Washington State Ferries will make several sailing schedule adjustments around Christmas and Hanukkah, and all routes switch over to the winter sailing schedule on Jan. 1.

The Seattle/Bainbridge Island, Mukilteo/Clinton and Point Defiance/Tahlequah routes will be on holiday schedule on Monday, Dec. 26 — check WSF’s fall schedule for details on vessel sailing times. All other routes remain on their normal fall schedules throughout the December holidays.

The winter sailing schedule is effective on Sunday, Jan. 1.

Changes include:

— No inter-island vessel on the weekends in the San Juan Islands

— No third vessel on the weekends on the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route

— No service between Anacortes and Sidney, B.C.

Islanders should pay particular attention to the winter 2012 sailing schedule for minor sailing time adjustments to improve reliability.
