sail on the horizon yesterday

Although it was too far away and too hazy to get a photo, yesterday morning about 9am an enormous sail appeared on the horizon of Lake Erie. It appeared to be in the area of the normal shipping lanes which is about 10-12 miles out so about 14 miles from my back deck. I can see the 1,000 foot freighters as a comparison so the mast had to be enormous, the sail looked to be a white genoa. The boat was heading west to east, I assume someone heading to the Atlantic or ICW? I was hoping to find the boat on a ship tracking website but could only find a few (very few) freighters and those were all going the opposite direction. Any thoughts?
