Joey,
Any idea if the ferry has been busy in its infancy? Hopefully it does well, I am trying to figure out when the wife, baby and I can get on for a day trip! $80 to Ptown and back seems like a steal in this time of $4+ gasoline…
Initial reports of passenger counts don’t seem well with but the thing is in it’s infancy.
Hopefully it catches on because I don’t think it would last long steaming across to P Town and burning all that fuel with only a hand full of passengers.
If it fails it won’t bode well because the state hangs it’s hat on Ferry service being a marine industrial use allowed within a Designated Port. If we can’t support it, then there is one more use that they keep telling us is allowed but not financially viable.
Seems like it would a nice ride back and forth, but the price seems high to visit another seaport.
Maybe a gloucester to boston ferry would do better.
take care, Paul

I’m rooting for it to succeed.
