Blueblue 2

There are many blues in the sixth boro . . . besides my own.  Saturday I caught an unexpected glimpse of King’s Point  Liberator.

DonJon has their unmistakeable blue.

But then there’s this one, which mesmerized me for the first time almost six years ago and when the vessel was just off the ways.

Palva is a midsized vessel of the NesteOil fleet.

And these blues are just part of their corporate colors scheme.

No matter . . . I’m still captured by these colors,

arrested and drawn in.

Five years ago I wrote: “It’s the color of sky, water, twilight ice, and distant land.”  When Palva left for sea yesterday, it’s destination was Murmansk, possibly 11 days away.

Murmansk . . . exotic though not  balmy.   Fair winds and frazil ice . . . if any.
