Last I heard prop seal trouble on the Jackson . Was on the steel face dock and now it’s been put on the drydock .
Pathfinder I assume has bow thruster issues. Ballasted heavy on the tug and the bow of the pathfinder high and dry out of the water.

Herbert C Jackson is in Sturgeon Bay for some type of repairs to her stern/propeller/engine/propulsion area (my best guess). She has been ballasted down in the bow with her prop out of the water, and last week they got underway to do sea trials in Green Bay and then came back to the dock.

Not 100% sure but, I think Mn Bob mentioned in a post concerning the Anderson’s load from Marquette, that he thought the Jackson may be in Sturgeon Bay for some sort of repairs? Thought he said too, it’s been there for a while now! Didn’t even know myself that the Herbie or the Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder were both at Sturgeon Bay. As mentioned in a few of my earlier postings, I don’t go to the News Page or read the Port Reports sections as much as I used to due to health related issues now being first above all else! Thanks though for your contributions and your reporting. Very much appreciated. Stay Safe and Be Cool too.

I see that the Jackson is in sturgeon bay, and for that matter so is Dorthy Ann/Pathfinder. Any ideas why? If they are short a couple boats that would explain how the Anderson ended up with a Marquette load.
