Unseasonably cold weather delayed at least one major commercial ferry [on Lake Erie] this spring.
Miller Boat Line was supposed to start running March 21, but thick ice around Put-in-Bay has delayed its first run of the spring by a week.
The late start is especially unusual considering the ferryboats were running into January — and two years ago, the ferry boats operated year-round. Miller Boat Line serves Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass Island.
Miller Boat Line’s four ferry boats were locked in about 8-10 inches of ice in the island’s bay last week, but could float free if temperatures warm.
Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line in Marblehead began operating Wednesday.
