Got to Escanaba this Thursday in time to see three ships and get a great ship fix after a very long winter without any. The Joseph L Block loaded pellets, then departed. The Great Lakes Trader/ Joyce VanEnkevort arrived after struggling through the ice, followed by the American Mariner who had also been struggling and needed the assistance of the tug Erika Kobasic to get free. There were ice shanties very near the shipping lane. Sunny, but very windy and very, very cold, but, hey, ships!!
