The 6:45 p.m. sail­ing from Ana­cortes to Lopez and the 7:35 p.m. sail­ing from Lopez to Ana­cortes Sat­ur­day have been can­celed due to a crew­ing shortage.

Pas­sen­gers with reser­va­tions for those trips will be loaded onto one of the sub­se­quent sail­ings to their des­ti­na­tion and can check the Ana­cortes / San Juan Islands Sched­ule for spe­cif­ic depar­ture times.

All exist­ing reser­va­tion hold­ers will be pri­or­i­tized and loaded on a first-come, first-served basis, and new reser­va­tions on the route have been closed to ensure enough space is avail­able to accom­mo­date exist­ing reser­va­tion holders.

How­ev­er, cus­tomers who choose to post­pone their trav­el for today will not incur a no-show fee. Please note that stand­by space will be extreme­ly lim­it­ed for the remain­der of the day.

WSF will make every attempt to accom­mo­date reser­va­tion hold­ers on their reserved sail­ing and those affect­ed by the can­celed sail­ing, but cus­tomers may encounter extend­ed waits. Cus­tomers who are able to post­pone their trav­el this evening are encour­aged to do so.

Thank you for your con­tin­ued patience and under­stand­ing while we work to nav­i­gate this chal­leng­ing time.
