A hint of Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde in United Banner.
Susan Miller with spud barge, almost full frontal. Completely full frontal of anonymous gull.
Oxygen . . . Don’t those anchor flukes look a bit like . . . eyelashes? What was that odd eyelash conversation I had recently? Kimberly Turecamo to starboard and Laura K Moran to port.
Adriatic Sea emphasizes the vertical; bow wave defines the horizontal.
John B. Caddell with very little freeboard.

Newtown Creek moves in with goal posts.
What would Rosemary McAllister look like with a Cornell-esque pudding?
KT Venture is the first bulker I’ve seen offload salt directly at the Atlantic Salt dock, site of the late August Salt Festival. More KT Venture soon.
Katherine Walker approaches, with a buoy in each cheek.

Ha! I love these comments. Linda Moran has a cup holder on top with the air scoops as horns. I see the stacks as wings…..flap, flap. 🙂 And is the Newtown Creek an early 1950’s work boat? No one uses king posts any more.

I don’t thinks those are king posts, RED HOOK has that rig as well and she’s brand new. I’ll keep looking. NAVY still uses king posts.
