The ferry between Yarmouth, N.S., and Bar Harbor, Maine, is set to begin its season on July 15 despite the challenges and restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ferry service, operated by Bay Ferries Ltd. and known as the CAT, will not be operating daily crossings when the season is scheduled to begin.
Instead, the CAT will carry out crossings on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in July. The opening week will see the ferry operate on a modified schedule of Wednesday and Friday.
In August, the CAT will carry out crossings every day except Wednesdays. But even the preliminary schedule is subject to change.
