Like some people, Atlantic Salvor never ceases to mesmerize me; it casts a spell.
And they’re off; notice Cornell’s wave.
Reiterating the comment I added to my own post yesterday, Don Jon’s blue finally wins me over: the hue blends perfectly with the sky fragranced by diesel fuel.

Cornell‘s furrow runs true and deep, although
Maurania III outgallops the herd.
Vessels schmooze . . . or maybe compare pushing horseforce, before

Enjoy the flickr pics. I’ve also added the album to Facebook where you can add comments/IDs as you like.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, expressing gratitude to all companies and crews who participated and pleasure at seeing old friends and new dockside. In a few days, it’ll be off to Waterford.

Bonus pic from Rich Taylor. And …egads … is that tugster just below the name board?
