It was the stuff adventures stories are made of: a touch of Huckleberry Finn meets the Great Lakes, Gilligans Island and some Popeye thrown in for good measure.
In late October, a local crew was part of a 16-day mission to bring a retired tugboat named Ares from a scrap yard in Texas to Lemont, Ill., to Duluth. The journey included grubby toilets, ingenuity, a little luck, high seas and an encounter that nearly ended in fisticuffs.
