Checking Back 2015 a

Here’s what I did two years ago.  And here’s what I did last year.

This time I’ll do it differently, as post –more or less but close–the first and last photo I took each month, starting below with Buchanan I entering the Narrows on January 1 not long after sunrise.

And I won’t mention each date, but this was January 28 just before midday, Durance entering the KVK with Laura K Moran taking the stern.

Winter sees fishing boats like Eastern Welder in the Upper Bay, adding to the regulars in the anchorages like Asphalt Star and Emma Miller.

If you’ve forgotten how cold it stayed throughout the month of February, here are two photos from just off the Battery

taken on February 28.

James Turecamo ushers in March, actually that was March 6, and there’s still snow on the ground.

At the end of the month, Grey Shark was in town for repairs, an extended stay.

April 1 saw Margot continuing to extend NYS Marine Highway right through the sixth boro . . . the same day that

Kismet enters the cold waters after leaving its lair in the Caribbean.

April 29 . . . I finally caught Simone in the harbor . . . here tailed by MSC Monica.
