Out of the Bayou 1
Well . . or with an accent, I’d say whale . . . I’m not out of the bayous and sugar fields yet, but it’s getting closer. When we do leave the dock, there may be several days that not even the robots will be posting, so be patient if this doesn’t update. Either that, […]
Caitlin and Prometheus’ Cargo
Let me interrupt my “out of the bayou” aka “regular programming” posts to a) announce my return to the sixth boro and b) update you on some exciting cargo that arrived in the sixth boro earlier this week. For the first 4 photos, I’m grateful to Benjamin Moll, since I had not yet returned here […]
Earth-on-Water Day 3
Since I’m not yet out of the bayou, and since Mage–who might need some cheering up– requested it, here are more photos from the currently ongoing flower parade on the waterways of Westland, a section of the province of South Holland in the low country aka Netherlands. Hey . . . they brought out the […]
Curlew, Grouse, and Surprises
I had planned to resume my Out of the Bayou account today, but . . . some offerings are just better served hot, and hot this is, topped off with surprises. I’m sure you’ll agree this post brings surprises. As I was out walking along the Bay Ridge esplanade, this cute catboat caught my eye. […]
Daring and Bayou Dawn
The view of three of the boros–Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the 6th–from Fort Wadsworth is spectacular, but it does not typically show the season, although winter tends to have clearer air, as was the case yesterday. See digression pushed to the end of this post. I went to the Fort to get photos of Daring, a […]
Random Halifax Port 1
An interesting aspect of Halifax traffic is that they see many of the ULCVs just before or after they call in the sixth boro. This was true the other day for ONE Wren. They have some unique Canadian vessels as well in the harbor, like Dominion Bearcat. More Dominion later in this post. Here’s a […]
Random Sixth Boro 13
Here was the post I’d planned for yesterday, put together in a moment when I thought a single focus was too elusive, random scenes, like a container ship anchored off Stapleton, elusive detail in a set all diverging from usual patterns. Or seeing a Mein Schiff vessel in town after a hiatus… with Wye River passing […]
Along NISDC
As the robots diligently do their thing in the tower, I’ve been out gallivanting, as you likely know. The where and the how long . . . you might not know. Answer: I’m in the New Iberia South Drainage Canal, aka NISDC, kinda sorta between the fascinating home of Tabasco on Avery Island and the […]
Multifarious Traffic Nola
Call this grand finale, third of three on Nola traffic . . . but of course, that’s contrived; there is no finale except to my reporting. Powered traffic has operated here since Roosevelt, the great grand uncle and aunt of TR, Nicholas Roosevelt and Lydia Latrobe Roosevelt, their second arrival there in 1811! I’d love […]
Port of San Diego
Fast jet boats . . . like Patriot, doesn’t every major harbor have one? Oh well, it gets folks out on the water. There are many other options as well. Other boats to see as well. Ocean Valor was over on the far side, and I recall (and quote) some info about her […]
