Alpena and Olive L. Moore - Menominee both arrived on the Saginaw River Tuesday morning. The Moore/Menominee initially attempted entering the Bay Aggregates Slip stern first, but were not able to make that work. They then repositioned and attempted to enter bow first, eventually making it into the slip. Alpena moved upriver on the dock at Lafarge to give the Moore/Menominee more room to make the swing.
