VII in Grand Portage and the Office is open

Post by **johnhens** » Tue May 13, 2014 9:08 am

Capt. Don was finally able to get the VII to GP after the ice blew out of Duluth. I called this AM (GP)to make reservations and they are up and running.

Have a great trip Kevin, looking forward to insight on the Island.

Will do. We're hoping to play on the Minong but we're very flexible. We'll go where we can.

Leaving for the Minong on Saturday.......the only question I have is will Washington Harbor be accessible? Not that it matters much......anywhere on the island will work.

Satellite image from yesterday--looks like Washington Harbor has opened up, but it's a little hard to tell for sure:

But as you said, anywhere works

Looks good! Thanks Ingo.

I am guessing there will be more info about access to Windigo after todays trip.

If the VII had a live cam I would have gotten some popcorn and taken the day off!

Hopefully Kevin is on the foredeck filming for our benefit!!!

Love it! I would have been "working" watching it too

I'm all for the "live cam". What do you think Don?? WE need a live feed of course too. I know you have nothing else to do

From GP FB page:

UPDATE: The Voyageur II completed this spring's first circumnavigation of the island yesterday. We were able to make all scheduled stops on our regular route, and we expect all upcoming trips will run as scheduled with the bays being iced over no longer a concern. Looking forward to a great season!
