Swim the Bay Completed Successfully

Today's swim across Presque Isle Bay, celebrating how clean the bay's watter has become (I doubt anyone would drink it, though) was completed successfully at around 1100 hours. At that time, Lakeshore Towing's tug FLATTOP removed the buoys lining the course and returned them to Presque Isle State Park. Lakeshore Towing's tug DON HENRY and towboats TITAN and ENDURANCE had patrolled the course during the two-hour long swim, working with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Fish and Boat Commission to keep boaters from straying into the safety zone established for the swim.
