Marquette, MI – Oggdo Bogdo
The Clyde S. VanEnkevort/Erie Trader finished unloading stone at 19:45, then went out to Lake Superior for an hour or two (likely to clean out the holds) before returning to load ore at 21:23. Additionally, the USEPA’s Lake Guardian returned to Marquette after traveling all around Lake Superior over the past week, conducting tests of some nature.
Grand Haven, MI – Oggdo Bogdo
For the second time in just 3 days, the Manitowoc unloaded aggregate (slag) from Indiana Harbor. The river class ship was in at 03:24 and out by 09:44, barely giving locals a chance to observe her. Now, as she heads off to Indiana Harbor once again, we wait with bated breath to see if a three-peat is in the cards.

Interlake’s classic gem Kaye E. Barker stopped by for another drop off of stone from Port Inland, a trip she makes once or twice a month. She arrived at 03:33 and left early afternoon at 12:51. She is headed back up to Port Inland. Perhaps she will be back before we know it.
