During inspection of #Chelan, divers found hull damage, which requires dry docking for repairs. We're working with Coast Guard on permission to tow boat out of #FridayHarbor & clearance for another vessel to serve #SanJuanIslands interisland route, which remains out of service.

We're working with the Coast Guard on investigating what led to the incident. Because there is only 1 tie-up slip at #FridayHarbor, our #SanJuanIslands Interisland route will remain out of service until #Chelan is cleared to move. That's when we plan to move another vessel there.
