Town manager reports ferry captains opposed 4:30 run; board elects not to pursue
Summary
Town Manager Marjorie Stratton said internal letters from Vinalhaven ferry captains opposed a 4:30 run; the MSFS manager would not release the letters and the board agreed not to pursue the matter further.
Town Manager Marjorie Stratton told the Board of Selectmen she continued to advocate for keeping a 4:30 ferry run but that the MSFS manager had summarized internal letters from every Vinalhaven run captain opposing the change. When asked, the town was told the letters were internal ferry service documents and could not be shared.
After hearing that summary, the board reached consensus that it was not worth pursuing the issue further at this time. No formal motion or vote on changing the run was recorded in the minutes.
The matter may reappear if MSFS provides additional documentation or if the town receives new input from run captains or users.
