This is a video of the <i>Sacre Bleu</i>, the only boat Shepler’s has running, leaving St. Ignace yesterday. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154104350790217&set=vb.199146720216&type=2&theater">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154104350790217&set=vb.199146720216&type=2&theater</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I called Shepler’s this morning to ask how 150 people would fit on this boat. They hope to be able to put buses and vans on the deck and fill them with people, but they aren’t sure they will be able to because yesterday ice was coming over the bow. Getting there is only our first concern. With a shift in the wind it could jam up again and we could be stranded on the island. Ferry service is still subject to cancellation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Are we the only chickens?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nannette Miller<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Elk Rapids District Library<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
