The tug Joyce L. Van Enkevort and barge Great Lakes Trader called on the Saginaw River Friday evening for their first visit of 2009. They unloaded overnight at the Bay City Wirt dock, then, Saturday morning, backed from the dock, out of the river, and out to Light 12 in the bay to turn and head for the lake. The pair passed the Water J. McCarthy, Jr. who was at the Consumers Energy dock in Essexville. The McCarthy had arrived Saturday morning and was unloading coal.
