Rob contacted San Juan Cruises about getting a vessel to Blaine Harbor to make a run between Point Roberts and Blaine. The WTA has a zone service that would shuttle the residents from Blaine to the Cordata Station, where they could transfer where they need to go. The proposal is to have the boat run once to twice a day, once or twice a week to transport residents. Rob said the charter boat would be an expense to the Port, if the Commission were to approve this charter service.
