I could be wrong (often am), but a boat that just "floats" in usually means it is not under power. The correct term is "sailed" in, and in this case, "steamed" in is even more accurate.

Late Arrival

Never stops being awesome, though.

CAPTION: This interesting sight is not uncommon in early spring or late fall, when these large boats encounter rough weather on their trips across the Great Lakes.
