All of my posts about the Longship have been totally positive and upbeat.

Running out of great At Sea videos today, I ran across this video taken at Bay City, Michigan. Apparently, the Dragon Ship was being charged $400 an hour for a "Pilot", while in the Great Lakes. $9000 a day. This was mandatory. The Longship was considered to be a "Commercial Cargo" Ship.
