Not sure about the ice in the straits, I haven't been talking to my father or father in law who are both working on her.

St. Barbe has too small of a harbor for the bond, thats why they are using Corner Brook.

The Caribou is at the lay-up dock right now. The Blue Puttees is at the Alternate dock. I haven't heard if there are plans to move the Caribou.

Totally agree with you Gulfspan. We can see what she can handle just this past week. The Smallwood out operating and where was the VISION, tied up at the dock. She can handle the seas alright, what a joke. I also agree she should go back where she came from

Merry Christmas

You won't bore me, the Caribou and the Smallwood are / were the workhorses of the fleet and no ship they get will do what they did.
