Thank you Captain Ross! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your stories. You have brightened many of my days reading your stories.

Bristol Bay passing under bridge at about 11:10 AM Wednesday.

I didn't double-check the stats but the video is fantastic! I'm saying that the Barker is my favorite 1,000 footer. It certainly sounds the best to me!
Thank-you for making my Friday better.

So an example of what I was referring to is the Wilfred Sykes, according to the Port Report on the News Page, is loading in Cedarville and Port Inland on Saturday and Sunday. I assume that it is a partial load at each unless they are unloading somewhere in between or Sykes is faster than I thought.

Thanks much for the info!

Forgive me if this is obvious but why do boats stop at multiple quarries to make one load? Is it a supply issue or a mix of materials desired or just multiple loads for different destinations?
Maybe I am missing something.

Is it a money issue or time issue? I would chip in a few $ if that's the prob. I live far away and can't help otherwise.

Thank you Mr Link! That was what I was looking for!

Is there any info available on the St. Mary's River project that Jason is working on? Forgive me if I have missed it, I searched here and couldn't find anything.

I never noticed that there was a What's New page before. Thanks. I guess following the same old ruts isn't always the best way.

I am hearing some Coast Guard traffic from time to time now but nothing from the Corp or ship traffic. Does anybody know if they will get that back?

You can use this as a backup when the Corps. cams are messed up.

Wow! Thanks for the info. I didn't expect all of that. I had looked on the web quite a bit but didn't think about bid docs.

Anybody know what's up with the Mac? She's been in Sturgeon Bay for a long time.

This works for me.

Is the Canadian Lock in the Soo open this year? I haven't heard any activity on the scanner from there.

She finally made it up to the Soo this morning. What a trip!

I am wondering the same thing. Is she actually still in the same spot or is there something wrong with the Vessel Passage Map? Anybody know what's up?

Thanks. I don't get up there that often and I was disappointed that there was no activity. I even drove up to Marquette to get a fix and there was nothing there the day I went.

Why no boats for over a week? Does anybody know?
