Hickman, KY – The Dorena-Hickman Ferry has continued to be plagued by high winds this morning. The ferry which transports riders from Hickman Kentucky to Dorena Missouri, resumed service at 7:00 a.m., today, after being closed much of Sunday afternoon. The ferry has made several trips across the Mississippi River this morning but the wind has forced Captain Ed Floyd to re-evaluate the weather every half hour to determine if it is safe for the ferry to operate. Ferry Officials say anyone who plans to cross on the ferry today should call ahead at before going to the ferry landing.
