 As there was no opening at the time for the work to be done in the dry dock, a team of divers was flown in from California to assist in the repairs.Regular sailings resumed August 15, 2008.It was the first time since 1993 (when it struck a rock at Ludington) that "Badger" was laid up for unscheduled repairs and the first time since 2005 that the company canceled a sailing because of mechanical failure.
