Winter Fishing 2021

The combinations in the sixth boro might surprise you, cargo and clams, for example.

Mary Virginia crossed Gravesend Bay to get to the Upper Bay. Back in 2013 I posted photos of Mary Virginia here.

Over in Stapleton . . .  Giulianna Maria  . . .  is that an anchoring system?

Crossing Hell Gate and leaving 91st Street Marine Transfer Station behind, Never Enuff seems fishing bound, rod fishing.

Here’s a NJ crab boat.  Note the rake toward the stern.  That’s the Miller’s Launch fleet along the distant shoreline.

And although it carries the name Lobster Boy,

the rakes show they’re going for clams.

Commercial fishing vessels is a hallmark of winter in the sixth boro.

People on the Boro 17

Here’s the index.  Here and here are some from far enough back that you can note change on the sixth boro.

Any ideas on the photo below?  I believe that’s Robert Burton in the background?

Here’s the rest of that image.  The two photos come from Bjoern Kils of New York Media Boat, which has the story on their blog here.

This photo comes from Ashley Hutto, and shows what I would deem a risky rowing feat over between the tanker Fidias and unseen a barge landing at Bayonne.

I’ll have more Pacific Link photos tomorrow, but the crewman in yellow jacket and orange hat no doubt circles the globe like some of us circle the town.

Count them . . . three crew members standing watch.

Three fire fighters on M4, one of

four FDNY RIBs out on training.

I didn’t see the crewman at this point, but I heard him banging on metal structure with a crowbar . . . there under the third row back.

there.

Still see him?  I still heard his banging.

Greetings to the Shelby crew pushing scows northbound.

Driftmaster crew make a visual assessment of floating debris.

Way up high there on Torino . . . crew with a white apron, that’s not something you see every day.

Hail to the chef!

Here a crewman contemplates the state of the universe from the afterdeck of Laura K Moran.

Harvesting goes on in the springtime boro.

Crew of Stolt Sapphire pose for pics on the stern of their parcel tanker as the skyline of Manhattan cliffs passes by.

And here’s a good bookend to this post, which could otherwise go on and on.  Best wishes to Team Ocean Valour . . .
