In the morning light, it's possible to observe the exact minute that the colors change.
The same scene taken one minute later, the sky is red to suddenly blue. This happened around 6:18AM.

Saw the blue "Diving Boat" heading upriver in the morning, returning back in the afternoon with wetsuits, presumabily drying on the railing on the return trip.
Another day of oldschool ship watching... No digital technology for tracking of vessels, just keeping my eyes open. Unfortunately, very few ships actually appeared.
Caught the FEDERAL WELLAND heading downbound.

ALGOMA HANSA was upbound.

ALGOMA HANSA approaches, saluting

The ALGOMA HANSA actually saluted a couple of times. Lots of pleasurecraft on the water. Not sure exactly who she was saluting, but it's always neat.

ALGOMA HANSA

At first, Thought the HANSA might even be the ALGOSEA on a return trip... (looking it up, the ships are exactly the same size. Not sure if they're sisters, but share a number of similarities).
I also previously thought that if one were to spend a weekend at the river, the likely ships to see would be the
ALGOMA HANSA, the G3 MARQUIS and/or the tug barge combination of EVERLAST and NORMAN MACLEOD. These regular Seaway vessels also frequently use the Wilson Hill anchorage just off Ault Island. So does ALGONORTH, which I haven't seen in a while...
