Rosemary coursing her frothy way eastbound on the KVK is a thing of beauty that always catches my attention
ever since my first view in June. Look closer toward a member of the crew
on the starboard side
is keeping Rosemary new and shiny.
Anyone know the percentage on women currently working on tugs in the sixth boro? I don’t, but i’m curious.

The captain of the survey boat always gets so excited when he hears a woman’s voice on ch 13, like a birder who spots a very rare bird: “Oooh! oooh! did you hear that?? it’s that woman pilot!” “Oooh!–there’s that woman captain!” Just one woman’s voice we all dread hearing: “”Conrail AaayKaay Elizabeth New Jersey Railroad Bridge…”

All that’s missing is her disjointed syncopation and the LENGTHY countdown.

Returned to the Sixth Boro last night after 3 or 4 hitches out of town, she is REALLY like fingernails on a chalkboard…
