The Kaye E. Barker at Mistersky

 This was a ship that I saw on Marine Traffic but I wasn't sure that I was going to catch her.

When I got to Riverside, I saw that she was getting fuel at Mistersky.  I also saw that she had been there a couple of hours, so I expected that she was going to pulling out soon.
I wasn't sure if I was going to see her actually pull out, so I took a couple of pictures as she was docked.
As I realized that the Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder was pulling into the fuel dock, I looked at the Barker and saw that smoke was coming out of her stack.  That meant that she would be pulling out.
Sadly, I didn't catch a picture of it but after a puff of smoke from the bow thrusters, she started to pull out of the dock.  I was more interested in getting a bow shot of her.
She continued to push out.
Started to give me a good shot of Zug Island.
When I posted this picture, I titled it as "Pulling out of Correllia" because that was Han Solo's home plant.  This looked like the planet in "Solo".
She is another ship that I really like.  she is another classic laker but she is a unique looking one.
She is also one that I see fairly often because she is typically the one that goes between Marquette and Dearborn.

She pulls out in the channel.
Just a beautiful ship.
A relatively clean background.
A nice shot with the McKeil Spirit and Pathfinder in the picture.
The ship moves on.
She approaches the Ambassador Bridge.

She was heading on to Burns Harbor.  I think she was coming from Toledo which means that she was delivering iron to Burns Harbor.
