More @ Middle Bay Ports

Here we are again today in port in Alabama. I woke up at 5:51am, just in time to get out on my watch shift at 6am. It was rather cold, low 60s. But it was cool getting to see the Olympic Triton pulling away, turning around, and backing back in at the dock. We really only had one exciting thing happen today, we were visited by some salvage divers who came to inspect the equipment on the underside of our ship (echo-sounder, current-meter, etc.). So there you have it, enjoy the pics!
