Very few ships passed through the St. Mary's River today due to the storm and high winds.

Straits of Mackinac Passages-October 31

Currently, there is a storm moving over the upper Great Lakes. Many ships are anchored on the Straits of Mackinac area (Port Inland to Mackinac Island). Therefore, only a couple of ships have passed through the Straits today, but I will list all the ships that are anchored in the area.

Joseph H Thompson Jr./Joseph H Thompson, CSL Assiniboine, and Stewart J Cort are all anchored near Port Inland
Edwin H Gott, American Spirit, and Undaunted/Pere Marquette 41 are anchored near St. Ignace
Nickelena, Spartan, Solina, and Catherine Desgagnes are anchored near Mackinac Island
Lee A Tregurtha and G.L Ostrander/Integrity are anchored near Bois Blanc Island


That's all the ships anchored in the Straits area. They should be moving again by tomorrow. Here are the two ships that passed today:

I'm Back

Hello everyone,

I am very sorry I have been gone for so long. I have been VERY busy. But I'm back today to let you know I will only be able to report on passages of the St. Mary's River and Straits of Mackinac, as well as arrivals of Upper Peninsula ports. I'm sorry that I can't do Port Huron, Lake Michigan, and lower Lakes ports anymore. I simply don't have the time. But I'll make do with what I can do and maybe If I have a little more extra time in the future, I'll be able to go back to my first routine of reporting from every Michigan port on the Great Lakes. I hope you understand and continue to visit my blog.

Thank you,
Jake Hill
