On the Boreal.org home page, the Aurora Borealis forecast from NOAA returns. The Marine Watch Ship Spotter goes on hiatus until the Great Lake shipping season returns.  

The forecast is for a return of Great Lakes shipping season sometime between mid-March and early April depending on ice conditions.  The Soo Locks are officially scheduled to open on March 25, 2018.  Ship Spotter will return with the ships themselves.
