Ship of the day

[caja-dglh]

A few years north of Boston can do this to a man.

[ursus arctos]

Might also be padel, I guess.

Joe Lewis' boats had squash and paddle ball courts below decks.

You could see them when the hatch opened to allow the watercraft out.

[San Bernardhinault]

I don’t know the name of this boat, but it seems to have a pickleball court on the foredeck which is a novelty to me,

Remembering this evening the crew of the Solomon Brown lifeboat who perished on this day in 1981/ Also the crew of the MV Union Star and the family that died with them.

The Fugro Explorer survey vessel is visiting us, perhaps sheltering from the coastal storms

Not showing for me.

A couple of years ago Stena and Irish Ferries said they wanted to combine their services from a single ferry port and to provide a service evry six hours or so. It hasn't happened given the choice of Pembroke Dock or Fishguard I presume they would go for Fishguard.

I'm due to take the Manxman from Heysham Port to the IOM in a few weeks time, I'll see if I can get a decent photo.

[Gangster Octopus]

It's forty years since I took that trip.

The lunchtime ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare sets off for its 4 hour voyage across the Irish Sea.

[Wouter D]

We just walked by a boat named "Shake the Disease". We sincerely hope its owners informally refer to it as the Depeche Boat.

The Johan de Witt is back:

The Roosevelt and Lincoln both in today:

[Sits]

[ursus arctos]

Asphalt Splendor is a name one can conjure with

[Ginger Yellow]

Nothing special today, just another cruise liner, but I'm rarely around when they leave port:

[ursus arctos]

Just passed between FF and us



38 metres long. Atypical for the Hudson.

Not exactly the world's most interesting ship but I'm sitting in a terrace in possibly my favourite square anywhere,and couldn't resist

[ursus arctos]

I am slightly concerned.

There have also been more helicopters than usual.

My guess is that it is West Point related. Commencement is on Saturday.

This rather ungainly "expeditionary fast transport" just steamed upriver

Trying to establish a bridgehead at Poughkeepsie?

HMS Diamond. Don't get many destroyers:

[ursus arctos]

It came from Den Helder

Here is its Wiki page

There are quite a wide variety of active vessels named Rotterdam

I saw that Dutch ship going up the Thames a few days ago, I did wonder where it would end up.

Here's the other photo I took, there were more birds around that time.
