FERRY PROTECTED FROM EARL

The Lahave Ferry is heading back out on the water.

The service was shut down in anticipation of hurricane Earl

Bernie Ostebo with the Lahave ferry service said yesterday, the worst of the weather has passed.

We're expecting a little more wind to shift around here after the storm passes through. Possibly some more heavy rain showers but the storm has subsided now so it should be good for transporting the public back and forth," says Ostebo.

Ostebo says they were prepared for the worst but the severe damage they expected never materialized in the harbour.

"There's no visible damage around here anywhere. But where inside here, in the bay, in the mouth of the river. were pretty well protected from real heavy stuff," says Ostebo.

Ferry service was up and running at 1 pm on Saturday.
