The Herbert C. Jackson In Ferrysburg

 As I was looking at Marine Traffic this morning, I saw that the Anderson was sitting off of Muskegon, the Jackson was heading to Grand Haven and the Tregurtha was also heading to Muskegon.  I saw that i had a few hours to get over there, so I dilly dallied a little bit.

Unfortunately, I dilly dallied a little too much as I missed the Tregurtha coming into Muskegon.  Pretty much once they pass the channel there is not really a good spot to catch them until they come back out.  Well, I decided to wait to catch the Anderson coming out because I thought it would be soon.  Well, my light was starting to wane.

I looked at AIS, and I thought the Jackson was starting to back out, so I headed over to Grand Haven to catch her.  As I passed over the bridge where I could see her, I saw that wasn't the case.  So I went to the park where I could get pictures.  They aren't the greatest.
A shot of her deckhouse and crane as she unloads.  It looked like she had a while yet.
Her pilothouse.
I went to another spot, I kind of like this shot but it is still not the greatest.
One more shot of her pilothouse.

As I got somewhere where I could look at my phone.  It looks like the Anderson left about an hour after we left.  The Jackson left after that.   Either way, I wouldn't have had enough light to get either.  I wish I would have taken my drone with me.  I could have gotten some better shots of the Jackson at least.  Oh well.  Maybe tomorrow will bring some shots.
