Congestion 2

Here was the first time I used this title, which clearly needs to be used again.

Let me start here at 13:38.  Note from far to near, or black hull to black hull . . . Cartagena, Four Sky with Lee T Moran, Red Hook, and Genco Knight.

Twin Tube slides through the opening between Bow Kiso and Genco Knight.

Even the bow of Genco Knight is crowded as their vessel prepares to dock and resupply the salt depot.

Kimberly Turecamo works the bulk carrier’s stern as Evening Star passes with B. No. 250.

Add McAllister Girls in the foreground and Ellen McAllister in the distance against the blue hull, which will appear a bit later.

McCrews heads westbound and Four Sky now seems to be doing the same.

Are you out of breath yet?  Only 10 minutes has elapsed.

Linehandler 1 cruises blithely through it, supremely self-assured.

Cheyenne adds color.

Another line handler boat scouts out the set up . . . as a new blue hull arrives from the west, as

. .  . does Charles D. McAllister.

Crew on the blue hull–Nord Observer–stows lines as they head for tropical heat, escorted

by Catherine Turecamo although

at the turn on the Con Hook range they meet Mare Pacific heading in with Joan Turecamo and Margaret  Moran.  At this point . . .

14:12 . . .  the mergansers decided to hightail it . . . or at least follow their crests.  And I hadn’t even turned around yet to see the congestion on land behind me.

All these photos in a very short time by Will Van Dorp.

My thanks to Brian DeForest and Atlantic Salt, whom Genco Knight was arriving to restock.

Here was a post about a dense traffic day as well as a busy day.
