In Search Of "Old Sailor"
 

Well I had the day off today and after shooting some outdoor trap Sailkat and I headed for Port Huron a town at the bottom of Lake Huron. Port Huron is the gateway in to Sarina, Canada. Hope you enjoy some of the shots we took while looking for Old Sailor and the Griffon.
