Other People’s Photos 57

Let’s start with Bjoern’s photos from a month ago just about already.  The New York Media Boat runs almost all year round and provides wet and cold weather gear.

 

Actually I took this photo, intending it as a baseline photo for the process of preparing the barque to travel the Atlantic next spring, on the deck of a heavy lift ship. I took this photo near Caddell Dry Dock almost two weeks ago.

A really gallivanting Larry Seney took the next few photos in Hawaii:  Namahoe,

Mahi, and

Hoku Loa.  More info on Hoku Loa can be located here.

Thanks to Alex Weiss for this photo of Independence.

Ted M sent this papa smurf aka Pleon photo taken in early August in New Bedford.  Now it’s over in the Arthur Kill.

And the last photo comes from an East River jogger, Art Feinglass, who took this photo of Navigator passing the old Domino Sugar refinery, an architect’s playground.

 

Thanks to Bjoern, Larry, Alex, Ted, and Art for these photos.

 

2000 Miles . . . and Approaching B

The tow–Lauren Foss and the crane–is captured in Gatun Lake by MS Europa‘s webcam.

A few hours later, she arrives at the Gatun Locks, which will lower her to Atlantic/Caribbean levels.    Vessel nearer is ARC Endurance.  Click here to see ARC Endurance in the sixth boro a bit over a year ago.

Vessel in the distance is MSC Carmen.

For truly remarkable photos of the tow traversing the Canal, click here to see gCaptain’s fine work.

With friendly seas, the tow should be arriving at the Narrows at end January/beginning February.
