Barker Horn Ringtone

If you would like to make the Barker Horn your Ringtone (crazy) here are the files.
I have never added a ringtone, you will have to find what works for your device on the internet.
Good luck!
Warning-this may get peoples attention, but, not everyone is a boat nerd and may react differently!

James R Barker arrived Duluth 12/28/2017 - 4X speed



James R Barker arrived Duluth this morning to load iron pellets. The Barker had been stuck in ice on the St Mary's River for a bit.

The Barker's horn was not working, so I added it from a previous arrival. (love that horn)

Boats backup!

The boats are backed up now due to harbor ice and slow loading due to extreme cold.  Not unusual for an early onset of January weather.

This 12 day (2 min) time-lapse was taken over the past 12 days and depicts the wild beauty of a Lake Superior shipping port during December.
The bright light falling from the sky at night is the moon setting.

No place better to be than a quiet -20F morning on the shore of Lake Superior.

God's handiwork never ceases to amaze me.

Two Harbors - Christian Dalbec

Christian Dalbec - What a beautiful sunrise today. The air was -18.4°f and the lake was making ice on the surface. I was thinking about coffee so I made my rounds and got back inside next to the radiator.
