* PLEASE NOTE: Ferry ridership has been impacted by the U.S. Coast Guard required annual dry dockings for inspection of vessels. The M.V. Del Norte was in dry dock from January 28 through March 4, and the M.V. Mendocino went into dry dock on March 31 and is anticipated to return to service at the end of May (this dry dock is long as new engines are being installed). |
