"Securi-tay, securi-tay, securi-tay." Thank you Mackinaw for keeping the Twin Ports open. And for removing that pesky ice house that was blocking ship traffic.
This is the Mackinaw, and progress must go on, but her predecessor will forever be the "Big Mac" to many of us who live on/around the Great Lakes. I'm glad they made WAGB-83 a museum ship. That ship and her crews did decades of work keeping the various shipping channels open.
Wow! We get dredgers every 2 years or so that clear Brookings Harbor, and our beach is then replenished with sand. Really fun to watch too. But an ice breaker is something else again. Thanks for the video!
I am so surprised by this season's lake behavior-so much calm water as compared to previous years. No wonder the ice is forming so quickly. Paul, do you remember a year of calm lake behavior like this year?? Ten years ago??
The Mackinaw crew must not watch your videos. You don’t do the captains salute before you get in the canal. Bad form. Good horn though for a puddle jumper.
She's a beauty, Paul! I've never seen the lake water so calm. Excellent post, as usual. Cheers.
The USCGC Mackinaw knows how important it is to keep the Twin Ports open so Paul can record his awesome videos...⚓📣
Among other things, too. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Great Video I Enjoyed it😊
Another day of work for the Coast Guard. Thanks for the video, Paul. 👍🏼

The Mighty Mac has a buoy boom, looks like one, been there done that.
Does anyone know why Spar and Mackinaw swapped territory?
Spar can't handle the ice to the level the Mackinaw can - Spar will probably be back at the close of navigation.
