Michipicoten

The Michipicoten arrived at Marquette today about 4, quickly loaded and was on her way out by 7.  Three hours is a quick load, especially now that the lake is higher and she can take on more ore.  The new doors on the ore pockets has to aid in the faster loads.

Commenting

I'm still new at this blogging stuff, and wondered why no one posted a comment.  Learned that they get sent to my e-mail, but today is the first I received that.  Keep on trying and I'll try to get the kinks out.  :o)    I have learned that if you click on the title first, it will allow you to go to a comment section.  It does still filter, though, and won't post until I log on and look at it, it seems.  Anyway, keep trying, and thanks.

Man Over Video, Indiana Harbor

Here is a video I took while on the Chief Shingwauk of the Indiana Harbor dropping a man overboard to "walk" the lines and tie the ship up while it's in the locks.   The ship is moving.

Finally!

Okay, I must apologize for those of you who read this (but no one posts.....is there a problem?...do I have to add something to this blog to get responses?  just wondering) for being so lax in blogging.  This past month has been filled with Gwinn Centennial events, and I was just, frankly, too tired to do more than briefly check e-mail.   Those of you who know me can e-mail me directly, and I'll try to see how to allow postings.

Did get to see the John J Munson and Michipicoten today.  It was a beautiful day after the fog in Marquette lifted.

Soo and all

It's been a busy time, so haven't done any posting.  Actually have a few hundred pictures that I need to organize and post on boatnerd or pasty.com or somewhere.  :o)  Will try to add a Speer salute here.
