Port Reports – October 16, 2022

Please send port reports to news@boatnerd.net.

Duluth, MN – Superior, WI – Joshua Hebeisen

Marquette, MI – Oggdo Bogdo
The American Courage departed at 07:24 for Cleveland. Unfortunately, this could be the last time she comes up to Superior for a year or longer. She’s more likely to stay on Lake Erie.

Muskegon, MI – Oggdo Bogdo
The rare visit of the John G. Munson concluded on Saturday with a 12:25 departure. She and her black and gray stripes will be headed to Stoneport next. Previous years have featured two or more Muskegon visits for the Munson, so here’s hoping for another in the near future. Another tall-forward-decked laker, the Kaye E. Barker will likely be next up.

Buffalo, NY – Brian Wroblewski
The Barker was all done at 3:30AM on the 12th and backed out for the lake, next stop, Cleveland.

The residents of the Sturgeon Point, NY area got a surprise on October 15th. The 430-foot cruise ship LE BELLOT dropped anchor off shore just East of the point to wait out some bad weather that morning. Then, during the afternoon the 656-foot salt water ship FEDERAL ASAHI arrived from Toledo and began doing “weather patterns” off shore while waiting to enter the Welland canal.
