Beaver Island Michigan

Pirate and Others - Well said and a nice tribute to Don. He most certainly was a nice guy and great friend to many. Even though he left the Island sometime ago, many of us stayed in touch with him by e-mail and phone up until the last few weeks. He will be missed by many and mourned by all who knew ...

Let me add my THANK YOU to BIBCo for posting on their website! Posting to the website may not seem to be a big deal to Sour Grapes and others. However, it is an indication of BIBCo being sensitive to customers' needs and show of concern for customer service which will go a long ways in improving PR ...

For "sour grapes" you are damn optimistic about the future of BIBCo. I don't expect BIBCo to change their failing ways because of my posts. I don't expect they will post on the Forum because of my posts. What I do expect (hope for) is they would use their own website, not FB, to communicat...

I think you misunderstand my post. Not saying the Forum is where smart businesses or even those lacking customer service should post unless they want to be service oriented. What I'm saying is BIBCo did not even post schedule delay or cancellations in the designated tap on their website. How tough w...

Thank you! Who knew? So social media is the go-to for BIBCo information? Silly me would have thought www.bibco.com would be the source for boat information to include "Boat Delay & Cancellations". So many things to remember.

Still showing running as scheduled for, 10/22, no delays or cancellations posted on website. Buckle up!

The waves today, 10/22, at 11:00am are forecast for 15+ feet but the BIBCo webpage shows the additional scheduled run is still a go.

Wednesday 10/16: The boat cancelled today because of weather. An additional trip has been planned for tomorrow, 10/17, departing BI 8:20am, departing CVX 11:30am.

I post the additional trips on the Forum simply because I think more people connected to the Island this time of year read the Forum over pulling up BIBCo webpage or Facebook. It would be great if BIBCo or BITA would use the Forum to keep the public informed on any number of issues to include schedu...

The BIBCo has added additional trips to the printed schedule for the Beaver Islander: Oct 22, Oct 29, Nov 5, Departing BI 11:20am, Departing CVX 2:30pm.

I echo Ken's applause sentiments to both township supervisors for not only taking an active interest but a position on recent BIRHC activities. I sense that the tide of involvement by both township officials as well as the general public is changing. Hopefully the BIRHC board and select members will...

My first encounter with Don Spenser was a number of years ago while attending a BIRHC Open Meeting along with a few dozen other concerned citizens with questions as to why the Health Center released a popular licensed care provider. When the public packed St. James Township Hall, Don Spenser, a BIRH...

Jeff - I know your frustration and believe a few others share it also. Does anyone believe that the board who has let Beaver Island go without contractual dental service for two years, promised with a commitment of taking tax dollars, could care about how the public feels? It's evident that they kno...

BIBCo has added 3 additional departures to the published schedule: Oct 1, 8, 15, Dept. BI 11:20am, Dept. Charlevoix 2:30pm.

In case you missed it, the Emerald Isle will add a trip to Friday's, 9/20, schedule. Departing at BI 2:20pm and departing CVX at 5:30pm before heading for dry dock and scheduled maintenance on 9/22.
