The Sam Laud Passes Belle Isle

As I was about to leave Detroit, I decided to check AIS to see if anything would be passing by.  I didn't think there was because it seemed like everything had already passed.

 But I got a pleasant surprise in seeing that the Sam Laud would be passing by Belle Isle shortly.  I know that I caught her fairly recently but the light was right and I had to get pictures of her in that light.

 The wind was also kicking up, giving some good pictures of bow spray.

 She slowly turns towards the channel, giving a brief opportunity for a headshot.

 She finishes the turn and continues on her way towards the Detroit River.

 Again, giving another opportunity for bow spray.

 It seems like Lake Superior is returning to a degree of normalcy, so I think there are going to be more ships passing by soon.

 A kind of cool shot backed against the horizon.

 An even more impressive bow spray.

 With all the water kicking up, I had to get a shot of just the bow.

 A shot as she passes the Rocky Beach.

 Another shot because I like the beam shot.

 She slowly works her way down river.

And one more shot as she continues on her way to Cleveland.
