My First Vessel of the Season

As I was at Milliken, I looked down the river (as I am want to do) and I noticed the movement of a vessel of some sort.

 At first, I thought it was either the Coast Guard buoy tender or the Army Corps of Engineers tug that I sometimes see.  Turns out that it was the tugboat Manitou.  I've seen this tug a few times in the past, so I'm not going to get into her history here.

 While I'm glad that shipping season has started, I'm kind of bummed that my first vessel would be a tug.  Oh well, can't win them all, I suppose.

 As tugs go, this is a pretty nice one though.

I think she was heading back to Port Huron but I'm not sure.  Oh well, farewell Mr. Tug.
