$32,000,000 USD buys the ferry...
The city of Rochester now owns the ferry, I am so excited.! The mayor believes the service will be back up and running by end of May.
The ferry now gets pulled out of the Port of Rochester and goes to dry-dock for some repairs and some painting, the CATS logo and some other things need to be removed.
Our mayor has put a lot of effort into this, and from the sound of the news it will be a lot easier to run this operation as public transportation instead of a private organization like CATS was.

They spoke about the TO terminal as being 4/5 complete, as well as work would resume immediately to get it completed.

isn't watkins glen, no hard top no s2000 runs ?
The BMW CCA I teach for has ruled out all convertibles for students. However there are other organizations that do allow the S2000 in stock form. In fact I'm teaching this spring for an organization I have never played with before, the SCDA. I know we already have a couple of the Upstater's signed up for that school. There is a thread in Upstste of all places about the school...

As an FYI, from the Port of Rochester it would be closer to 2 hours. I live closer to The Glen than the Port of Rochester and it takes me 1.5 hours to get there.
