Comments from Jeffery The Gull
Hi folks, I'm Jeffery the gull and I'll be your guide today. What you see here is a fleet of boats gathering for an afternoon cruise.
I love when these boats go out because if I fly over them and act cute, the people will throw me some of their food, and it ain' just popcorn like those cheap people over at the canal.
Well, gotta spruce up a bit and look my best.
Have a good visit to the harborcams. See ya around.
Lightning Overhead
Lightning storms rolled through the region this morning at 2:30. While the dog hid under the bed, I snapped a few photos before the rain started.

Morning Glory - American Century 06/20/2018
I never get tired of sunrises over Lake Superior. This morning was particularly beautiful. I am so blessed to be able to share the images from the cameras and so thankful for all who support this effort.
I am humbled and hope to see more mornings like this, God willing!

Question: What's with the red/brown water?
Answer: After heavy rains like the record downfalls of the past weekend, red clay gets washed into the harbors, especially from the Nemadji River.
The clay eventually settles after a few weeks and the water clears up.

American Spirit Grounding - A closer look
A view from a few different angles gives you an interesting perspective on the size of the American Spirit.
American Spirit Grounding 06/17/2018
The American Spirit went aground as it made it's way to the Aerial Lift Bridge.
Heavy rains over the past few days have made currents in the canal very treacherous. The actual cause is unknown at this time.
There was no apparent damage and she did not actually hit the wall.
Hopefully, the tugs can work here free from the muck soon.

Ma Claws!
On my way out to feed the chickens this morning, a large snapping turtle was on the gravel driveway laying its eggs.
With a face only a mother could love, I let her go about her business and won't be using the driveway for a few weeks.

Thanks for all who donated, this will be a great addition to our harbor views.

Presque Isle 060618 normal speed
While the previous "timelapse" video of this event was fairly dramatic, this "normal" speed video depicts a much slower event unfold and a slow calculated maneuver.

The panorama cams cost more than the standard but give more options.
My hope is to have this cam installed by the July 4th fireworks.
Thank You!
