Tried to put this pic. on last night. I guess I'm not doing something right. One more try.

The Jackson was beautiful passing through Detroit.

Hi,
The Jackson is loading coal at Sandusky this morning. I Love to watch!

[Boatkitten]

I see the Jackson is coming into Sandusky. Wish the Funcam was working. Thought I'd watch her come in on the Register cam, but there's some kind of tug-of-war going on with that cam to look at the manholes and the clouds.

Looks like HCJ is bound for Buffalo. I don't know how to figure the time very well. I wonder if she will arrive in daylight. I hope there are pictures.

As a general rule (when weather, Soo or river traffic, etc. don't come into play) it takes about 17 hours from the Soo (cams there) to Port Huron (cam there) and another 5 to the Detroit River (cam there). Lake Erie travel time can be very iffy, especially when storms & winds blow in from the west and the water level drops.
Upbound to the Soo, a little more than an hour north of Port Huron is Port Sanilac. This is the link to the cam under Port Sanilac Marina http://links.boatnerd.com

HCJ is coming into Soo Locks and wouldn't you know the Soo Ontario cam isn't moving again.

Herbert C. Jackson leaving Duluth this evening.

Hey, Isn't she loading grain this time? I was thinking it was grain this time for Buffalo. I'm not sure that's right though.
I just checked out that cam too. I can't wait to see it in the daylight! I get all excited about good things like that.

[Boatkitten]

Thanks DC, but I see she's already there & I just got this. I'll check out the cam though. I hate I missed her going in. Mine & my friend's schedules have not worked well lately, so not as "up" on things as I'd like.
While I'm on here, Where is that Sailor13 who told us some things once?
Thanks again DC.

Very Nice! Thanks so much. You're right, makes me feel a little better, especially since I missed her arrival in Mqt. too. These are so nice.

I just recently discovered this live Duluth Lift Bridge webcam: http://www.duluthshippingnews.com/dsntv.html
The sidebar schedule shows her due at Duluth between 20:30 & 21:30 today.
Hope you can see her then.

Saw HCJ go through Soo Locks late last night. Couldn't really see that good & didn't get any pictures. So sad. I hope somebody gets some photos.

Maybe these (from March) will help.

I could barely see the Jackson at Bluewater. Looks like it's really storming there. It doesn't seem to be bothering the people in pleasure boats though.

It sure was storming! I was there -- first of a two-day escape to Lake Huron & the St. Clair River. Tornado warning sounded at Lexington, but major downpours were the major event, with streets flooded and power out in the NE part of Port Huron. Didn't last long, though.
