The Denis Sullivan came into port around 5:45 in the afternoon, the last of the 9 Tall Ships for the day. You see the Dutch flagged Merweborg on the right; she is anchored waiting for a dock to load grain.

The Coaster, above was the 8th of the first 8 Tall Ships to come under the Bridge; the Denis Sullivan was delayed by weather but should be here late this afternoon.

Above, the Roseway is raising her sails to out into the Lake. Well next see her when she comes in with the other 8 tall ships at 2 today. She was in to pick up media. I was invited but looked around and could see that none of my staff had come to work today; so I had to stay home and take care of my media, which actually, I am doing right now. Below, the Coaster II was already at the DECC (below). Both will go back out to the Lake to be a part of the Parade of Sail.

Your staff?

Your staff of one DID show up.

Hey Ken,

You have a wonderful staff! The greatest collection of folks ever assembled! I’ll be watching the work your “staff” will be doing at 2:00 today. Have fun out there and don’t get sunburned!

Your live cam was the only cam that stayed up and running without any problems through out the whole tall ship parade.
The LSMVC cam was hit and miss, so was the Allete cam.
So thank you from us that couldn’t make it up there in person!!! Job well done !!!

Hey Ken,

What Paul said is correct. I snuck a peek at other web cams too, but I just couldn’t wait that long for them to download. You had over 425 folks at one point looking over your shoulder! Great job! Those “cannon shots” came across loud and clear, too.
