Many thanks.

Mornin' all.. Kind of chilly here in the harbor again today.

The 704' H. LEE WHITE anchored since about four AM in Bete Grise, is about ready to heave anchor (10:40 EST) and return her voyage to Silver (Bay or Harbor?), as per her Skipper to the USCG on CH22.

Conditions must be easing on the windward side of Gitchee Gumee.

Good morning from chilly southern Nevada!

Good morning everyone! Today's Astronomy Picture Of The Day is a great satellite picture of a lake effect snowstorm. Check it out!!!

What a terrific picture on that link! Thanks, Robert, CO.

Robert CO, thanks, that pic is awesome!

Someone said there is an ore boat near Tech headed for the bridge. Should see it on the bridge cam within 15 minutes or so....

The Buckeye just went under the bridge. Didn't get to see it on the bridge cam though.

The Bridge Cam just caught the tail end of her with the bridge still in the upright position!

Another ore boat headed toward the bridge. This one is still between Chassell and Tech so it'll be awhile.

Ha! :) Mary, you beat me to it! I was just going to add the bridge cam photo... I caught it too.
I added a photo of the bridge one day last week, just because it was so cool... https://www.pasty.com/discus/messages/278/527.html?TuesdayNovember2320041037am

At approximately 2:35 pm Tuesday, November 30, 2004 the
Joseph H. Frantz came through the lower end of the Keweenaw
Waterway heading upbound. In looking up the ship name on
the internet, it is an old ship that has been converted and last
season was used to carry stone and coal. We are presuming
that she is carrying road salt/gravel up to the Houghton area.

So now, with the report of the Frantz making her way to the bridge, nobody will get any work done this afternoon, since we'll all be clicking on the Bridge Cam trying to catch it!
Uh, Charlie, not me though, I'll be diligently working! ;->

Lots of ore boat activity today in the Keweenaw! This is a picture of the H. Lee White in Bete Grise Bay at dawn this morning.

Question: Road salt I understand. But you need to haul gravel up there? I thought you used all the native rock. Just asking...

Well, I was just all tickled to see a little boat going down the canal. Did I miss the big one?

Nevermind, I should have read further back. I did miss the big one -- DARN!

AS GREAT FREIGHTER'S GO SHE WAS BIGGER THAN MOST!

Wow... thank you for sharing Mrs. Bill... the photo of the H. Lee White at dawn this morning is gorgeous!

John Dee's journal tonight also has a picture of the Frantz. Later, Skylar.

Great shots of the bridge and boats. It reminds me of being a very little girl and seeing them with my grandfather.
