Just curious, since Algoma Niagara is currently enroute to Milwaukee from Goderich with salt, why is she heading
eastbound off the southeast tip of Bois Blanc Island at 10+ knots? Weather, ice or damage? Again, just curious.
After closer analysis, I believe I discovered the answer to my question. Ice. Probably an impenetrable ice field between Bois Banc Island and the shore line of the lower peninsula, causing Intrepid to go around the blockage and use the stretch between Bois Blanc and Mackinac Islands, instead.
