Quite a picture of the log barge getting a ride. Lot of small boats riding on the log barge. Thanks for sharing!

I take it these are the final shots of the Straits Logger, Haida Brave and several other vessels as they head off to some foreign scrapyard? There is actually a second ship in behind the Straits Logger. Anyone know the destination?
