7:38 AM Santiago Express (Singapore) / downriver
7:40 AM Golden Pisces (Newport, OR) / upriver
(Look to the bottom left - I know, the sunrise is pretty too)
7:52 AM Sunrise in full swing now!
8:05 AM Hanjin Madrid (Hamburg) / upriver
8:25 AM Stolt Island (George Town) / upriver
This is another dredger like the Terrapin Island that passed before. Is it tradition to name dredgers after islands, or just company policy, I wonder? I like the sunlight reflecting off the bank of fog that is rolling in behind the ship.
9:56 AM A core of engineers boat keeps passing by, it's a small craft, but it's passed by at five times so far. Surveying for future dredging, perhaps?
10:21 AM Iris Ace (George Town) / Upriver
11:28 AM Same tugboat as went by the other day pulling the long pipes. Again pulling pipes, but of a different sort. It stops, then goes backwards for a few minutes, then stops. Picture taken through my binoculars to get a better resolution.
11:30 AM Tug with pipes heads off upriver again.
2:43 PM Tugs that took pipes upriver return, coupled together somehow. Sunshine gives way to rain.
3:16 PM Triton heads upriver. Enjoying the unabridged Don Quixote on audiobook, and wishing I knew enough Spanish to hear it in the original.
5:00 PM End Survey
