Ron Johnson (rear) helps out as students at this year's River Quest prepare to load ballast water into the Port Authority's sea-thru ore boat.
 The Coast Guard taught the 6th graders who attended River Quest about oil spills on the Lake. They even cleaned up a few in the demo.
Kids had a chance to take a break on the top of the Vista Star (below and right)

We took some time out loading our boat with taconite to look out the window at some real taconite loading at the DM & IR Dock in West Duluth.

Lisa Marciniak points out the ballast tanks on the M/V Seaway Port Authority while Becky McMillan gets ready to point out Duluth on the Great Lakes map.
