UPDATE: Monday, February 17, 9:02 a.m.
The 87-car Evergreen State will continue to sail in the #3 sailing position through approximately Thursday, March 20. The 34-car Hiyu will operate as the interisland vessel during this time. There is no passenger elevator on the Hiyu, but there is a portable restroom on the car deck. Because the E-State is slower than the schedule allows, the 9:25 am sailing from Anacortes to Lopez and the 10:20 am sailing from Lopez to Anacortes will be cancelled through Thursday in order to reset the schedule. The Hyak’s 10:30 am eastbound sailing from Friday Harbor will make an unscheduled stop at Lopez Island at approximately 11:05 am. By mid-afternoon, the 144-car Yakima will replace the E-State, making the 2:10 pm sailing from Anacortes to Friday Harbor, the 5:20 pm sailing from Anacortes to Lopez and the 7:10 pm sailing from Anacortes to Shaw and Orcas.
