TENACIOUS Inbound; JAMES A. HANNAH Possible

Ryba Marine's tug TENACIOUS is inbound Erie at this time bound for the shipyard. Dump scow WITTE 4003 is completely ballasted and appears ready to leave.

For the past hour the TENACIOUS has been in radio contact with the tug JAMES A. HANNAH. The HANNAH, westbound on the lake pushing the empty tank barge HANNAH 5101, is considering entering Erie harbor to secure at the Old Ore Dock to wait winds that are gusting up to 40 mph on Lake Erie tonight.

This is not the tug TENACIOUS's first visit to Erie. On November 22, 2005, the tug stopped in Erie to wait weather while on her delivery trip from Philadelphia to Cheboygan, Michigan. The tug was in port for six days on that occasion.
