UPDATE: Received word from the Seldovia City office (thanks to Jen Giles) that the Kennicott is now approximately 12 hours behind schedule due to high winds and hazardous seas.
Please take note of the following changes to the upcoming arrival and departure times for Seldovia. I have posted the departure and arrival times for Homer as well for your convenience. The scheduled sailing for Monday, October 7th has been pushed back to TUESDAY, October 8th arriving at 1:45 AM and departing at 3:00 AM.

Kennicott Reschedules September and October Stops for Seldovia
by Jenny Chissus
I just received word from the Seldovia City office (thanks to Jen Giles) that the Kennicott is approximately 30 hours behind schedule due to high winds and hazardous seas out by Unalaska.
Please take note of the following changes to the upcoming arrival and departure times for Seldovia.
The scheduled sailing for Saturday, September 28th has been cancelled and rescheduled for Monday, September 30th arriving at 12:45 AM and departing at 2:00 AM.
The scheduled sailing for Saturday, October 5th has also been cancelled and rescheduled for Monday, October 7th arriving at 1:30 PM and departing at 2:45 PM.
The hope is that the Kennicott will be back on her regular schedule by the Saturday, October 12th sailing. Please take note, and be sure to contact the city office or AMHS main office to confirm your sailing date and reservations. Obviously, we will be hoping to see the Tusty back in Seldovia – maybe by the end of October?
Tusty Delayed Return Continues
Received by the City of Seldovia
Dear Elected Official,
Unfortunately, completion of the Tustumena refurbishment project has suffered another setback. On Friday ultrasonic thickness testing of repairs to the hull identified three areas where the improper thickness of steel plate was installed. Seward Ship and Drydock has the appropriate thickness plate in stock and replacement of the undersized material began over the weekend. This work will push back the launch date to approximately September 20. Based on this new information, the Tustumena will not be in service until mid-October and therefore the Kennicott will remain in southwest Alaska for the first part of October to provide service to Kodiak. The October schedule will be revised accordingly.

Love that! Just got off the phone with Chaz at the Seldovia ferry office, and the Tusty is coming in the bay right now (2:43pm) and she said that they are hoping to have a speedy turn around and leave on time at 4:30pm! So, if you are taking off today – get ready to go!!
AMHS Ferry Schedule Update – September 16, 2012
by Jenny Chissus
This is not an official AMHS schedule report, but serves as helpful local information only.
I just got off the phone with the Homer AMHS terminal to verify the arrival into Seldovia today. Due to weather, the Tustumena just arrived (around 11:30am) into Homer, when its normal arrival there should have been 9:00am. So, in essence, she is about 2.5 hours behind schedule. Usually the AMHS tries to make up time when running behind, but I wanted to get the word out that it will definitely be late today getting into Seldovia. You can call the 1-800-642-0066 number for reservations or information or call the Homer terminal directly for more definitive information at 235-8449.
