I started the week catching a glimpse of the Cape-class tug heading out, among the newest boats in the harbor. Then I headed out for a few days.
And today, juxtaposed with Frances, here she is.
I was out waiting to interview some other prognosticator animals–given my skepticism about Chuck, Phil, Dave, and who knows who-else–and sure enough Cape Henry emerged and predicted spring would come on March 20, as the calendar said. As to spring weather, well . . . we’ll see that by wednesday this week.
For now, enjoy the shape, especially since
Cape Henry headed east and ten
after a short time returned, maybe bound for the Kirby yard.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, whose been told there are two copies of Cape Henry–Cape Ann and Cape Lookout.

Cape Henry headed out flying a red flag on her starboard halyard but on her return it was absent. Was she, perhaps, delivering hazardous cargo?

Good catch, Robin. I believe it was up initially because they’d just completed fueling. The “return” photos were taken about an hour later; someone by then had noticed it should be taken down. Thx for observing this.
