The Mississagi Comes in Out of the Storm

On the Saturday before Memorial Day, I was going to go up to meet my dad to go help him with my Grandpa's and Great Uncle's gravestones.  I posted a picture of my Great Uncle's gravestone last week.  Before heading up there to meet him, I saw that there was a ship coming down that I was interested in.  The catch was that she would be passing Port Huron at around 6:30 in the morning.  Since I wasn't sleeping very well anyway, I decided to wake up and catch her.

 Just before I got to Port Huron, it was storming.  It was still storming to the north of Port Huron.  Fortunately, it wasn't storming when I took these pictures.

 I kind of like the way the water looked.  It gave a very distinctive look to my picture.

 If I remember correctly, the Mississagi was on her way down from Calcite.   That means that she had a load of stone.  I think she was heading down to Marine City.

 She starts to make the turn for the channel.

 Another slight turn.

 It was starting to brighten up for me.

 I like the clouds in this one.

 And she starts to pass by.

 And she continues down the river.

One more shot.
