The ice was covered with a fresh coating of snow making for safe footing around the water’s edge, and a busy day on the water made it a very productive afternoon… there was even a visit by a pair of Hooded Mergansers.

Two, first-time-to-photograph tugs came by. Stephen B and Vane’s Chesapeake topped off the day.

Tuesday morning I awoke to great light for photography, but it seems that WHITE was the color of the day. There was a container ship outbound and a load of new cars coming into Port Newark, but that was the only color to be seen.
