The Harbor Ferry is close to being back in business again. This is the new ferry,  called the Island Paradise. U-S Coast Guard inspectors checked it out today. R-T-A shut down the ferry service last year. Now, this 65 foot boat is ready to take upwards to 40 passengers at a time for a 45 minute trip across the harbor. The cost? 3 bucks per person. It starts operating next friday.
