This pic taken a few years ago, was out riding motorcycle after work and heading to meet a friend in Sedalia Missouri.
Stop in a small town and noticed this funnel cloud, strange weather day, plenty of blue skies, but a lot if really strong but small storm clouds, I never got rained on but rode on a lot of wet roads.
Anyway, as I was looking at it, two kids ,boy and girl probably five or six years old walk by.
I pointed at funnel cloud and ask them if they knew what it was...they looked and calmly with no concern said "tornado"
As they walking away the tornado sirens went off and they took off screaming ?

Saw on a morning ride last week.
I thought maybe otter. Posted on local social group. Most folks say Mink, some say River Otter.
It would take a bite or two, and maybe fish slip back down into the water, and it would have to retrieve it back up and try to hold it before ready for another bite or two.

An example of a disappointing image capture. Usually the old iphone8 produces pics I'm happy with. This quiet smoky scene was captivating with its simple content and delicate colours. The sun and reflections were a dazzling neon pink and the water and sky had shading of subtle greens and purples. None of it showed up in the pic. Clearly a better camera and operator would be needed. Oh well..
iPhone8..... Do you know about touching the screen for what area you want the exposure set for....? Say, the area that had the color you mentioned.
Otherwize it takes average of most of the sceen, and the sun and the sun shimmer are quite bright.
Touch an area, it makes a box, and you see the screen adjust exposure/color, if you like that, touch the shutter button, or try another area.
After a while the box dissapears and it goes back to regular.
A pic for bccap.
The largest tug on the Great Lakes was in the local Port Weller Dry Docks for paint and polish.
With barge it tops out at 1000 feet. The Welland Canal where i live can only support 730 feet so it spends most of its time on Lake Superior.

IMG_6752 by Scott Marvin, on Flickr At Kentucky Lake today, the owner should have paid attention to the Lake level forecast. Too late now.
Presque Isle. 140ft.
Yah, does have big pilot house, 5 levels.
Presently in Lk Huron headed south. Destination of Nanticoke Ontario on Lk Erie, so gonna go through St Clair river (Detroit/Windsor). DOnt know what barge.
Yah, I have not seen a tug with pilot house and such like that. Looks like maybe it could house the crew of the barge (just a quess).
>>Later Note:
Ah, now I see. THe Tug is Presque Isle.
AND... is a barge of same name. THey were built to go together (Integrated Tug Barge, "ITB"), and make a 1000ft unit.
So I will not see such here (Grand Haven) (maybe Muskegon if stone and such).
