This is a typical morning looking out our front window on St. Joseph Island. We never seem to tire of seeing these great ships.

Alpena Sunset Duluth 9/10/2000 by Andrew Tubesing

Living in Lost Wages Nevada, I don't get "home" very often to chase the boats. I spend most of my free time chasing trains around the western states. I did do some boat chasing on a cloudy day while in Michigan for the 2009 Trainfest in Owosso. Here is one of the images from that trip.

I sail about 700-800 nautical miles on the Straits of Mackinac and the Northern Great Lakes every season, and I took this photograph from my Catalina 22 wing keel sailboat on May 15, 2010.

It was a toss-up between this and any number of "bow on" photos - definitely a perspective that gives any boater an adrenyline rush!
