Mail Boat
The Covid compliant Doris E. began mail deliveries to the islands today. Social distancing passengers on board.
The bad news. . . no ice cream. Yet |

Does the mail boat deliver to any island or just certain ones?

Maybe I'm mistaken but isn't the Sophie C the mail boat?
Or is it a COVID victim? Last edited by winniwannabe; 06-30-2020 at 09:29 AM. Reason: Added 2nd sentence |

Sophie C was the mailboat but had spent the last couple seasons drydocked getting major hull work done.
It is no longer in drydock, but I have not seen it at Weirs yet. My guess is, it was launched and sits in Center Harbor, but not yet ready to return to service. |

Sophie C. is not ready yet. The Mount and Doris have needed modification to make them Covid compliant. Also there is a railway in Center Harbor. It pulls the Mount out of the water every few years for hull painting or major repairs. It is not functional, and is getting a major overhaul. This all has delayed the return of Sophie.
