Samuel de Champlain/Innovation were inbound on the Saginaw River early Sunday afternoon, on what was an absolutely miserable day with a cold rain, fog, and strong wind out of the NNE. Conditions prevented my from flying the drone, but I was able to capture some photos as the pair emerged from the fog and made the dock at Holcim Cement in Essexville to unload.
As of Sunday evening, as I post this, winds are blowing out of the NNE sustained at 29 kts, with a gust of 42 kts. The water level on the Saginaw River has climbed from 1.9 inches above low water datum to 22.5 inches above LWD. All of the ice that was here 5 days ago when G.L. Ostrander/Integrity came in is now gone and there were whitecaps on the river.
