On the hook?

Yes many docks would require a fee if not working cargo, taking bunkers etc. Customs clearance would be reqiuired if from a foreign port (Canadian v/l from US port from Americian from Canadian port etc)

Would docking fees, customs, and crew control also be an issue?

not only that, there are ship security issues to consider.

Not easy to find a dock to tie up at in the rivers. In this particular instance, anchoring off Port Huron would not be problematic. The severe waves were in the northern parts of each of the lakes, since the wind was southerly.

During the last couple of day's storm, it seems like boats left the St. Clair River, i.e., Sam Laud (upbound, after Marysville Stone Dock unload) and H. Lee, downbound the lake a day or so ago, both avoided the river and both anchored in Lake Huron, just above Port Huron.
Wouldn't boats be better protected in the river tied up at a dock/ anchored in the protection of the river versus the open lake?
