Request to all Islanders to Help Improve Ferry Service (with a special plea to construction crews and movers)

First, I want to thank the ferry crew for their excellent handling of the especially high traffic of exceptionally heavy construction & moving vehicles (at least 4 cement mixers, 2 heavy-duty Mack trucks, 2 long-haul moving trucks, & a flatbed with crane) on Wednesday, 31 July. 

Unfortunately, even with the best of efforts, that many difficult-to-maneuver vehicles resulted in a lengthy delay of sailings (nearly an hour's delay by mid-day).

While there's no avoiding these kinds of delays, it would help relieve the burden on us all if everyone responsible for such transports would please notify the community in advance of high traffic and/or heavy transport (through espokes@gmail.com & thetisposts and the Busy Ferry Schedule at www.thetisisland.net, contact veronica@thetisisland.net) so that we can plan our travel accordingly.

Many thanks!
Concerned Islanders
