Check the video She was making about 4 MPH and ran into the bottom and came to a full stop. after a few minutes of backing, she resumed her turn. Very surprised they did not check her bottom.

They were trying to avoid a small boat anchored near the traffic bouy. They did not ground. Now headed down the lake. This is direct from someone who works on the boat

@7:20 - MESABI MINER missed the last turn before the Lift bridge outbound this date. Waiting to see if she goes back to a dock or anchors out for Coast guard inspection...
