Where might that gull go if it were to tag along on this vessel with exotic names for the rest of the year? Guesses?
I took this foto as it entered the KVK this morning from Savannah bound for Port Elizabeth . . . aka Port of New York/New Jersey. Well, it leaves here tomorrow bound for sea and will be back just before New Year’s 2012. And before returning, it’ll have done the following ports in this order: Halifax . . .
Kingston, Panama Canal, LA, Oakland, Vostochnyy, Ningbo, Shanghai, Pusan, Balboa, Panama Canal, Kingston, Savannah: voyage #28 for Zim Beijing.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who wishes I could tag along. The escort tug was Charles D. McAllister.

you could tag along, but you probably would not be allowed off the boat to sightsee anymore than the rest of the crew. You might be better off in featherclass, as an albatross, but then the sights would not mean as much to you. Oh, the humanity!

bowsprite . . . featherclass is a great idea! as to “sightseeing from deck” . . . i’d love that . . . seeing all the other escort tugs in the next 10 weeks, the ports and traffic unique to each. for example, kingston and vostochnyy (which i’d never heard of before yesterday!!) in late fall. . . now what would be floating around there. hey . . . you could sketch and i could take pics and blawg . . . now that would be wonders to last for years!!
