Dear Seastreak Defectors:

A couple of updates: The walkout is the week of May 16th - it was earlier stated the 17th.. we apologize for the confusion - The target date is going to stay the 17th- Make sure you let people know. We need to get as many supporters as possible - so please let people know on your boats and have them email us at to show their support and to get on the email list and so we can measure who is actually doing this.

Also, I've gotten complaints from my co-workers that regularly ride the NY Waterway boats that the "Damn Seastreakers are there already and taking up all the parking" - if people are defecting early because of ticket books running out, make sure you email Seastreak and let them know you've left and why. The email address is: joanne.conroy@seastreak.com also cc: ferryfriends@hotmail.com as they are posting letters on their website and filtering letters to the press. Also bcc us: seastreak_defectors@att.net. Also note that the lot is getting fuller, so you might want to try to be on a boat before 8 AM.

For you eloquent letter writers feel free to CC: Asbury Park Press: rbergmann@app.com.
So far no response from Seastreak on the increase, and we're talking to NYWW about different incentives for former Seastreak riders. NYWW seems more open to discussing things than Seastreak.

Thanks for the support and see you in Belford!
