BAR HARBOR—At the request of State Representative Gary Friedmann and a lawyer representing Bay Ferries, the Bar Harbor Town Council this week unanimously supported efforts to no longer use pilots to bring The CAT, a high-speed ferry that brings passengers from Bar Harbor, Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia into Frenchman Bay between May and October.

No reason to have a state pilot on a ferry.
No reason not to require at least one watch officer with federal pilotage for the route.

My wife and I sailed on the Cat. The captain is a Mass Maritime graduate and makes a round trip every 24 hours. He certainly knows the waters and has local knowledge.
