If you are picking up freight with a vehicle you MUST wait until the boat leaves to go down to the dock and pick it up. If CBL will be using the forklift to load your freight into your vehicle arrive a couple minutes early so that the on-duty officer can help you position your vehicle properly.
 
There have been 2 seal pups on back shore for the last two days. Marine Mammal rescue has been notified multiple times. They are aware of the situation. If you come across seals or seal pups on the shore line keep a minimum distance of 100' from them. DO NOT interfere with them-the right response is to notify the Marine Mammal Rescue 1-800-532-9551.
