The Blue Water Area includes Port Huron and its surrounding communities in Michigan along with Sarnia, ON Canada and its surrounding communities. Centered around the point where Lake Huron feeds into the St. Clair River, the name comes from the beautiful emerald blue color of both these bodies of water.
We've got it all here. The City of Port Huron, Maritime Capital of the Great Lakes, is an international border crossing marked by the twin spans of the Blue Water Bridge. There are plenty of things to see and do on both sides of the river, but most of our recreational activities include enjoying our waterways. The most popular being boating. Jetskis, cabin crusiers, speedboats, sailboats, you name it. It's our passion.
There are several boating events during the summer months, but the biggest is the Port Huron to Mackinac Island sailboat race. Over the years, the race has become an icon of sailing in the Great Lakes bringing in participants from around the country and around the World to compete in the challenging fresh waters and sometimes fickle breezes of the Great Lakes.
Shipping over the Great Lakes has been an important industry for over 100 years, paticularly for the Blue Water Area. The recent resurgence in shipping traffic has fostered the reopening of the Seaway Terminal in Port Huron. Sarnia also has a working port. So many of us admire these big ships as they pass under the Blue Water Bridge that they've become old friends.
Why do I mention all of this? Capturing the sites, people, and goings on around here is my other favorite thing to do. There is such a diversity of subjects that one just has to wait a few minutes for a photo to present itself.
