And Then There Was the Pathfider

This is one that I did not expect to catch.

The Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder was stopped in the Belle Isle Anchorage when I first got here.  I wasn't sure why she was waiting there.
I initially thought she was waiting to go up the Rouge or something.
But it turns out that she was waiting for an opening at the fuel dock.
So she started to head down the river.
I'm surprised they didn't bring the tug to her but I imagine that might cost extra.
She starts to pass the Ambassador Bridge.
The tower in the middle.
One more with the Bridge.
She continues to the Mistersky fuel docks.

The Pathfinder Passes Belle Isle

And another repeat visitor to this blog, the Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder. 
 I'm still not entirely sold on the tug/barge combination but it gives new life to old veterans of the lakes.
 A shot of her tug.

 As she heads out to Lake St. Clair.
 One more shot.
 One more shot of her tug.
The sad part was that I almost missed her.  I was heading back to the car and then I heard a boat horn and looked towards the River and saw her heading up.
