St. Clair River activity (2016/08/06)

Unread post by Bookworm »

For Boatnerds who haven't had a chance to experience the beautiful St. Clair River, here are views south and north -- on an incredibly gorgeous morning -- to give you some perspective. Starting at Port Huron and all along the way to Algonac (both US and Canadian sides) are great photo ops for capturing ships as they pass your camera lens.
