Marine Atlantic's efforts to clear a backlog of traffic in both Nova Scotia and southern Newfoundland were hampered Friday as a stubborn storm continued to howl.
The Crown corporation's largest vessel, the Atlantic Vision, remains docked in North Sydney. Marine Atlantic had hoped to be able to dispatch the vessel on Thursday night with a full load of commercial traffic, but conditions were still too rough in the Cabot Strait for a safe crossing.
Marine Atlantic has been able to move other traffic since Wednesday night, albeit at reduced speeds.
The ferry Leif Ericson left Port aux Basques for Cape Breton early Friday morning, and the Joseph and Clara Smallwood is expected to arrive in Port aux Basques from North Sydney mid-morning Friday.
Marine Atlantic had 800 reservations to deal with when it parked its ferries Monday night amid a storm that eventually brought winds well over 100 km/h and waves cresting at nine metres in height.
The disruption has affected the Christmas holiday plans for scores of families, and postponed the delivery of mail and parcels.
