What’s this? Reptile skin?
A major East coast river.
Here’s the post I did when Reinauer Twins came to the sixth boro for the first ever time. What pushes this bow through the ice . . .
some 400+ feet back . . .
is Reinauer Twins in her third winter, probably
her toughest winter yet.
Hope the cabins are warm . . .
The unit goes through the ice like a dart.
I can’t wait til July, myself.

A late addition . . I’ll add it to tomorrow’s post too . . . what would our northern neighbors do on a river like this? You gotta see it here.

It is amazing for me to see this process, the panels come off the line and are put together a few months later I see this majestic vessel traveling down the hudson. It really blows me away (:0)
