FYI- anyone thinking of attending needs to secure flights ASAP......travel to/from is very limited (like 1 plane a day that seats 30-40 people).

The fast ferry stopped running last year and I don't think it ever restarted.

Float plane is a Cessna Caravan...8 passenger seats I think though Cessna does build them with more seats but they get sparse.

Big ferry is gone but local paper notes a smaller one restarted.
