This morning the ROGER BLOUGH attempted to enter Erie harbor at 0600, and became stuck near buoys 1 and 2. The vessel was pushed by the ice and wind to the north of the red buoys before the BLOUGH finally slid off the ice and dropped anchor.
The BLOUGH and PRESQUE ISLE both are now at anchor right off of Erie harbor awaiting the Canadian Coast Guard ship GRIFFON, which departed its base in Amherstburg, Ontario this morning bound for Erie to break the harbor open. The GRIFFON was due at Southeast Shoal at 1300 and should arrive in Erie sometime late tonight to assist the two vessels.
Photos will follow later today.
