Catching Up With the Ojibway

So this is the ship that I was interested in catching.
 The Ojibway was built at Defoe Shipbuilding in my hometown of Bay City.  At that time she was named the Charles F. Hutchinson.  I think she has had a couple of names before becoming the Ojibway.
 She became the Ojibway when she was bought by her current owners.  She is used by the Canadian portion of this company and as a straight decker, she mostly carries grain.
 I think case, she was carrying grain from Thunder Bay to Windsor.  This is about a 60 hour journey.
 She will spend a couple days in Windsor before turning around and making the trip again.

 She continues down the river.

And from this spot, she is about an hour from her destination.
