She’s a Very Important Work Boat!
It’s the Lilac on Diesel,
I think the Ida Lewis is the only CG Buoy Tender not named for a tree
Thank you
wss
The 175-footers are called “Keeper class” after lighthouse keepers… started coming out in the ’90s.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCG_Coastal_Buoy_Tender
Built at Marinette, Wisconsin!
got the cutter marcus hanna in portland, maine …. making sure the reds and greens are workin’
alice wanted me to ask whether that green crane-tilted thing on deck is a huge dandelion wine carafe . . .. just askin’
Hugging the buoys happily tho. 🙂
I think of you happily and often these days. Your delightful calender is right next to my desk about elbow height. Just wonderful.
