What we knew first
- The Radisson has been dispatched, and the Joseph-Savard’s return is targeted for November 4 if repairs proceed as planned.
Still open then
- No first passenger sailing for the replacement vessel has been confirmed, nor has completion of every required clearance.
We said we'd watch for
- Watch for an actual passenger-service restart, arrangements for heavy-truck access, and confirmation that the damaged ferry is ready to return.
