It's not often that I get to catch a ship on the return trip but it happens. This one was accidental though.
I caught the American Century in Algonac as she was heading down to Conneaut to deliver taconite.
It is roughly a day down there from Algonac. I think the unload is about 10 to 15 hours. And then it is a day back.
I don't know if she stopped for fuel. Sometimes ships will stop at Mistersky, Sterling or the fuel dock in Sarnia on the way back.
I think that depends on when they last filled up. I think she filled up before this trip, so she might have had enough fuel to make it back.
She's heading up to the coal dock in Superior.
I think that means she might be back down this way, as that is probably a delivery to the electric plant in St. Clair.
The bow shot. This is probably my favorite shot in Port Huron.
She makes the turn for the lake.
I also like this angle.
And then I had to switch to my drone. My friend had his drone. There were two other drones.
I made sure to stay out of their way. We might need a traffic controller at some point.
She heads out to the lake.
Close to a beam shot.
Closer.
I couldn't pull back enough to get a whole beam shot, so I just got the pilot house.
She heads out to Lake Huron.
In normal days, it would be about a two and a half day trip to Superior from this point but there is still ice on Lake Superior, so it might take longer. Anyway, it was cool to see this ship again.
