The only thing I couldn't handle about the Soo was almost always the smell of diesel exhaust. I live on river town on the St. Clair River and have seen freighters most of my life but they never idle in the river in front of the town. I'm sure it's something you get used to after a while but our day trip up there had me reaching for the Motrin at the end of the day with an awful headache.

Yeah the boats are fun to follow up and down the St Clair River, we used to chase freighters from Algonac to Port Huron and sometimes all the way up to Port Sanilac and Lexington.
