The Cuyahoga in Action

 So this is the ship that really got my attention.

The Cuyahoga loaded salt at the Morton Docks in Detroit and was heading up to Fisher Harbour which is sort of near Sudbury.  

Presumably, it was to deliver salt.

As I looked at AIS, I saw that she would be passing Port Huron at about the same time as the Saginaw.  That meant that she might have to wait a little bit until the Saginaw passed.

Since I was pretty sure I was going to catch the Saginaw, I knew that I would catch the Cuyahoga.

I wanted to catch the Cuyahoga in action because she caught fire a couple of months ago.  Fortunately, the damage wasn't too bad and they were able to repair her.

I think the fact that they repaired her means that she will be around for a while.  

Although, I'm not sure about that since she was hauling salt.

That's usually a load for ships on their last legs because it's so corrosive.

If they do a decent job of cleaning the holds out, it's not too bad.

I love the colors in the background.

The bow shot.

She makes her turn to leave the river.

I hope that she gets a paint job soon, she's looking pretty rough.

I really love the colors in this one.

This is about when I would switch to my drone.

but I didn't bring it today.

Framed by the Blue Water Bridge.

A little bigger.

She starts to pass by.

She leaves the river and enters the lake.

the skies still look gray.

A shot as she pulls out.

She gets on Lake Huron.

I think it is around 12 hours to her destination.
