I was a little concerned that the Coast Guard might chase the Barker for noise polution, but they seemed to enjoy the Barker s music as much as all those watching the proceedings did. On this trip to Duluth, he is hosting the winners of a raffle just held. He is on board along with a friend Tom Allor at left, Bill's stepson and his wife. The Norweigian flagged Fossnes left Duluth this afternoon loaded with barley that will go into Budweiser beer once she arrives in England. At least not when the bridge they just rebuilt sounds more like a volkswagon.
Petitions are everywhere for people to sign.
Here the bridge is about to toot for the Algolake as the workers are grumbling about the horn, as well as getting bridged just when they were going home for the week. The Blue Heron departed Duluth this morning with some interesting cargo they will deposit on the lake floor, just off the Duluth shoreline. It is a camera called the Great Lakes Benthic Explorer and it will take underwater video, allowing us to view the fishes and whatever else lurks below. It looks more like it belongs on Mars, but perhaps the bottom of Lake Superior resembles Mars. We will shortly be able to take a look ourselves on the World Wide Web.
