  • Boat Friends,
    Experience the wild fury of nature in Duluth, Minnesota, as I captured the incredible moments on 3/26/2024 of the giant winter storm, dumping over 14 inches of snow in just 24 hours. This isn’t your average snowfall; it’s a spectacle of nature’s power, with the Lake Superior shoreline transformed into a tumultuous sea of waves crashing against the Aerial Lift Bridge. The star of the video is the mighty Edwin H. Gott, a 1004-foot ship, daring to depart amidst blinding snow and fierce winds. This awesome 4K footage showcases the ship almost disappearing into the whiteout, a testament to the severe weather conditions and the ship’s bold journey through the harbor.
    Why just hear about extreme weather when you can see it in action? From the sideways snow that blurs the line between sky and water to the waves that defy the frozen landscape, this video is a thrilling adventure into the heart of a blizzard’s beauty and chaos. Perfect for weather enthusiasts, maritime fans, and thrill-seekers alike, the video offers a unique glimpse into the resilience required to navigate the great lakes during a snowstorm. Hit the subscribe button and join the other Boat Friends on this unforgettable visual journey, where each frame tells a story of courage, nature’s unpredictable power, and the mesmerizing beauty of winter in Duluth.

      The snow should be tapering off here in Duluth very soon, I’m guessing it’s going to end up being around 15 or 16 inches for areas of Duluth. I know earlier today they were saying West Duluth was at 14 inches. So a good amount of snow came our way and I was able to record the ship in it as well today.

    Hey there Mike and all the Boat Friends. Right when you think Winter is over. Well it's not!
    You forgot to point out the 13 degree wind chill. That'll bite right to one's core.
    I noticed the Gott was favoring the north side (left as facing Lake Superior) of the canal. No doubt to help offset the stiff north cross wind. So often we see ships leave in beautiful Chamber of Commerce weather. Not on this day. The Captain and crew did a marvelous job dealing with strong winds with restricted visibilty.
    Hum, we don't yet know where she is heading. Her AIS is still showing Two Harbors. But as you know, the Gott loaded at CN in Duluth, and is miles past Two Harbors. Oh well. She is going somewhere with that load of taconite.
    The Boat Friends Snowman was certainly enjoying this blustery "Winter" day. Thanks for letting him tag along.
    Excellent video Mike. Thanks for braving the elements.

    • @vibewithmike
      @vibewithmike  Před 2 měsíci +1

    This is superior showing her true persona. Its nice to see the water calm as a mill pond with blue skies and soft breezes but not a true representation of the majesty and power of this ocean like body of water. Fair winds are a deception luring you farther out on the lake but superior can change in an instant bcoming the angry, frenzied gale that is capable of devouring massive ships many times never to be seen again. The many moods of Lake Superior. Bless those that courageously embark on their journeys.

    Enjoyed watching the Gott! I haven't seen her since I did some off-season work on her back in the mid 90's. It was in Milwaukee and she was having an engine rebuilt. Most of that season I was doing work on the Roger Blau which the Gott was tied up next to at the pier. When it came time to run the engine in they sucked the hausers in tight and churned up the harbor basin for a while. The power of those engines was something to see. I really enjoyed working on those ships, they are magnificent.
