Rough going on Lake Huron today

The handling characteristics of every vessel is posted in the pilot house.

Could also be that the Pilot decided to anchor, not knowing the ship's capabilities?

I have seen both for the last 37 years;thanks

Capt - There is a huge difference between the Lakes and Oceans, namely how the seas run. On the ocean, 18-20 foot waves might be a hundred yards or more apart, while on the Lakes they might be 1/4 that distance.

If the polish vessel cannot face a gale on lake Huron I wonder what is happening in a storm on the ocean.These ships are built to face that kind of weather and worst,who says it has to be confortable.

See the news page, they have been updating the anchorages all day.

I would not want to be on that Polsteam ship, given how high she is riding, and the weather that is hitting the lakes.

Looks like ships are anchored all over because of the weather. Looks like a few near Port Huron. Looks like more above Soo, between Soo & Whitefish. Then maybe at Duluth too. Am I seeing that right?

Spotted the Risley navigating through high winds and rain this afternoon as well as a foreign visitor as well..
