Buffalo, NY – Brian Wroblewski
The HOLLYHOCK was working aids to navigation off Buffalo on the 13th. They spent most of the day changing out the Summer for Winter markers before departing the area that evening.

The CALUMET arrived from Brevort with a split load of sand for the Gateway Metroport West Dock on the morning of the 14th around 5:30AM. She winded out in the lake off the South Entrance, backed in for the Lackawanna Canal, and docked at the North end of pier. They only unloaded there for about two hours before dropping lines and heading straight up the Outer Harbor for the Buffalo River. She went up to CSI by herself to finish off the rest of the partial cargo around 9AM.
