Harbor Sunset

After spending most of the weekend in front of my computer, I took a few hours off to get some fresh air.

Poor Falls of Clyde…in limbo. So very depressing. Impounded by the state but still owned by the Friends of Falls of Clyde. I guess the powers that be don’t mind that their names will go down in maritime history as the “bad guys.”

Too bad that it’s only money that talks. History’s voice is silenced by greed.

One bright spot in all of this is that I’ve made some new friends. People who understand and care about the fate of ships like FOC.

I took the day off. Much needed rest and a visit to the harbor again.

Bye bye!

JD Pringle arrived towing something:

Very Much Appreciated!

After a few rough weeks, it was wonderful to be allowed to tag along with Captain Enos on the Horizon Reliance job. There is nothing like being out on the water.

On board Honolulu:

Horizon Reliance:

I love the lines of these old LASH ships!

Thanks to Captain Ed Enos and Paul. Feel much better.

Mahalo to Captains Brown and Hopkins! Special thanks to Paul.

Arrivals In the Harbor

While it’s interesting to see new or different ships, it’s always good to see “old friends.”

Just arrived, Maunawili:

Monday Off

Day Off = Go to Harbor

Horizon Spirit (my first of her with her Pasha Hawaii paint job, I think):

Looks like Nico’s is doing well:

Marsupial & Extinct Bird? 😉 Wonder if tourists from Australia and New Zealand scratch their heads?

Grain storage detail:

Boom texture:

Maunawili:

BBC Amisia departure delayed. I was rather disappointed I couldn’t get a good photo due to the fuel barge.

Nohea:

Nene, which I consider a “cute” tug (along with Noke):

Pasha Hawaii Ships – New and Old, but New

Horizon Enterprise, now in Pasha Hawaii livery, has been stuck in the harbor due to problems with a boiler, so I hear. She was moved to Pier 10 from Pier 32 by three tugs (deadship tow).

Horizon Lines no more:

Old-style lifeboat:
