Port Patterns

Tuesday 1/12/10 I looked up from the galley sink and saw a vessel coming down the East River I'd never seen to before, the rather long and oddly named Gypsum Centennial. This was at at 0815.

I looked her up on a ship tracking site. By the time I was writing this at 2225, she was in the anchorage off Owls Head Park. You can trace the pattern of her route yourself at marinetraffic.

Another nice port pattern I found on the floor of the shed. It is how some cacao beans fell off a pallet. A pallet pentimento in beans, with a very nice pattern of pastel pallets behind making an industrial tartan.
