Catching the Ile Saint Ours

I think this is the first time I've caught the Ile Saint Ours but not the first time that I've caught a Canadian Buoy Tender.
 These are typically small vessels that are under 150 GRT and are used in a variety of missions for the Canadian Coast Guard.
 This particular vessel is named the Ile Saint Ours which is named after an island near Quebec.
 It is 23 meters long and has a diesel motor which is 475 horsepower.
 She is crewed by four people and was built in 1986.
 Since their mission isn't typically long, I don't think she has crew accomodations.
 She passes by.

And the Caribou Isle

The next ship was a nice surprise.
 The next ship was the Caribou Isle which I assume is a Canadian buoy tender of some sort.  Well it is carrying buoys.
 The Caribou Isle is one of the Cove Isle buoy tender.
 She can help maintain lighthouse supplies, she is sometimes used in search and rescue, sometimes helps with pollution control and a can help in scientific studies.
 I think in this instance, she is going to help maintain aids to navigation.
 At any rate, she was pretty cool to look at.
