HYANNIS – Hy-Line Cruises has canceled morning ferry service between Hyannis and Nantucket on Thursday, October 22nd and morning service between Hyannis and Nantucket because of weather conditions.
The affected departures include the 9:25 a.m. ferry from Hyannis to Martha’s Vineyard and the 11 a.m. return trip from Martha’s Vineyard to Hyannis. The 3:15 p.m. departure from Hyannis and the 4:25 p.m. return trip from the island were also canceled.

The Steamship Authority diverted the early afternoon ferry from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven from Oak Bluffs. Another vessel was cancelled due to mechanical issues.
The cancellations come as strong winds and hazardous seas affect waters around Cape Cod and the Islands.
The National Weather Service issued a gale warning for Nantucket Sound, Vineyard Sound, Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards Bay, forecasting northerly winds of 20 to 30 knots, with gusts up to 40 knots, and seas of 4 to 6 feet. The warning is in effect until 2 p.m. Friday, October 23.
