[anecdotally, I have experienced this scuba diving in a drysuit in WA and BC, especially in freshwater, so it is wonderful to see some background]

“I remembered to try a panorama at Point Betsie Lighthouse during last night's aurora substorm. That moon was gorgeous on the water, but you can really see the stars and aurora taper off on that side of the image!” - Jenn Boss Mainka
One of the 300m ships operating on the Great Lskes is about to pass the live ship cam at Marine City on the St. Clair River.
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is a lifeline for Michigan's waterways. This federal funding is crucial for maintaining the health of the Great Lakes, which in turn supports the environmental, economic, and social well-being of Michigan. #GreatLakes #CleanWater #FederalFunding #Michigan

"The massive freighters that ply the Great Lakes are back at work following the early reopening of the Soo Locks for the 2025-26 season, and they're doing it all under the watchful eyes of webcams that track them from Minnesota to New York."

It's a real good idea to leave states like #Texas and move to the greatest water resources in the nation: the #GreatLakes
Trump's tariffs targeting geriatric shipping vessels of Chinese origin will fail to punish China, as intended. Tariffs will, however, raise prices for consumers in both Canada and the US. “It's devastating for the whole integrated North American supply chain. That's the point we made when we were (recently) in Washington,” said Chamber of Marine Commerce president and chief executive Bruce Burrows. #greatlakes #canada #us #trump #tariffs #economy https://www.wellandtribune.ca/business/niagara-region/american-proposal-could-devastate-canadian-shipping-industry-says-union-and-marine-chamber/article_82d5bf7e-89e8-54c5-9961-9b5d550cc165.html
Not nearly as much ice accumulation this time around here in Kitchener-Waterloo / Guelph area compared to cottage country and eastern #Ontario. It is pretty, and not to the extent which brought down tree branches last year, but nobody should be out on the roads unless they absolutely must.

For those interested in the ships that ply the Great Lakes, you can visit https://boatnerd.com/ for current and historical information and photos.
I heard the news on TV and read the newspapers when it happened.
Pictures I took myself of the ruined lifeboat (found empty) on display at the Valley Camp Museum in Sault Ste Marie, the actual ship's bell from the Fitzgerald at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point.
The Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle here in Detroit has preserved the wheelhouse of the William Clay Ford which (with the Arthur Anderson) was sent out to look for the Fitzgerald while it was still storming. Feels a bit weird to stand in it and think about that night.
I've also attended a memorial service for the Fitz at Old Mariners Church in Detroit and read a couple of books on the subject. Oh yeah, I have the original Gordon Lightfoot album (on vinyl, no less) that contained the song.
