Ice is taking it's toll in early Spring Shipping.
The CGC Alder towed in the broken CGC Morrow Bay after the Morrow Bay damaged it's rudder in heavy ice. The CGC Katmai Bay was also an escort.

News -- about the boat schedules

FYI,
In an effort to provide more complete boat schedules, I have removed the boat schedules listing from my site. Please use the link to duluthboats.com as it is a more thorough listing of the boat traffic.

Thanks,

After the Storm!

While some areas around the Northland received up to a foot of snow, the sunrise this morning was a sure reminder that Spring is here.
