BUFFALO,NEW YORK [USBUF]-Brian Wroblewski
The 27th was an exciting day to be around the lake front. That morning, the US ARMY 3-124 Assault Helicopter Battalion sent two UH-60 Blackhawks from the Albany area to do some shallow water helocast training operations off Hamburg. They used the town beach to drop off and pick up troops to simulate a combat infiltration and exfiltration. While that was all happening, a trio of US Air Force T-38 fighters passed overhead on their way out from Niagara Falls. Later on that afternoon, shipping activity took over all the action with three boats on the move. The EIDER arrived from the Port Colborne anchorage and then dropped her hooks off the Safe Water Beacon at 5PM. Right behind her was the cement carrier SUNNANVIK, headed in for Holcim. She came in past the EIDER and went up the Buffalo River without assistance at 5:30. Around that same time, the tugs OKLAHOMA and VERMONT headed down to Lackawanna to assist the TORRENT out from Sucros Sourcing. They had her clear of the piers by 6:00 and then switched over to help the EIDER in for the same dock with more sugar. This was the first time in a long time that there were three salties in Buffalo all at once.

Once Torrent cleared and departed for Thunder Bay, Eider weighed anchor and motored to Sucro Sourcing to unload sugar.
