A decision on the night ferry agreement should be judged at the ferry crossing between Vesperhold and Far Quay, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Date every record and distinguish a current rule from a custom that has simply lasted a long time. The current file is the Year fourth, early thaw window 1 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.

The the joint timetable, crew rota and passenger connection slips lists 86 connections completed within the agreed transfer time; the previous window lists 86. Lucien Vale checked both against the original record checked against the date it was amended and used. The difference matters because how a passenger can plan a transfer when the towns use different day boundaries.

Each port says its departure time is locally correct. Travelers need a conversion on the shared board. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.

A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, the two towns publish departure times from different clock boards.

The Year fourth, early thaw window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Both ports will publish the same conversion beside their local time.
