Adventure Log

You may wonder – does snow affect ships on the lakes?  The answer might surprise you!  When we encounter snow and ice we simply throw a few shovels of sand under the propeller and we move right along.  (kidding)  The real answer is – no.  At this point in the season there isn’t any ice on the lake, but there is snow and wind.  The snow is not an issue, but the wind can be problematic.  Yesterday we sat at anchor for over 24 hours because the wind and waves interfered with our ability to get past the break wall and into the dock.  Once we make it to the dock – no problem.  Below is a photo of us loading ore in Two Harbors during a good dose of snow.
