Customers from Long Harbour (Salt Spring Island), Otter Bay (Pender Island) and Village Bay (Mayne Island) will be unable to travel directly to and from Tsawwassen this morning, as a result of these cancellations. However, the vessel will still be performing its interisland service, beginning with an 11:00 am departure from Sturdies Bay to Village Bay.
