Mr. Silly Posted October 29, 2020 Share #61 Posted October 29, 2020 There's an island behind the Frontinec now. It is called Fawn Island. We have some friends who have a house on there. The ships are maybe 200 yards from shore when they go by. THe ships wake is like a hole and it sucks the water from the shore like the tide went out. Then it comes rushing in. It is pretty cool to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted that 59 minutes ago and I do not see any damn ships. The two ships are getting close. You'd probably see the Calumet if they'd cut down the trees and tore down the buildings. There's a bend in the St. Clair River that is obscuring The Frontenac. Patience Grasshopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
