I hope the fundraiser helps. According to their blog post of July 11,
the Viking ship was not continuing its Great Lakes journey and was
returning to the Atlantic. They weren't objecting to the amount of the
$400/hour pilot fee, but that they were told at the outset of their trip
that there wouldn't be a fee. I was looking forward to its visit to
Green Bay.

Thanks for the comments Bob, Mike, Ken…
I just posted the link to a local f-book page, clicked to check the link, and
realized that I had the image display size set at default, fairly small. I just
changed that to allow for larger views…
Ken, I had heard that there was an issue with fees, both for the Viking ship
and also the Spanish galleon, but I hadn’t realized it was about pilots. One of
the music events in Bay City was redesigned as a fund raiser for the two ships
to help them with what was apparently an unanticipated cost.

Meg and I spent much of yesterday at the local stop of the triennial Tall Ships
Challenge. I am not sure what the Challenge involves, but for us it was a day
amidst vast throngs gawking at sloops and schooners and one galleon and one
Norwegian Viking longboat. A long line to get into the venue, even longer lines
to get aboard any of the vessels so we passed on that. ’Twas a good day.
For others near the Great Lakes, note that they will be stopping also in
Chicago, Green Bay, and a few other places.
