Thank you to Hope Wright, D1SR Public Affairs, for sharing her great weekend visitng the USCG Lightship Nantucket, this ship is now tied up on the north side of Pier 25 at the foot of North Moore Street, New York City.
 | | We keep a sharp eye on a tired paddler going against the tide who hauled herself out on north side of Pier 66 | |
 | | Schooner making its way northbound turns out to be the Mystic Whaler flying her ensign from atop the mainmast | |
 | | Mystic Whaler motors her way against current | |
 | | We crew aboard the John J. Harvey completed required CPR class, followed by lunch on the fantail. Next week will be MOB practice, line handling and shake down cruise. | |
 | | Volunteer crew on historic fireboat John J. Harvey have a paint party, while those ashore enjoy dining al fresco on the Hudson River. | |
 | | This is where the term bright work comes from on the yacht Justice berthed on the Hudson. Notice the step stool on float next to cleat. | |
 | | Blackie working for room and board as a "mouser" on port watch. He was a stowaway originally aboard a sailboat from St. Thomas. | |

 | | Installed just north of Pier 40 is the new Fish Attracting Device (FAD) which works after dark to bring fish into the pile field as part of a study with the Hudson River Foundation | |
 | | At first glance, they seem like real gulls but always face south | |

What a great day it was yesterday! I am a member of the crew on the John J. Harvey and we are REQUIRED to take, and pass, a CPR course which we had in the morning. Then a little paint party (many hands make quick work!) and were rewarded with spaghetti, salad, cold drinks and homemade cookies on the fantail!! Nice group.
