Coming and Going

Crane, anchor windlass, vents, and the stowed gangway on the bow of NOAA Ship Rainier. The anchor windlass is machinery for letting go and weighing anchor.

The scenery beyond the rails is very beautiful, but the temporary respite from faster passage to any new geographic destination also has given me a chance to take a few photos of the space around me: the ship herself. However, instead of writing nautical miles of text to talk you through a verbally descriptive tour of the entire vessel, I’ve posted a bunch of captioned photos that will give you some view of what I see while wandering around my current home away from home. ... Remember always that half the fun of the journey is getting there… but the other half is actually being somewhere. So look at the scenery in the world around you — wherever you happen to be — as you keep exploring, my friends.Read the blog post
