But first, bowsprite’s talked about her online art store for some time, and yesterday . . . officially, she launched it. Please traffic it. I wouldn’t want her till to look like the one I found along the KVK yesterday. See the jam-packed cash drawer below. Come spring it might be full of green.
I love it when traffic in the KVK is dense: here (l. to r.) Mediterranean Sea, Siberian Sea (?), Margaret Moran, and Cosco Tianjin. In the distance is Robbins Reef Light and the old Williamsburgh Savings Bank tower in Brooklyn.
Dubai Express, Austin Reinauer, and Brendan Turecamo. Invisible on the starboard side of Dubai is James Turecamo.
Here a small Triple S Marine (Aren’t they based in Louisiana?) boat bounces past Lucy Reinauer.
APL Japan, Elizabeth McAllister, Marion Moran, and McAllister Sisters . . . I believe, with the Brooklyn skyline in the distance.
Meagan Ann and OOCL Norfolk . . . with cables of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges in the distance.
Sea Lion pushes a barge of equipment ahead of MOL Endurance.
Among the pieces of equipment on this Mobro barge, what intrigued me was this Caterpillar designed to operate in wet places.
Finally for now . . . Beaufort Sea tails Maria J and Frederick E. Bouchard.
With traffic this heavy, I can see bowsprite will be very busy drawing and sketching while the robots staff the store. Or maybe she could have robotos out sketching while she keeps the rust off her cash register?

In second shot – that is not SIBERIAN SEA – I’m guessing it IS one of the Roehrig boats I just don’t know what’s left in the Kirby Sea stable in NY. SIBERIAN SEA resembles HOUMA in profile just bigger and both have no upper house.

not TAURUS – no wheelhouse door and the stack paint on TAURUS goes all the way to the deck, not the case with FALCON but again, no wheelhouse door. CASPIAN SEA or SOLOMON SEA maybe?
