A decade ago, Capt. Log delivered vital juices to boats around the sixth boro.  On this particular February morning, we traveled the North River to feed to Classic Harbor Line fleet, here Manhattan.

Then, we crossed over to Brooklyn to top off the iconic Water Taxi fleet.  Capt Log then and Chandra B now, this fueling happens, rain or shine, sweltering or

glazed.  This vessel’s namesake was city royalty.  Water conveyance using the sixth boro to link the other boros has grown in the past decade.

Stephen Reinauer pushed RTC 80 northbound. 

Later, just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge, Stephen Scott headed down through the Highlands with RTC 42.

Line crunched her way up to the Newburgh dock and then 

eased out out and 

made its way up to Saugerties, while Doris returned light from a mission.  That’s the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.

Farther upstate at lock E-20, Governor Roosevelt and a bevy of NYS Canal tenders hibernated, some frozen in

and other just drained and frozen.  Tender #7 was later reefed.  Tender #4 was electrified, used for several seasons, but will be moved (has been?) permanently ashore in Amsterdam NY. I’m not sure we ever figured out what the third tender was.
