The Roger Blough Passes Marine City...Again

So next up is the Roger Blough as she passes Marine City.  The St. Clair River is a pretty nice river for boatwatching.  There aren't too many bends in it, so you can see the ships from a distance.

 For instance, the Blough was passing the power plant in St. Clair when this picture was taken.  It is a pretty good distance away.  The ship to the left is the Paul R. Tregurtha.  If I had gotten up earlier, I could have caught her in action.

 There are still enough curves that the ships have turn on occasion.  This is when you get the headshots.

 And she gets a little closer.

 Another turn and another headshot.

 And she gets closer yet.

 I really like her squat shape.

 And a shot of her pilothouse.

 Slowly she makes her way past.

 Almost there.

 And then something really cool happened.  Because of some of the groups I frequent on Facebook, I friended a crew member on her.  I think he saw me because I got a greeting from the Blough.  It was really cool.

 And she slowly passes by.

 A closeup of her pilothouse.

 And deckhouse.

 And she moves down the River.

And normally this would be it for the day...but one more set of pictures.
