Most of the vessels that hide out in the "Rochester lee" usually end up closer to the entrance to Irondequoit Bay than the actual Port of Rochester at the mouth of the Genesee River, as that offers more protection as it puts them further south in the the shoreline dip that occurs there.

While obviously not unheard of, seaway max vessels are still a rarity that close to the south Ontario shore, and for some reason many people think that any big cargo ship that doesn't have containers stacked on deck must be a tanker of some sort (don't know where they think grain, ore & stone come from, or how they get there).
