ONE AT A TIME

Whenever and wherever, the boat has to be regularly checked, to make sure that the anchor is holding, that mooring lines aren't chafed, or that something isn't bearing down on you. On one check this long string of dredging equipment seemed a bit too close.

It is hard to tell in these pictures but the string is within fifty yards. It is outside the channel. One tug is pulling on one end. Another is pulling on the other end to keep the string in a line. It seems as if they are waiting for another string of commercial traffic that can be seen to the left in last few pictures.

Hopefully those diesels keep chugging while they are upwind and upcurrent of us.
