CCGS Samuel Risley
Lawrence of Berkley and I hit the road again this morning to see if we couldn't catch any of the icr breaker action wrapping up in the St. Claire River. As expected, the had wrapped up earlier in the week and the river was flowing well and mostly free from ice. We heard that the
CCGS Samuel Risley was on its way to meet the
AlgoCanada in Marysville so we followed her up and popped off a few frames. After the Risley passed the AlgoCanada in Marysville we made our way back to "International Flag Plaza" under the Blue Water Bridge and waited to grab photos like this.
AlgoCanada Into Lake Huron
Following the
CCGS Samuel Risley to clear a path through the ice in Lake Huron, the
AlgoCanada passed by "International Flag Park" in Port Huron.
USCGC Hollyhock & Lightship Huron
Lawrence of Berkley and I hit the road again this morning to see if we couldn't catch any of the icr breaker action wrapping up in the St. Claire River. As expected, the had wrapped up earlier in the week and the river was flowing well and mostly free from ice. We managed to catch the
USCGC Hollyhock downbound under the Bluewater Bridge in Port Huron, then followed her down through St. Claire. The only shot I liked was this one with the Lightship Huron in the foreground.
AlgoCanada Under the Bridge
Shortly after the
CCGS Samuel Risley disappeared from view the
AlgoCanada cae around the bend and glided under the Blue Water Bridge.
107 Breaks the Ice
Lawrence of Berkley and I decided to head out to Algonac this morning in hopes of catching from ice breaking action. We arrived to see all four of the ice breakers (two U.S. and two Canadian Coast Guard ships) doing their thing in the channels. We ended up watching the
U.S. Coast Guard Ice Breaking Tug 107 (Penobscot Bay) for quite some time as it cleared the North Channel around Russel Island.
