S1, E6 The Shore Line presents: Put-in-Bay in the Winter with Miller Ferries
Yes, there are islands in Ohio! And, yes, people live on them year-round. On this episode Jill and Dayton chat with Put-in-Bay island native, David Bianchi, a Captain and Chief Engineer with Miller Ferries to Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass Island. David loves his community and loves island life – even in the winter. He shares some fun memories and interesting winter season stories. David tells us how island residents keep busy in the off-season and how they get their supplies when the ferry is unable to run, due to winter weather and a sometimes-frozen Lake Erie. We learn how the ferry operates an important service and acts as a lifeline to the islands, carrying much more than just passengers. We hear some fun tales on the logistics of transporting full-size semi-trucks, helicopters, and even full concert tours, like the annual Bash on the Bay. Finally, David tells us all about the fleet of boats operated by Miller Ferries and what he loves about his job. Get details on the ferry service, schedules, island information, and even discounts at MillerFerry.com.
