American Spirit Grounding - A closer look
A view from a few different angles gives you an interesting perspective on the size of the American Spirit.
American Spirit Grounding 06/17/2018
The American Spirit went aground as it made it's way to the Aerial Lift Bridge.
Heavy rains over the past few days have made currents in the canal very treacherous. The actual cause is unknown at this time.
There was no apparent damage and she did not actually hit the wall.
Hopefully, the tugs can work here free from the muck soon.

Ma Claws!
On my way out to feed the chickens this morning, a large snapping turtle was on the gravel driveway laying its eggs.
With a face only a mother could love, I let her go about her business and won't be using the driveway for a few weeks.

Internet service to Canal Park area slow
Due to a large number of people in town for Grandma's Marathon, internet service to Canalcam and Bridgecam may bog down due to high traffic on the main service provider system. Speeds should return to normal by Monday.

American Victory departing Superior this Sunday Morning
The American Victory will be towed out the Superior Entry on Sunday Morning ending a chapter in Great Lakes History.
The Duluth News Tribune did a nice story on the boat that you can read here.
New Hillside Cam in service
The new Hillside Cam is in service. I will be making tweaks in the days ahead. Right now it is set to scan the harbor every 15 min. I will be trying out different scan rates and focus points once the storms are over in a few days.
Thanks for all who donated, this will be a great addition to our harbor views.
