The SS Badger will not be sailing today due to storm force winds and high waves from 20 to 25 feet predicted on Lake Michigan, keeping in mind passenger comfort, according to Lake Michigan Carferry.The carferry was designed to sail in all types of weather, but with such high winds and waves, it likely would be a rough ride.

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

20-25 ft...holy smoke...who'd get aboard a ferry, let alone run it on such a day. It would be the E. Fitzgerald II.

Joel,

Even though they call it a ferry it’s built & looks like a ship if I recall it’s length it’s just under 500' with a stern loading gate that carries semi trucks & autos from mid Wis. to mid MI. saving the drive several hrs in time & $$$$ in fuel. Even though I’d sure wouldn’t wantta B out there in 20 something foot waves.Sick The Badger gets caught out on Lake MI. once or twice a yr. in a storm. I believe it was 2007 when they had recorded winds 97.6 mph when the Badger was about half way across the 63mi jaunt wow where there ever stories at the breakfast tables at the restaurants that morning by the tourist that also come across from Wis. & points west Anxious

Norm,
