While I was waiting for the James R. Barker, I saw that the Kaye E. Barker was leaving the Rouge River. She was delivering iron ore to the Rouge River Steel Mill.
When I checked AIS in the morning, I saw that the Patricia Hoey was alongside of her. I knew that meant she was getting refueled while she was unloading her cargo. So I knew that meant she wouldn't be stopping for fuel.
When I saw that she was moving, I knew that she would be leaving the Rouge River at some point.
I was getting a little anxious as I saw that she was stopped for a railroad bridge.
But she started moving again.
Typically, it takes about an hour for a ship to go from the steel mill to the mouth of the Rouge River.
Then it takes about another hour to get from the mouth of the Rouge River to Belle Isle.
Then I took the drone up. This time, I tried to get a picture from the other side of the ship. This was so I wasn't shooting into the sun.
I was a little concerned about the signal getting interference from the ship, so I moved it back. You can see the difference. Next time I use the drone, I'm gonna try to get pictures from the sun side.
I also wanted to get a beam shot and I wasn't sure how much room I would have on the other side. I didn't want to crash my drone over Canadian air space and create an international incident. I don't have an spies to exchange for my drone.
I moved with the ship for a little bit. I really like the colors in this picture.
From this point, she was heading up to Calcite to pick up a load of stone and then she was off to Grand Haven. I kind of wish I knew that before hand, I was thinking about trying to catch her there.
