With not a moment to spare, the experts at McKeil Marine (tug boat co) managed to negotiate the sandbar and finally get her tucked in to offload stone from Marblehead.

Before she could be secured on the wall in Kingsville, Cuyahoga had to navigate the sandbar just south of the Harbour opening. In her many visits to this small port, her crew found ways to keep out of the sand using their available engine power and bow thrusters. But with none of that available post-fire, and the wind working against them, it took alot of coordination, repositioning, and I'm sure many choice words.
