An overnight trip on a ferry is an alternative to a five hour flight?

Yes, unless you want to pay through the nose for a non-stop. Most go
to NYC with a layover

AirCanada offers round-trip service to Boston with no stops. 2-1/2
hours. Flying is a hassle, because of security and because of the
passengers are crap attitude of the airlines. If there were an overnight
ferry, I'd consider it.

My in-laws come up here on an overnight train from NE Florida. 12-hour
trip. They like it. Includes dinner and a sleeper compartment. No
airport/airline bull****.

**** the airlines.

This may be a guy trying to cash in on the federal handout for
ferries. There is a guy here who wants to start ferry service from Ft
Myers Beach to Sanibel and he said it was just to get the grant money.
Nobody can really point out the need. The Sanibel folks are saying
"... and then what"? The dock on their end is right in the middle of a
residential area with no services or easy way to get the people to a
tourist area.
Of course Sanibel folks would be happier if everyone who doesn't live
there would just stay home. They tolerate the shops on "Bullwinkle
drive" but they don't want you to go anywhere else.


This could be a replacement for the 'Cat' ferry that was just cancelled
between Yarmouth NS and Portland, Maine
Provincial govt' got tired of subsidizing that to the tune of millions each
year.

Not for flajim...he's on the no fly list. After all, why would he need a
fly when he's got nothing to take out of it.

He'd never fly here for sure.
We have new equipment coming in that would highlight his short comings.
