Random Tugs 255
Just for ships and figgles . . . have a glance at 155 and at 55 in this series. While we’re reconnoitering the past, here’s 5. And here’s springtime 2019. Might this be the last view I get of tug Viking? Scuttlebutt’s bumped into me saying so. Her first (I believe) appearance on this blog was […]

Stephen B heads light westbound about to pass under the Bayonne Bridge, as Mary H, especially busy during the cold times of the year, pushes some petroleum product in the opposite direction.

And in this morning light, Sarah Ann looks like a beauty as she heads somewhere past Robbins Reef Light and well . . . along that island. Let’s continue trying to get some different POVs. Patricia has some fine lines here […]

Take a camera and an hour and a half, hang out at some point along the KVK, if it’s cold then bring some hand and boot warmers and a thermos with hot tea, monitor the scan function on your hand held, and wait. Soon there’ll be some traffic. Snap away. Winter is a better time […]
