Catching One of the Movie Stars

 I looked at Marine Traffic tonight and saw that a favorite was downbound.

At one time, the Michipicoten was known as the Elton Hoyt and in that time, she was shown during the opening crawl of Grosse Pointe Blank.
It was a fairly long opening crawl and it makes her one of the Great Lakes ships that has a movie appearance.
I think she was heading down from Marquette.
She was heading to Toledo which I think means she might have had a load of iron.
At any rate, it was nice to see her because she is one of the better looking boats.
Other than the iron ore deck on her sides, she looks pretty good for a Lower Lakes boats.
I'm not sure how much longer we will be seeing her.
At any rate, I'm glad she's been coming down this way more often.
And then I switched to my drone.
I was shooting from a different spot in St Clair because they had my normal spot blocked off for some boat races this weekend.
This wasn't a bad spot though.
The beam shot.
She continues on her way.
One more shot with my drone.
And one more shot with my normal camera.
