Dozens of Southeast Alaska residents have been stranded in Juneau after their expected Alaska Marine Highway System ferry departure was delayed for days.
Kadake-Smith said that the trip from Kake to Juneau is approximately 18 hours with multiple stops, and that many Southeast residents who are stuck in Juneau are having to pay for lodging and food that they had not planned for. Kadake-Smith said that ferry riders were originally told that there would not be another sailing to Kake until February.
“A lot of people here that are depending on getting home right away and everybody is on a tight budget and using up the last of our funds just to stay here until Tuesday,” Kadake-Smith said. “We’re just glad to be able to get home by Tuesday. It’s not Christmas Eve and it’s not February.”This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.
