Saginaw River Passage - May 4th

The Herbert C. Jackson finally was able to enter the Saginaw River on Sunday, but was unable to enter the slip at Bay Aggregates where she was to unload, due to the strong river currents that were still present. She tied up for the night at the Essroc dock in Essexville. On Monday, the Jackson sat through the day at Essroc and around 8pm, with the assistance of the tug Gregory J. Busch, attempted to cross the river and make the turn into the Bay Aggregates dock once again. After an hour of trying, the pair were still battling the current trying to make the slip.
