Yesterday’s post covered some of the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan. Today it’s the Straits of Mackinac and part of the top of Lakes Huron.
Mesabi Miner headed for the mills at the south of Lake Michigan.
Great Republic passed between Mackinac Island and Round Island.
The following morning’s sunrise put golden colors on John J. Boland.
Hon. James L. Oberstar followed Boland to the Staits.
Algoma Compass followed shortly behind.
Here was a surprise . . . . Highland Eagle heading for some more core sampling in the Straits.
Off Alpena, we crossed paths with Baie Comeau and
Rt. Hon. Paul J. Martin.
More to come, provided that I find WIFI . . .

Do we know why core samples are being taken in the Straits? Preparatory to drilling? Mining?
