The Ghost Fleet

A beautiful sunset always makes up for a stormy day!  It was so foggy yesterday that I couldn't even see the boats on the other side of the dock.  However, the marina had a visitor yesterday.  When I looked outside my window I saw a little nose sticking out of the water - it was a seal!

I would also like to share an interesting article about abandoned tankers (some of which look just like the tankers that pass through Boston Harbor on a daily basis):

"The biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history lies at anchor east of Singapore. Never before photographed, it is bigger than the U.S. and British navies combined but has no crew, no cargo and no destination  -  and is why your Christmas stocking may be on the light side this year"
