Back in December, I posted a variation of the photo below. But that view didn’t allow me to see the bow.
Now I have: what an attractive boat!
Now that I see her bow and complete profile, I see how similar the hull is to Sea Hawk but maintains a functioning lower wheelhouse. It was too bad the froth obscured the Bludworth connection.
Updated photo of the ladder on the nose is below.
It was a pleasure to see the 1998 Sea Eagle light as I was out doing my exercise in social and actually physical distancing.
All photos, WVD, who wishes you all health.
Unrelated: Some mariners are trapped on their vessels, and likely not thrilled to be calling in the sixth boro.

On your second from last picture of Sea Eagle, I see what appears to be a ladder on her bow. But I don’t see it in your other pictures. Is it an illusion??

Now it makes sense – the only point of barge contact is the Bludworth nose (which is obscured by the bow wave) so the ladder won’t be crushed.

I love the link but I would never swim in those waters. The currents move too fast. Many thanks skipper! 💦🐋
