No more ferry trips between Lewes and Cape May today as icy waters and high winds force the ferry to cancel several crossings Thursday and early Friday.

Cape May-Lewes Ferry trips were suspended as of noon on Thursday because of heavy ice conditions created by the brutally cold temperatures. The high winds across the Delaware Bay were also a factor in the decision to suspend sailings.

On Friday, the 7:30 a.m trip out of Cape May and the 9:15 a.m. passage out of Lewes have also been cancelled to give tug boat operators enough time to clear the ice near the docks on both the Delaware and New Jersey sides.
