Wait . . . my phone is ringing. To answer or not . . .
THIS YM Warranty has become a regular at GCT on the Bayonne shoreline of the sixth boro.
Gregg tended the portside line as she came in the other day. I forget if she was inbound from Colon PA or Cartagena CO, but heavily laden she was.
Ava M. on a tether was her brakes and supplement to steering as she eased toward GCT.
As of this posting, she’s departed the boro and more than halfway to Norfolk, scheduled to arrive there on the morning after Thanksgiving.
All photos, WVD, who thanks you all for checking in wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving.
Also, check out a blog I’ve just stumbled on to called Millennial Mariner, which appears to be produced by a sixth boro mariner. If you like what you read, then subscribe.
About those cursed spoof calls of “We’ve been trying to reach you about your expired car warranty,” check out this Money magazine article if you need more reading today.
And, thanks to bowsprite for sharing this with me, if you still need to kill another 25 minutes to get away gathered relatives, Martin Machado has a great video here called Six Months at Sea in the Merchant Marine.
And if you need still more time away from the gathering, maybe you could rake leaves, chip rust, or . . . go for a paddle.
