Covid ain’t got nothin’ on the wind.
The reality of life on an island once again came to the forefront Friday, as an incoming storm killed a planned football game.
Coupeville High School was supposed to travel to Port Townsend for a non-conference game with East Jefferson, but the game was cancelled an hour before the Wolves were set to board the bus.
With several ferry runs between Coupeville and Port Townsend already being cancelled today, the chances of getting to the mainland were limited, and the chances of getting back even slimmer.
A wind advisory, with predictions of winds gusting up to 55 miles per hour, is in effect through 8 PM Friday night.
The game will not be rescheduled.
Instead Coupeville (0-2) moves forward into Northwest 2B/1B League play, hosting La Conner next Friday, Sept. 24.
