The Samuel Risley Returns

I saw that there were a couple ships stirring on the St Clair River yesterday, so I decided to head up there to get pictures of them.  I was actually pleasantly surprised because I thought that I was done boatwatching for a while.

 The first vessel I saw was the Canadian Cutter/Icebreaker the Samuel Risley.  I was kind of surprised to see that there was little ice in the river near St Clair.

 She passed by with a purpose as she was escorting the ship in the following post.

 I'll have to admit that I like her looks better than some of the US Coast Guard ships.

 A straight shot out.

And she passes by.
