St. Clair River - April 11, 2026: Mesabi Miner

Still waiting for Alpena, who is at anchor on Saginaw Bay at Light 1. In the meantime, here are some photos from my trip to the St. Clair River yesterday: I was set up to launch the drone and catch Mesabi Miner near Algonac State Park on Saturday morning. When she came around to corner, to my surprise a U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin was hovering above her! So, the drone was out of play, and I had to grab the DSLR camera for some shots of the action. While I was disappointed that I didn't get the aerial shots of Mesabi Miner I wanted, it was cool to catch the evolution with the U.S. Coast Guard helo.
