Michigan Trader

Fall evenings, the lighting gets worse and worse and worse.
That said, this isn't so bad - it's going to get worse the closer we get to the end of December.
The photo is now 1 day old, so she has moved considerably north of the photo position

Balla

 

Once again that time of year has come that it starts to get too dark to capture much.
That said, this evening, we caught Balla heading south,

Leo I

Leo I has moved south quite a bit since yesterday - now somewhere out in the Aegean Sea.
The AIS link shows that she has had a paint job since she was entered into the records, but we can be pretty sure it's the same ship: registry and size match our photo data.
Lome - that's a port in Togo.

Saga Tide

 

Nothing particularly remarkable here.
Except maybe the Hong Kong registration.
Not much from those parts that float past us here.

34 A 1679

Another classic fishing boat.
Love the way they draw the (can we call it a?) tender up onto the back end for transport.
Looks like she's headed to the Istanbul fish market to unload her catch.

Ohio

Ohio was the name of another tanker that went down in the history of WWII - actually, kept from going down - by lashing her to 2 escort destroyers to bring her precious load of fuel into Malta.
