Hello,
On 12-20-2011 the Edwin H. Gott pulled into our bay, Bark Bay, on the south shore of Lake Superior and anchored and stayed overnight because there were gale warnings over by Silver Bay. What a treat that was. That night all the lights were on on the ship. It was gorgeous! What a treat!
Thank you!
