Some ferries canceled thanks to Erins rough surf

Hurricane Erin's impact continues to affect ferry services in the Boston area, leading to multiple cancellations and delays. The MBTA confirmed that the Lynn, Quincy, and Winthrop ferries were canceled on Friday, with minor delays anticipated for the Charlestown, East Boston, and Hingham/Hull ferries. The Steamship Authority diverted some trips originally scheduled for Oak Bluffs to Vineyard Haven, waiving change and cancellation fees for affected travelers. The National Weather Service issued warnings for strong winds and hazardous swimming conditions along the Cape and Islands. These conditions are expected to persist through Saturday evening, with large breaking waves creating dangerous situations.

Local officials are closely monitoring the weather and water conditions to ensure traveler safety. Passengers are encouraged to check for updates on their travel plans as the situation evolves. The disruptions highlight the ongoing challenges posed by severe weather in the region.
