In Search Of "Old Sailor"

[Sailchaser]

Well I had the day off today and after shooting some outdoor trap Sailkat and I headed for Port Huron a town at the bottom of Lake Huron. Port Huron is the gateway in to Sarina, Canada. Hope you enjoy some of the shots we took while looking for Old Sailor and the Griffon.

Supposedly the Griffin is near Goderich freeing a freighter that is stuck in the ice.

BEAUTIFUL snapshots - wonder what Dave has been up to? I havent seen him around in quite a while.

As soon as I saw the loons, I knew you had spied him. Imagine my disappointment!

Hope he's having a safe and boring deployment.

Nice pictures, you can almost feel the icy cold. Just hope using binoculars near the border didn't rouse the suspicions of the fine folks at Homeland Security. ;)
