One of the favorite pastimes of Blue Water Area residents — ship watching — officially kicked off this weekend.
Pat and Don Walls of Holly occasionally spend time at the Maritime Center on weekends.
“I’ve been watching the boats for a long time,” said Pat, noting she and her husband own a cottage in Rogers City on Lake Huron, where the ships pick up loads of limestone, which is used to make steel.
The Walls also enjoy taking trips to Great Lakes destinations such as Sault Ste. Marie and Ludington.
