The Right Honorable Paul J. Martin Makes an Appearance

 It wasn't too long for the next ship.

The Right Honorable Paul J. Martin was up next.
She is heading to Montreal.
I think she was heading down from Thunder Bay but I'm not sure what she was carrying.
I'm guessing it was grain.
The bow shot.
She makes the turn for the channel.
A relatively clean background.
She passes the Renaissance Center.
Passing Windsor.
Another relatively clean background.
She passes the Ambassador Bridge.
The tower behind her pilothouse.
She continues down the river.
Sadly, I was shooting into the sun for this.

Catching Up With the Right Honourable Paul J. Martin

 It has been two years since I've see the next ship.

It seems like I always keep missing her.  Sometimes the cycles don't match up with my work schedule.
She's a nice enough looking boat.
She is one of the last ships to be built in Canada.
A bow shot.
Again, I'm not sure where she was heading down from.
But like the last ship, she was also heading to Windsor.
I think she was heading to one of the stone docks.
So it might be safe to say that she was delivering stone.
The fishing boat kept tracking with her.
Windsor in the background.
An almost clear background.
She passes under the Ambassador Bridge.
The bridge almost centered.
I kind of like this angle.
Lined up with her pilothouse.
She starts to make the turn for her dock.

A Seagull

 I got a couple pictures of the seagull.

I kind of wanted an out of focus ship and an in focus seagull.  I should have tried a little sooner.
the ship passed.
I like this one.


The Right Honorable Paul J. Martin Makes an Appearance

 So I headed down to Marine City to catch the next ship.

I was hoping to catch her in Port Huron but I couldn't make it there in time.
I'm not sure where she was heading but it didn't matter.
I think I like downbound ships better.  They are usually better lit.
A seagull photobombs this picutre.
It was a little on the windy side but not too windy for my drone.
She looks like she has seen some use.
Some wharf scrappings.
And she continues by.
You can see a little color in the trees.
One more with my regular camera.
And then I switched to my drone.
I love the blue on the St. Clair River.
This is a little darker.

the beam shot.
She passes by.
One more shot.  I wanted to take my drone higher but it was too windy for that.
