Watching a laker emerge from the fog, while gliding under the Aerial Bridge, is like something out of a fantasy! She just keeps coming, and coming as if there is no end to her! Then, suddenly, the bridge emerges, only to dissappear into the fog just as fast. Thanks for braving the fog to bring us this fantastic view of a beautiful laker! 6:17
That sport fishing boat was zooming and then the American Integrity swallowed it up in the canal.
Really great catch. Big ship emerging from the fog.
Thanks Greg!
I had the pleasure of working on this beautiful ship over the last winter layup.
That was sooo COOL. See the bow and the bridge still in the fog and the reverse on leaving the canal. Great video Paul
Glad you enjoyed it, Thank you!
The American Integrity slowly appearing out of the thick fog was very cool. Something right out of a Stephen King novel almost...⚓📣
🤣 story of my life, "almost" 😆
@@PaulScinocca 😂
Great video Paul. I would be scared silly if I was at the helm of that thing in the fog. There is no way the pilot can see the bow from the bridge. Got to appreciate their skill.
That's really froggy. Years ago, my wife and I went on a Lighthouse cruise up in the Soo and the Algoma Discovery came out of the fog like that. That's a really cool video.
Wow, almost a whole minute of fog before we saw the black bow of the boat appear. 🚢
They scoot a little slower in the zero vis situations. I do like the foggy days once in a while.
Yeah they WANT you to think it's just fog....
One of your best ever, love this one
LOL, & Thanks!
Safe trip, INTEGRITY!
indeed.
Very nice post brother, thanks for taking time out of your day 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼🇳🇿
Thanks, My pleasure!
That is a very cool. video! I know that they have radar and lookouts, but that has got to be a little spooky getting underway when you can't even see the bow. . .
I bet there is a little "pucker" factor sailing in those conditions. Electronics or not.
😊Awesome video. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Ghost ship.
Indeed!
more dangerous out there than usual!
A bit of restricted view... 😁
