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:

CL Hanse Gate (saltie), eastbound to Hamilton
Defiance/Ashtabula, westbound to Brevort to load sand
