I made my way through all the weird car wrecks on the Belt Parkway this morning to get to my cliff just before sunrise. A small bulk carrier headed to Gravesend Anchorage while a tanker was anchored farther out. About those wrecks . . . three multiple-car collisions in same-direction lanes between Woodhaven and the VZ . . . what is it about impairment and driving that people don’t yet know!!?
Motorboat Yankee headed out to the mothership.
Miss Emma McCall was just off the USCG quarantine station.
From a different perspective, this is bulk carrier/general cargo vessel Meloi anchored.
When the sun rose, it painted ABC-1 and pilot boat New Jersey in light.
Philadelphia and
Josephine waited to rejoin their barges.
Sunlight began to hit the tops of the cranes on Castlegate, a bulker with Chilean salt.
All photos, WVD.

I don’t comment hardly ever, but I want you to know that I truly love your posts. I grew up on the Hudson River (Rhinecliff), and always marveled at the ships and tugs. So many memories of watching the Tugs and barges at Cornell. Once again, Thank you. Happy New Year. 🍻
