I'm scheduled to take the ferry to and from Kodiak next week. How bad does the weather have to be to suspend ferry service? (or the bear flightseeing flights for that matter).
The ferry is seldom suspended too many people depend on it, but it can be delayed. The ferry is kept moving as much as possible to keep up the schedule.
You don't have to notify anyone on Kodiak if the ferry is off schedule. It is part of the pulse of the town and all know what is going on with the ferry and with flights.
As far as the bear flightseeing flights, they are suspended often. The weather on Kodiak is notoriously awful. Ask the Japanese who tried to bomb the island during WWII!
