabot Strait and not to be tied up for so long.

I seen photos of her after she broke loose, there is a wharf there, but I don't think it would have done much
