PI Boat Tours offers update on Lady Kate absence
We have an update on Lady Kate. The boat that provides sightseeing tours has not been moored at Perry Monument, where it usually boards passengers.
And a notice on the Presque Isle Boat Tours website informs visitors that the season's opening has been delayed.

That's because it now sits in amphitheater park. Thursday, Presque Isle Boat Tours President Tim Sedney explained why.
He said the Lady Kate is getting needed work done on the drive shaft and plates. The work follows a five-year hull inspection by the Coast Guard.

'We started that process over the winter. But of course, Mother Nature hasn't been on our side. So it's just delayed on and delayed on and delayed us. Coast Guard comes in and they inspect the work as it's being done. And hopefully here this coming up week, we should be launching,' Sedney told us.
Sedney said the Coast Guard will do one more inspection when the boat goes in the water. Once that's done, they'll be back in business.
