Outbound at 0800 this morning, Swan took a turn past the Statue before leaving. Foto by John Watson, who is himself outbound for a while.
Out of luck I was in guessing the timing, so I got this view as Swan was outbound for the port of Luba, I’m told. Luba is on the island now known as Bioko, which
I once knew as Fernando Po, a rare place in Africa where Spanish is the official language. I hope the Atlantic Salvor folks got some good fotos of Swan headed out.
Yacht Justice (1930) is an outstanding survivor.
I’ve know idea what this trio of military/interdiction go-fast boats are, bt they are turly out-of-the-ordinary.
Also, out-of-the-ordinary for the sixth boro is Dewaruci, in port early for OpSail, arriving here on Wednesday. Dewa Ruci appears to be a character in a wayang puppet story. I’m looking forward to their marching band. Over near the Red Hook side, that’s Pioneer.
And this is the start of leg 2 of the Atlantic Cup race, outbound for Newport this morning.
Over a dozen teams have entered boats.
Possible leader, pending resolution of a protest) at the end of leg 1 (of 3) is this boat.
Oh yes . . . out of focus! !@#@!! And I loved the composition.
And finally . . . these folks are really outbound to a place even less known . . . maybe than Luba.
I love the hammock and banana bunch here. For some fotos of Avatiu, click here. For really outstanding fotos from there, click this one.
Picton Castle stack logo is quite outlandish.

For the news from the Narrows between Detroit (which means “the narrows” in French) and Windsor, click here for Isaac’s site and some great fotos from Wade. The surprise there for me was Zeus , who worked the sixth boro a bit a few years back. Also, there are more shots of DonJon’s huge Great Lakes ATB unit.
