Close Aboard

Big thanks to John Jedrlinic for this photo taken about 11 months ago . . . .  Jennifer Turecamo and DDG-79 passing alongside although not nearly so close as foreshortening tries to make you believe.

DDG-79 is USS Oscar Austin, named for the Marine who gave all near Da Nang nearly 46 years ago.

 

Fog 16

When Walter’s building looks like this in the center of the island,

the sixth boro looks like this.   Here Ava Jude pushes a Hughes barge past Ruth M. Reinauer wedded to RTC 102.

Eastern Welder fishes as Emma Miller services Asphalt Star.

Wolf River does hydrographic work while

Chesapeake Coast lighters Elixir, and just beyond

Amazon Brilliance belies her name.

Awaiting orders or favorable tide and each with a barge, it’s McAllister Sisters and McKinley Sea.

Here’s to hoping for fog to dissipate.
