James R Barker upbound at Pointe Louise with a HUGE

Taken from out at Pointe Louise, west of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario Canada this is the James R Barker from the Interlake Steamship Company headed upbound after locking through, making her way toward Lake Superior and on to Silver Bay MN
Captain Newland gave a wonderful Captain Salute for me and came out to wave and say hello which is always nice
The #BarkerBark is now widely considered the best salute on the Great Lakes and no one can do one quite like Captain Newland even when his Reliefs try... and they do a great job, but nothing is quite like how Captain Newland can do it

Andrea, you're a natural on the commentary. So informative & well articulated, which is not easy to do live. I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for sharing your enjoyment of these magnificent vessels with us! Ship watching was a favorite pastime when i lived up there 35 years ago.
