Sunrise to the left of Coney Island Light and tug Escort, a Jakobson boat. Note how calm the water is.
The mighty Resolute passing the lofty Chesapeake Coast, with a loftier tower off in the distance.

Escort six hours after the lead foto . . notice what 22+ knot wind out of the west does. That’s Taft Beach disappearing behind the island.
And Potomac heads eastbound. I’m thinking to use Robbins Reef light as the terminal punctuation for all posts this week. Do you remember these signs that used a product name in the same way? I’m gathering if you are over 55 and a US resident, you’ll know about Burma Shave. Otherwise, you’ll think I’ve lost it again.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, this morning.
And check out this Staten Island Advance story on Robbins Reef light rehab work, featuring my foto!

Will;
Real hard to stick a Burma Shave sign in the ground in the 6th Boro, and if ya did, the tide would likely cover it twice a day.
Now, go catch your turkey at the end of the week, if ya hang it then it’ll be just right for Thanksgiving.
An remember you and bowsprite need to invite a few of them Native Americans like me.
So have a great Holiday,
We be south bound and on the side!
