Cruising in from Alpena, Michigan, the 378 passenger Octantis anchored off of Northwest Beach at Point Pelee on May 7, allowing its passengers an opportunity to engage in some prime-time birding.
First-time lake cruisers Lisa and Richard Wilkins of Scranton, Pennsylvania, were among one of the groups that ventured to shore. The couple shared that they enjoy birding and have been excited of late to watch an eagle that is nesting on a lake by their house in their hometown. The Wilkins were hoping to spot an owl or two during their birding excursion at the national park.
After a short one-night stay, the Octantis made its way to its next port of call in Toronto.
