Morning at Pier 17, South Street Seaport. Meeting friends from Sebago for an Audobon tour of NY Harbor
bkfrogma:
We left our kayaks at home this time - here comes our ride, NY Water Taxi Seymour B. Durst
bkfrogma:
Passing Red Hook - Art Trees, and the Waterfront Museum, downtown Manhattan in the distance
bkfrogma:
Next stop, Erie Basin. First seal sighting here - only it was a seal-shaped piling doing an excellent impersonation.
bkfrogma:
Scotty Sky, one of a very small number of tankers still around in NY Harbor. I got a nice shot of 2 more together later on in the trip.
bkfrogma:
Mol Efficiency. I was here for the birds and seals but I enjoyed watching the harbor traffic, too.
bkfrogma:
Nadir had told us to keep our eyes peeled as we approached, and sure enough, here was our first actual seal sighting - and it was a big one!
bkfrogma:
Circled the five little heads that were visible at this moment. There were a whole bunch here, and very active!
