Thanks

hey Dean & Gulfspan  do either of you know why Blue puttees is going back to St johns

[Dean Porter]

I could be wrong, but I think its to have some ramps installed

[Trucker001]

they could have done that when she was there the first time lol... what a waste of money to sail her from the city to Pab fuel up then to Nsydney then back to the city again  damm

Caribou was still in North Sydney last night. She'll have to be moved before the end of the month for sure.

[Ben Mugford]

A post by Mike Whitty in the Blue Puttees discussion said that she went back to North Sydney for a crew change.
I guess it doesn't hurt to give the crew all the training they can get before she's put into service. Perhaps they were doing some emergency drill training en route or something.

[Jarrod David]

I would hope they are using this time to train and familiarize themselves with the new ferries.There is still no firm word that Smallwoods last crossing is the 22nd. Any one hear anything on that?Thanks for the update as well Don!

Take Care

I just checked Marine Atlantic's schedule and the Smallwood is still sailing all of next week .  The last run will be on February 28 departing Port aux Basques at 11:30 and will arrive around 5:30 p.m. in North Sydney (almost eerily similar to the Caribou's last run)MV Blue Puttees will make her debut at 10:30 P.M on Feb 28.  http://www.marine-atlantic.ca/en/schedule/pabnsy1.asp?cboRoute=PBNS&cboDay=28&cboMonth=Feb&cboYear=11&button=Show

Am I late on some news or what?? I kind of expected the Caribou going to Sydport, where the Vacationland, John Hamilton Gray and Abegweit were laid up back in the day.  I only hope both ships find a new home somewhere and don't meet the same fate as the PEI ferries I just mentioned!!

[Jarrod David]

Thanks Jacques!

At 0700 Caribou is still at her berth at MA..

I havent looked in a bit over to Point Edward but ALGO has been tieing up there tankers there..I'll have a look a little later to see if anything is tied up there.

[Trucker001]

has caribou moved yet? or is she still at the MA terminal docks?

[Gulfspan]

has caribou moved yet? or is she still at the MA terminal docks?

Nope havent moved yet..

I do wonder if she hasnt lost a permit, I have from a decent source she has ..Meaning, she cant leave her berth unless under tow.

Then Again ..the berth in Sydport probably cant handle her, the dock is falling down ..

[Dean Porter]

You might see the Caribou move today...keep watch. Maybe around lunch time
