Summary

On April 12, 2015, a Beaver Island Boat Company notice anticipated Coast Guard icebreaking in Paradise Bay and warned that the first seasonal ferry run could be delayed. Follow-up forum observations reported the icebreaker’s passage and the Emerald Isle clearing the lighthouse on April 13.

Evidence limits

The thread establishes the reported sequence but does not preserve the Coast Guard’s official operation log, exact ferry arrival time, or the full seasonal schedule.

Sources

  1. The Beaver Island Boat Company notice anticipated a Coast Guard arrival in Paradise Bay and warned of possible delays; subsequent same-day posts reported the icebreaker had passed and that the boat was clearing the lighthouse the next morning. The thread is an operator notice plus local observation, not a Coast Guard log or complete sailing record.
