Missed the CSL WELLAND... First ship of the day from my perspective was the FEDERAL MAYUMI. Great photo with the sun and sky in the background...

Second day in a row, the small red Coast Guard Technician boat was out on the water, working further down the channel, returning upriver in the afternoon.

Never thought my vessel identification skills would return. Was just enjoying being back on the water..
To eyeball a cargo ship on the horizon, and make a confident guess from a pool of unfamiliar names and builds... They are gradually becoming more familiar.

ALGOMA COMPASS on the horizon
|
Got some great snapshots of the ALGOMA COMPASS for my collection.

Through the summer haze in the late afternoon, managed to spot the green-hulled CAPE (which I'm sure that I've seen at least once).

The colors were good at around 4.30 pm - but not quite as awesome as they were just forty minutes earlier.

CAPE upbound for Toronto with a load of sugar

Saw a lone Morganser duck in the evening after 5pm before leaving.
