Names 20

Here was 19.

And this fast moving light tanker is Afrodite, shuttling Albany to St. John, NB Canada, exporting Dakota crude.  That all may sound like science fiction, but sometimes I feel like my whole life has started re-enacting science fiction.  Afrodite, she with the intriguing name, sails fast.   This foto, taken between the bridges in Poughkeepsie, comes compliments of Jeffrey Anzevino.  Thanks, Jeff.

The foto below, the latest from Tony Acabono, shows Gunhild Kirk, formerly Stealth Argentina.

I took all the rest here, except for the very last one . . .  here Happy Dynamic leaves ex-MOTBY for sea.

The last few days, Happy Dynamic has been my striven-for state.

Maryland . . . passes here in the foreground of Overseas Fran and Stolt Concept.  Overseas Fran . . .  all I can think of —in the spirit of Thomas Pynchon-make that . . . overseas, fran?  Or . .  “Over.  Seas (seize) Fran!”  Gravity’s Rainbow is enjoyable, if you can make it through, and it took me three tries before I got through the first time.   More Maryland pics soon.

Ah . . and finally that creamy colored tanker bringing into the sixth boro my favorite

drink.

At first my eyes saw Zengale, quite the oxymoron.  Later, I made out the correct name, referring to a province of Latvia.

JPO Libra . . . escorted by Miriam Moran and

Energy Conqueror . . . spun by Margaret Moran.

Parting shot, also from Jeff Anzevino . . . Afrodite.

Many thanks to Jeff and Tony for use of these fotos.  All others by Will Van Dorp.
