Yep, ours is too. Ice, crappy docks and bad ship handling all play a factor.

Well we blew out the bow thruster. Sucked something into to it and destroyed the blades and guard. Out of balance ( hammering) and kicking the breakers out. Off to the pipeline dock at superior for repairs. Should make for some interesting times over the next few days. Got 13 hours on the clock today and counting. Vacation can't get here soon enough!

Nope, gonna snatch it out and send us to load for another trip. Was hoping for a 2-3 day port stay.

Deer hunting at the repair dock. Nice doe.

This was in the thruster tube, going back and forth. It's a belly band ( 1 of 2) for the thruster. Normally round, now looks like saltwater taffy. So hopefully it's now fixed. They keep bolting them in, and they keep falling off, duh.

 

[War-Buff]

That should buff out

Loaded and headed to Calumet. Iron ore!
