Call this a continuation of yesterday’s post, but this is a model bow set . . . . Given all the features that could be discussed, focus on these for oldest/newest, smallest/largest, and least/most horsepower.

Call this the push knee set. And let’s do it this way . . . given all the features that could be discussed, focus of these for oldest/newest, smallest/largest, and least/most horsepower. CMT Pike. An aside about CMT Pike is that she was not built with a retractable wheelhouse. When launched, she had a fixed […]

Even on overcast days, the sixth boro aka NY harbor offers sights. It’s long been so; here’s much abridged paragraphs 3-5 Chapter 1 of Moby Dick: [People] stand … fixed in ocean reveries.

Discovery Coast has been around for over a decade now. One of my first times to see her was here. Lightning has only recently been joined by Thunder, here. Might tugs named for other weather phenomena like hail and fog be coming? Helen was only renamed that earlier this year; before that, she was Charles Burton. […]

Happy please-go-vote day. If you know anyone at all who is eligible to vote but won’t, have a chat with that person. As a New Yorker, I voted over a week ago . . . early voting on a Saturday afternoon. Some photos . . . and your part is to 1) rank these boats […]

Anyone know the story of this lobster tug over at Pier 81 Hudson River? Its current name? Discovery Coast was standing by a tank barge at Pier 8 Red Hook. Next pier south, Pier 9, Evening Tide hibernates. I guess it’s not true that all parts of “time and tide wait for no […]

Marjorie moves her train cars. Nathan G goes for fuel. Crystal Cutler pushes her barge. Paula Atwell travels light for a change. CMT Pike does her harbor rounds. Mister Jim here looks brighter than usual in the morning sun; in cloudy weather, that gray livery obscures details. Robert IV assists at the stone anchorage. Cape […]
