At the river shortly after sunrise. Today's first ship was an upbound FEDERAL FREEDOM, seen from the highway en route. An omen - a reminder. Finally experiencing some FREEDOM.

Smoothest, glassiest morning yet this far in 2022.



FEDERAL FREEDOM upbound




Checked the AIS at about 4.30 am, it appeared as if ALGONORTH was moored just off Ault Island, as the ship often tends to do for crew rest. It departed downstream mid-morning as the CSL WELLAND was approaching.

I expected to see the colorfully painted superstructre of the ST LAURENT... But it appears as if the CSL WELLAND was also given similar treatment with a mural.

Following closely afterwards, was the CSL ST-LAURENT.

Ralized that I did not have my camera with me to snap pictures of downbound tanker SFL MESSER. Had to appreciate the ship oldschool style...


Calm enough in the morning to explore the huge foundation remains of a possible building. It's a huge structure, and although I know it's there, I didn't expect to be fortunate enough to drift right over it while fishing.

Another "Perfect" day by the river.
