Horne's Ferry Set to Begin 2023 Season in Cape Vincent

Following a three-month postponement, Horne's Ferry is now preparing for its inaugural trip of the 2023 season. The ferry, which usually commences operations in May and continues until October, experienced certain setbacks related to staffing problems and maintenance work that was put on hold.

Even though there was a delay, Cape Vincent, the town where the ferry operates, is buzzing with enthusiasm. The local community, including residents and business owners, is extremely excited about the return of the ferry. One of the residents, named Michael Closter, who spends his summers in the area, shared his eagerness, highlighting the ferry as an excellent mode of transportation.

The initial journey of the season is planned for Tuesday morning at 8 a.m., setting off from Wolfe Island in Canada and proceeding towards Cape Vincent. The recommencement of the ferry service holds great importance for the local community, as it brings attention to Cape Vincent and provides an exceptional cross-border transportation alternative across the St. Lawrence River.

Kristie Stumpf Rork, the head of the Cape Vincent Chamber of Commerce, shared her feelings of relief and excitement about the ferry's comeback. After enduring a significant loss due to the ferry's absence for half the season, tomorrow marks the beginning of a chance for them to reclaim some of their tourism business.

The article states that Scott Gray, a member of the State Assembly, recognized the difficulties faced by Horne's Ferry and declared his dedication to guaranteeing its ongoing prosperity. Gray intends to have a meeting with Canadian authorities to tackle the specifics of the delay and exchange ideas on how to sustain the ferry's activities.

Now that the delay is in the past, the main objective is to ensure a hassle-free season until October. Cape Vincent eagerly anticipates the arrival of tourists and aims to offer them an unforgettable ferry journey.
