Herbie the Love Boat

 It seems like it was a good day to catch a pair of classic lakers.  Because of the breeze, it wasn't too hot.  The breeze also made for some nice wave action.

So the boatnerd community has adopted a number of nicknames for the Herbert C. Jackson.

The most common is Action Jackson after the movie.

I like to use Herbie the Love Boat.

Occasionally, I will use the name Herb Superb from a Cheech and Chong movie.

This is one of the reasons why I like to  take pictures in Port Huron.  You usually have a couple of chances to get a bow shot.

She makes her turn to enter the channel.

And then catches a wave and sits on top of the orld.

Quite a few white caps on Lake Huron.

I think I like the quarter angle better than the bow shot though.

And I just keep shooting.

The other bow shot that you can get in Port Huron.

And then she turns to hit the river and she hits a couple of waves again.

She was coming down from Marquette.

She had a load of taconite.

And was delivering it to AK Steel in Dearborn.

ONe more shot with my regular camera.

It still wasn't too windy for my drone.  I think I am liking the lower angles better.

I kind of like this shot.

And she starts to pass.

Getting a beam shot.

A little more of a beam shot.

And she continues down the river.

In another 7 hours, she'll be in Dearborn.
