How to estimate your own arrival times!
While I try to send out Harbor Watch Alerts, I am often not able to do so. Alternatively, you can estimate your own arrival times by "Right Clicking" on the desired boat on the AIS map at the bottom of this page and then clicking on the desired arrival point.
It might take a bit of practice, but, that gives a really good estimate for you.

Hot Air Balloons
Hot air balloons are incredible machines that capture a tremendous amount of energy into one big bubble.
The balloons use propane to heat the air over 200 degrees before blowing it into the balloon. With a capacity of 7-10 million btu's, the burners are 30-40 times the capacity of a typical home furnace.
These images from last weekends balloon festival show the visible light image alongside an image taken with a thermal camera.
note: the green-yellow blobs below the balloons are people.

1000 Ft Paul R Tregurtha grounding
While there is speculation why the 1000 ft Paul R Tregurtha headed off course and went aground in front of Bayfront Park in Duluth this afternoon, there will be a full investigation over the next weeks.
The Tregurtha was pulled free by tugs after several hours sitting in the muck.
In the following video, you can see the Tregurtha start to make it's final turn towards the bridge, but then you hear the emergency horn prior to seeing the boat stop.
