Hi, just wondering how the ferry's winter on the island? Are they locked in ice or do they use a bubbler system to keep the ice from forming around them?
The Beaver Islander ( the smaller boat) can be frozen in with out any difficulties. The Emerald Isle must have a bubbler around the bow to keep the ice clear of her bowthruster. Hope this helps.
