An image from June so don’t know how useful it is, but a rare working of an Emerald on the F1

Re: Ferry Observations for 2021
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.

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.

Re: Ferry Observations for 2021
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

New Double Bay Wharf proposed.
Extends a lot further into the bay.

Re: Ferry Observations for 2021
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.

Re: Ferry Observations for 2021
Also just noticed Captain Cook's Annabelle Rankin as shown by Anytrip as operating on the F3.
I dont recall having seen in as being tracked previously.

Re: Ferry Observations for 2021
But so far Anytrip has not shown any Freshwater trips today with the 15.50 (3.50pm) not showing so far, leaving only the 17.50 from Circular Quay and return trip.
