Put in the water yesterday.

IMO the single best resource for boaters on the south end outside of wave forecasts, and arguably even better depending on what you are looking for

Excellent - perfect timing. There is also a link to it on this site if you go to Weather->Water Temps Buoys and scroll to down you will see a link to both MI City and Cook.

Not that important now, but is the temp string going in later?

I hope so... I reached out to the buoy folks to ask about it. Pretty crucial information that it provides!

IISG has been dealing with some sort of technical issue. The thermistors are out there, but they have been struggling to get the data displayed. It is now live on their website (iiseagrant.org/buoy/) , but not on the GLOS site that I prefer to use glbuoys.glos.us/45170

It sounds like they are hoping to add thermistors to the Willamette buoy as well

Looks like the buoy is having issues. It hasn't updated info for a week now.

Looks current on both the IISG site and the Great Lakes Buoys page.

Are you referring to the outdated pictures from the Michigan City lighthouse on the IISG page? On the NOAA page for MC, it shows a Webcam is down" message.
