The Kaministiqua Passes By

 It wasn't too long for the ship I was waiting for to appear.  It was a good thing too.  While the temperature said it was in the mid 40's, the wind made it feel much colder.

The Kaministiqua was coming down from Thunder Bay.
I know that because I caught her last Sunday as she was heading up to Thunder Bay.
I think the ships had to take the long way around Lake Superior because of the nasty weather they had last week.   Factor in that it is already a roughly 2 day trip from Detroit to Thunder Bay.
Add in at least 2 days for loading.
So it makes sense that she would be passing Detroit today.  She is heading to Sorel which is in Quebec.
She is approached by the M.S. Westcott.
She passes Windsor.  The M.S. Westcott is behind her.
A relatively clean background between downtown Windsor and the Ambassador Bridge.
She approached the bridge with the M.S. Westcott at her side.
The tower of the Ambassador Bridge at her bow.
Amidships.
And near her pilothouse.
She continues down the River.
The Westcott leaves her.
It is at least two days to Sorel from this point.
