I took these photos this morning in North Cove, the same place I took photos of a youthful Brigitte Bardot about six weeks ago here.

If you saw Brigitte Bardot, you’ve at least a sense of what this could be, but I’ll leave any identification in suspension until the end of the post.  I wish I’d seen this vessel coming in at the Narrows.

Port beam above and stern quarter view below.

And bow quarter.  I took these around 0800 because I had other places to be later.  It has a color scheme that’s almost like a geometric dazzle.

 

Ready for a clue?

See the chrome lettering lower left?  Damen.

Click here for photos and info on this vessel, Ad-Vantage, a Damen YS (yacht support) 5009, a 182′ vessel.  See it launch toys including a mini submarine here.   Ad-Vantage has been around since 2012.
