Presque Isle Strikes North Breakwall

[Guest]

Does the vessel still have the huge wheel on the stand? Asking for a friend.

Come on garbear, when they write it up in the log they will not say strike but "touched".

Sorry for not having a handle on the English language.

I think hugh3 was only making light of how when log entries are made wording can be parsed, i.e. using haze instead of fog should an accident happen, lol

Guess my sense of humor is too serious. Can't get mad at the old timers on this page.

Naw garbear I was just pointing out how they would try to minimize any damage. You must have seen that during your years on the boats..

I know. I just had to give you some crap. She's now at the Port Terminal. Will be curious to see how long she's there.
All the Best!!

This morning (Mon) the M/V Presque Isle spent a bit of time possibly hung up under the Duluth Aerial Bridge. They were quite close to the north pier. After centering the boat, they went into Lake Superior and are now circling to the right - possibly for an inspection? I will make no formal pronouncement till all authorities have weighed in.

[garbear]

She is stopping out in the lake, I'll assume for inspection.

Presque Isle strikes the North Breakwall on her way out of Duluth the a.m. She cleared and continued down the lake.
