Here was 2. Floating ice has started to arrive in the Upper Bay, where I might get to tomorrow, but in the Kills . . . it’s clinging ice. The vessel beyond the #9 is Asphalt Eagle.
A Vane unit travels eastbound on the KVK.
Tankers of sizes from BW Amazon to Capt. Log go about their business.
Note the ice clinging to the Brooklyn shore and to Ellen’s flanks.
Beyond Ellen, Topeka, and Ron G, I think I can spy some floating ice just west of the Battery.
Robert E. McAllister looks to have even more icy cling than Ellen did.
And . . . with mention of ice floating in its direction, BW Amazon seems to have decided to head out to sea.
All fotos today by Will Van Dorp, whose fingers are now thawed out.

It’s all about the quarter wave Will, the Army (LT’s) BG Classes 128′ 84,000 T bollard pull used to get it bad, we used to have to hammer it off the bulwarks in the North Sea, the smaller Battle Class weren’t so bad unless running flat out. then they’d quickly get dangerously tender. They ended up with electric deck heaters added.
