August Morning on the KVK

The dawn sun communed with harbor waters for   about 10 minutes before retreating behind thick cloud, but

those few minutes delighted me.  That’s Hellespont Prosperity in background and Margaret Moran headed for the Upper Bay.

Thomas D. Witte moved in some dredge equipment, and then looked for a dolphin to hang on.  “Dolphin”  See meaning 3.

Would you believe I asked these three vessels to line up like this?  Left to right:  Ruth M Reinauer, Christine McAllister, and Nathan E  Stewart.

And a beastly shot.  Left to right:  Sea Wolf, Wildebeest, and Falcon.

If the sun rises tomorrow, I hope to post more, as usual.

Someone asked what prompted the “meditations” series . . . well, I’m facing some big decisions  with respect to work and aging . . . you know . . . fun stuff.

Random Ships 3

Cape Brasilia, offloading in the Upper Bay the other day, convinced me I’d seen her before, but

 

I hadn’t. Below is her older sister by two years although identical in size, Cape Bruny.

 

And another shot of Cape Bruny, a UPT vessel launched in 2004.

 

Mediocre foto below but fantastic link. Check out the Hellespont “life at sea” videos on the left navigation bar. Anyone identify the red-roofed tower on the ridge to the right?

Here’s a shot of the entire vessel.  Any idea where Hellespont is?
