Bergen Point marks a serious bend–just west of the Bayonne Bridge–from the KVK into the major ports area on Newark Bay. Richard took fotos of a vessel making that “hard right” here. In the foto below, notice the crewman behind the bulwark just above the “DY” of Ever Dynamic.
Once past a critical point, Laura K Moran drops back to power
the rotation. Starboard full, I imagine someone say, and over three football fields of steel with cargo packed in ever so efficiently dances to the right.
Under the Bridge and into Newark Bay is not the easiest entry, Laura K and
Margaret Moran have
their work cut out, and as I write this, 48 hours after the fotos were taken, the heavily scheduled Ever Dynamic has
already exited the sith boro, traveled south, and by now has been assisted into the dock in Norfolk.

That first photo is incredible! The mallard’s head is a colour match for Evergreen both visually and vocabularily :-)
Watching Ever Dynamic heel as the tugs work their mojo is a sight, too.
