I called the Grand Haven USCG Festival Office and they said the new Mackinaw, Alder, and Katmai Bay will be sailing into Grand Haven on Monday, July 31, around 1pm. I'm hoping to get down there and get some shots, but I'd thought I'd post it for anyone else who might be interested.

Coast Guard trivia:

The USCGC Katmai Bay (WTGB 101) made history in 1990. What was the historical event?

Sandra Stotz took command of the Katmai Bay in August of 1990, becoming the first female to command a USCGC On the Great Lakes.

Correct, and the first woman to command a USCG icebreaker.
