Signs 3

Here were previous posts in this series.

Sunday morning, though, I went out to see the full moon set, but

while I was relaxing there, this Dolphin intruded,

low.

And then went back and forth . . . above this tanker with stern line dangling and held in location by two tugboats.   And the VHF channel 14 was calling for a slow bell in the KVK.

Another USCG asset came around, and

if all that didn’t call attention to something awry, then a small boat adding wipes to the booms

called even clearer signs of a problem. Also, on that outboard, is that camouflage paint or grease?

Meanwhile even more spill response boats and crews arrived.

When I got home and searched for info on any (oil spill) incident, I learned that the Dolphin itself had experienced some problems and spent the rest of the day and night on a nearby golf course.  Ouch!
