Lived right on the rock cut in Barbeau, 1964 when I was stationed at the now defunct Kincheloe AFB. Lot of fish caught there! Lived in a stone house owned by Leo LeLievre and 2 years ago it was still there.

@SooRiverLover do you have a relative by the name of Leo? Sounds like you might!

[@MartinVSmith6334]

@@DreDesignsGLMP Nope! Just paid rent to that Leo.

Hi Captain

[@_PJW_]

Nice vid again.
You could use a wind muff.

[@DreDesignsGLMP]

I have one.. for my camera.. this is an iphone that did this video

[@timmynascar2836]

We are familiar with the area how far down past the ferry is it

[@DreDesignsGLMP]

Couple minutes past the Neebish Ferry

[@robertkaspert4092]

Where is this at. I love watching the freighter's I usually watch from Delray Park.

[@danielmorris3687]

The Rock Cut. Downbound St Marys River about half way between Soo Locks and DeTour Village.

[@heatherbrown2377]

@@danielmorris3687 how close to the cozy corners cafe? I'll be visiting the area from Florida next week and would love to see this as we make our way for the locks back to St Ignace. Thank you!

[@danielmorris3687]

@@heatherbrown2377 I'm from Canada so I'm not positive but I think this was taken behind the Cozy Corners or along the Cut itself If you look on google maps or a paper map you can see the Rock Cut shipping channel begins right there just South of the restaurant. I hope you have a great trip. ✌🍁

[@DreDesignsGLMP]

@@heatherbrown2377 It's very close to the Cozy... Just a minute or two drive down the road

[@timmynascar2836]

Hello my name is Tim I've been watching your videos for quite a long time and we are up at the soo and we were wanting to go to the Rock cut how do you get there could you explain it to me please and thank you

[@DreDesignsGLMP]

Sorry Tim I am just seeing this now... Hope you were able to find the Cut.. it's not an easy place to notice if you're just driving around

[@user-fk8ry2cs5c]

My ship needs a little paint job. Remember her well.

[@DreDesignsGLMP]

She does not need a paint job... that's run off from hydrants that cleaned her decks at fitout...
