Berna

Berna appears to have changed names.
That happens - sometimes to hide transactions - other times perfectly innocent.
However, for us, it meant a little extra effort : Really this??

So ... assuming we have the correct vessel ...

Vitaspirit

 

An accident on the Bosphorous today where apparently the steering for Vitaspirit locked up and sent her crashing into one of the waterfront villas, totally demolishing the old wooden structure at about 4:30 PM. There are news articles in Turkish here.

We caught one shot of the vessel as the removal was just starting and then waited an hour while the city puts its resources to work, sending as many as 10 emergency vessels to the scene to help tow the carrier to the southern edge of the city.

Lady Boushra

Nasty rain, Drizzle, Cold ... Not a time to get out and catch these things - but it appears to be getting better. Finally.
The traffic we were able to catch today is mostly small fry, but with better weather, we'll get back to bigger things - more frequently.

We had a Lady Ayse a while back - out of Panama. Lady Boushra is out of Comoros - same company, different address?
