Fred Hollows seems to have been a regular performer on the F1 recently, only 2 Freshies serviceable at the moment. It was out in the big swells yesterday, despite the naysayers claiming the new ones won't be operable in such conditions.

Watsons Bay Wharf service changes
Monday 30 August 2021

From Monday 6 September, F4 Cross Harbour, F9 Watsons Bay Sydney Ferries services will not be stopping at Watsons Bay Wharf which will be undergoing maintenance work. The wharf should reopen to Sydney Ferry services from Saturday 18 September.

A replacement bus service will run between Watsons Bay and Rose Bay wharves for the duration of the closure.

Plan your trip to see other alternative services.
F4 does not go near Watsons Bay since the Cross Harbour route was split.

Ferry wharves have been a favourite spot for amateur fishermen for generations.

A couple of ferries per hour would cause "major disruptions"?

The difference between the decisions on Lane Cove and Brooklyn seems bizarre.

You aren't going to encourage more adult pax via an 11% annual increase on Lane Cove

Spotted one of the River Class enjoying the swell across the heads this morning.

I'm assuming it's the same ferry then spotted berthing around Double Bay around 30 minutes later.
