The Wilfred Sykes Passes the St. Clair River

As I was looking at Marine Traffic Friday night, I saw that the Sykes was leaving Cleveland.  I didn't think I was going to catch her because I thought I was going to the air show with my dad yesterday.  He contacted me and said he couldn't go (we ended up going today).  So I had my chance to catch her.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to catch her in Detroit but I figured I would be able to catch her in Marysville, so I headed up there first.

the sun was pretty good and almost at the right angle.  Especially with a dark sky in the background.

There is a chance to catch a bow shot here but she is still far out.

But I think I like angle better.

Especially with this light.

One more with my regular camera.

And then I switched to my drone.

I've discovered that I like the lower angle shots better.

She passes by.

One more shot.

And then she passed.

She continues up the river.

So I headed up to Port Huron next.

I like the angles better.

She was coming up from Cleveland.

She was heading to Drummond Island (and then Calcite).  That meant I was likely to see her again.

And sure enough, as I checked Marine Traffic, that was confirmed.

She will be loaded this time.

I prefer loaded to unloaded.

One more shot with my camera.

and I switched to my drone again.

she passes the bridge, if you look closely, you can see the next ship.

I like this shot.

One more shot before moving to the next ship.
