This is the first ship I ever photographed when I started my ship hobby about 3 years.

I photographed her again taking on grain cargo from P&H Milling Group, Hamilton, on the 22nd.

Caught her anchored offshore today at a distance of 5 miles! It was a beautiful summer-like day with a temp of 26 degrees C. My wife and I went to Charles Daly Park in St. Catharines and sat at the beach. People were swimming. This was the second last very warm day of the season. Here are two photos. The first one is with the Panasonic Lumix (1,200 mm). The second is with Canon (250 mm). Distance is 5 miles.
