Dutch Runner presently entering Cleveland Harbor. Being a GLFS H2O vessel, she may load containers on deck? Just a thought. This was the intentions for this vessel in the beginning, befor being sent to Halifax to run between Halifax, St Pierre et Miquelon, and Newfoundland.

Dutch Runner presently on Lake Erie destination Cleveland, she left Owen Sound the 21st its 0840 took her less than 19 hours, Dutch Runner is 61.9 naut miles from her present destination.

I meant to post that yesterday, Dutch Runner currently downbound off Harbor Beach with a load of wheat. She departed on the 20th at 1400 from Owen Sound and was downbound at Harbor Beach at 1845 hours on the 21st, 28 hours later.

Seems like a long time to get to Port Huron from Owen Sound, It takes a vessel from Detour to Port Huron (212miles) 18 hours at 11.8 knots, it should not take the Dutch Runner 24 hours to get to Port Huron, unless she going mighty slow, I calculate 170 n miles from Owen Sound to Port Huron.
