The Spirit of Ontario got a call from the Seaway saying their AIS was not working. They did reboot it but were early at Bradford check-in. The ships also creates quite a wash. Not at full speed the wash came right up on lawns at Mariatown west of Morrisburg. They got a call from the Seaway about excessive wash. There was quite a group at Iroquois and they blew a salute to the crowd. Quite a vessel! They also turned so the pilot could be boarded from the starboard side in Cape Vincent. I also heard mention of a clutch being out. They said they were going to leave the shipping lanes to do manouvers until 0830 when they were due at Rochester piers. I have some photos on the news site. Ron Walsh
