Beautiful, big waves!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Terrific horn and an extra-long long, can't beat that
They have great horns on this class of vessel, making them all worth catching in my "book".
Great salute and very cool to see the H Lee White's powerful engines creating the wake...⚓📣
No doubt!
WOW that was interesting how the waves formed. Thanks Paul

Very cool. Thanks Paul.
You bet!
Awesome video Happy 4th of July to you !
Thanks! You too!
Just missed seeing her in Marquette yesterday but I did get to see the Phillip Clarke. Definitely a bonus. Have a safe 4th of July weekend. 😊
Clarke is a great catch! I have yet to crawl up to 2 Harbors to catch her myself. I'm getting slack...
@@PaulScinocca you will succeed in catching her lol Every time I get pictures from Marquette I send pictures to Cedric lol
Was it the speed that caused the big wake ?
A little of the speed of the ship and also the waves were coming in from the NE, assisting the build up of the wake.
Thats not normal..
