(Back in New York) You’ve seen this before here. No, it’s not named for a boat competition, as someone suggested to me yesterday. The paint is spiffied up, but
imagine my surprise and delight when
Cape Race glided into Atlantic Basin yesterday under
her own power, accompanied by music from her own Cat 3512.
Ah joy! Eggs hatch (or make delicious souffles), apples ripen, oysters open, bread rises, and projects evolve. Click here and here for festivities in Atlantic Basin last year, and come
check out this calendar of July events planned there this month and next, including Underwater New York (Check out their “An Oral history of Atlantis“) and a movie about Poppa Neutrino.

Was “talking” with some of your Seattle hosts. Looks like they enjoyed your visit as much as you did.
