BUFFALO, NEW YORK-Brian Wroblewski
DEFIANCE – ASHTABULA came back for CSI on the 26th. They arrived around 4PM and went up to the sand wharf unassisted.
The VERMONT came down to tow out the DEFIANCE around 12:15AM on the 27th. They weren’t quite ready so the tug waited at the old West Shore wharf until things were all set. After a short delay, the VERMONT was made up for a stern first tow and they headed out for the lake. After dropping the tow line, the DEFIANCE-ASHTABULA winded in the Outer Harbor and departed while the VERMONT went back up to the GLT dock. About two hours later she headed back out again, this time departing Buffalo light tug bound for Erie, PA.
