Didn't check Lake Michigan weather, but I'll guess there is a strong NNE wind blowing. Both boats are due in Gary and it's impossible to get into Gary with the wind blowing from that direction. When I was on the Clarke way back when, we'd cruise back and forth on the Michigan side of the Lake waiting for the winds to change or die down so we could get into Gary. I don't know how it is with a self-unloader, but we'd have to stop unloading under the huletts because you'd get storm surges that would run the length of the slip.
