and maybe that required them to hole-up somewhere that they cannot recharge enough for cell phone use (only emergency contact). I think if there were something 'negative' to report the company would have notified you, or one of your other family members. Hang in there, Mom.

they are likely riding out the storm somewhere..
had this happen one time in the summer actually..
they got caught in high winds and had to go into an inlet and stay there for a few days
even the company how no contact.
the tug needs to be near a tower as well
my son puts his phone on so he does not get roaming charges in the US
so my guess is that he is delayed in Detroit
not sure if they are having a big snow storm there or not..

I will call Monday and then I know for sure what is going on
could be something simple and likely is
I am just a bit worried..can you tell..
pretty wound up...to say the least..

to the company..Then you can have some peace of mind:)

much bully love~Christine, Dupree, Marley and Savannah

I'm sure that all is well and they're just fine riding out the weather, but of course it's in our nature to want a phone call here and there.

I am a far better person because of my boys
all adults now..but still love them dearly
I have a great relationship with all my sons
have always had that..through the years..
I loved being a MOM..and still do..enjoy being a MOM
thanks for your compliment

the most challenging job in the world. Your son is fortunate to have a great mom!

I am fine if they call but NO contact..I do not handle that well at all..
and if my other sons are concerned..good reason to call Monday and find out..what is up..
I bet they are stuck in an inlet though
they were on the way from Thunderbay too Detroit and that is a few days of sailing to get from a to b. not sure if Detroit got any major dumping of snow but we sure did here and he would have had to come up Lake Huron along the way back to Thunderbay or Sault St Marie
terrible weather for sailing although the good thing is that he is on a ice braker..tugs do that

You don't stop being a mom when they become adults.

can not hurt to at least find out something..
the company director I have talked to before for other things so maybe I can call the person that I know..so I do not feel just like a worried MOMMY that I am..lol

MONDAY am.
and thanks for the support
you would think the tug company would have called for sure..but NOTHING.
the other thing is possibly my sons cell phone is not working but he just got a new one..so that does not make sense.
will call though

what would it hurt?

In the meantime, hugs and prayers.

I would give them a call, I would have already called, lol. I think the company should have contacted a family member and let them know the ship would be getting in later than expected.

it is long enough
and stewing about it is only making me worse.
will call
thanks for the support
I need all I can get here..
scared mostly

It's almost January 10, so that is reason enough. Good luck.

if all else fails and do not hear something by Sunday..tomorrow
will call first thing on Monday Morning..
this is driving me nuts to be honest
so unlike him
with the snow storms out there on the water and all the rough water these days and flash freezes I am worried..
will likely call or have someone call by Monday
it is would be embarrassing if all it was ..was his cell phone is not working
but i can explain my concern to the company he works for..I am sure they would understand and maybe not even tell him I called..if I am lucky.

I don't understand that. A sudden uncharacteristic cessation of all contact PLUS he's is overdue is certainly something to worry about. It would be far more unusual to NOT have anyone to worry about it. I'd call the company for sure.

that makes better sense then a worried MOM..
they might just get a upfront answer about it too..
we are all concerned that is the big thing..
maybe one of the other sons can give them a fast ring and see what they say

my other son was home from Out West for Christmas for 3 weeks..
and my other son was there too at supper and the decision was that
nobody really wants to embarass on son if nothing did indeed not happen..

we all great along great at the house here..
and everyone kinda looks out for the others
but this is really NOT Bryan behaviour to not call at all..

I am thinking that he caught in some snow storm somewhere..and just in a inlet.

I called the one time when they happened..before. they could not even reach the tug..the company itself..they were up in Northern Ontario and caught in bad weather and in an inlet and no type of contact could be made. I was worse that time knowing the company could not even contact them ...YIKES sometimes it is worse not knowing then knowing..

I am over reacting..LOL.
I am just kinda beside myself on this one..

I totally agree with having one of your other sons call. If you call, you are liable to get some guy at the shipping company roll his eyes and not take your concern seriously (just think you are an over-reacting mother). However, if they get a call from a man who says his brother has not called home- or come home- and has been unreachable... they might take that seriously and actually try to locate your son.

No I dont think you are over-reacting and I would have one of your sons call and have them try and locate him for you guys. They might have an immediate answer, like "yeah yeah, that boat was delayed due to this or that". Wouldnt hurt to have one of them call.

if it is his reliable behaviour to call regularly.
However to avoid emberassing him just incase everything is ok, perhaps could one of your sons call his company?

Tiffany and Stella

he could for sure use the tugs phone that is what i would think
still no news this am.
called his cell again and goes right to the answering machine..
will have to call the company on Monday
although is something happened the family would be called by now I am sure
they often have to wait out the storms if they happen..

this time of the year there is alot of flash freezing that goes on in the lakes. that means the water turns to ice before it hits the tug in mid air..when it splashes. they have had to sit out in flash freezing as well
trying to remain calm..
thanks for your support

wouldn't he just borrow someone else's to call? Maybe the bost is stuck somewhere waiting out a storm.
