Oshawa Harbour — HELENA G, (OCEAN) LAPRAIRIE, OCEAN GOLF

Oshawa Harbour — HELENA G, (OCEAN) LAPRAIRIE, OCEAN GOLF

It was a fun day, and I mean that in the most sarcastic way.

The Oshawa Bylaw troll who was down at the water yesterday on his golf cart was apparently given the day off. Which made the day somewhat more agreeable. But I was still always wondering if he would appear out of the bushes with his little beepity beepity golf cart horn to chastise me for standing on the the wrong side of the fence.

They even had some new fences. True story.

I tried to stay on the right side of the law for today’s photos, but alas… a group of tradesmen opened the gate to do some welding down on the pier, so I assumed they were city employees allowing us access to the pier. A lot of people did.

HELENA G arrived today. (OCEAN) LAPRAIRIE and OCEAN GOLF assisted. Enjoy the photos. There are a few artsy ones today. And one or two of my senior photography assistant Deacon who was none too happy to be laying in the hot sun while I took pictures of “stupid boats” as his facial expressions called them.

Big Changes… If You’re On Desktop Or A Large Mobile Screen

Look over there. If you’re on a desktop computer or a larger mobile screen like a tablet.

You will notice that the arrivals list is now on the front page. I think this is a lot easier for a lot of people. It even shows you a little flag to tell what county the vessel is flagged in.

Where is the schedule page if I am on a mobile device and the sidebar doesn’t show?

Glad you asked. Scroll to the bottom of the webpage. You will notice that all the footer crap that used to be down there is gone. But in it’s place is the stuff that people with larger screens see on the sidebar.

If you are on a mobile device and want to get there faster… you can click “Pages” in the menu and pick Oshawa Ship Arrivals. Or. You can bookmark https://ericvice.com#schedule

Yes that’s not a typo. The # is supposed to be there. Trust me.

Oshawa Harbour — LAKE ERIE

No. That wasn’t a typo. It was the ship name. I was shocked too. That’s got to be confusing as hell. I can just imagine the confusion on the radio.

Griffon: This is Canadian Coast Guard Vessel Griffon hailing Lake Erie on Channel 16…

NACC Quebec: You’re a long way from Lake Erie. They won’t hear you.

Griffon: I’m not hailing Lake Erie, I’m hailing LAKE ERIE.

NACC Quebec: Then why don’t you GO to Lake Erie where they will hear you, instead of hanging around Prescott?

Griffon: Forget it. I’m going for Tim Hortons.

Enough comedy. Here is the photo. ISABELLE G and FEDERAL MARGAREE are scheduled to arrive in the next couple of days.
