And the Alpena

The ship I was interested in catching was following fairly closely behind.

 And that ship was the Alpena.

 She was coming down from her namesake with a load of cement.

 She was heading to the cement dock on the other side of DelRay.

 Little did I know that it would end up being a split load.  More on that later.

 She is definitely one of my favorite ships but I don't she will ever supplant the Blough.

 She always looks like she is in good condition and I think her owners take care of her.

 Anyway, it looked like it was going to start raining.

 But she is a pretty nice looking ship.

 Getting pretty close to the beam shot.

 the beam shot.

 And she passes by.

 In a little over an hour, she will be at her destination and will start unloading.

I'm still not sure how long it takes for to unload but I think it is long enough that I had a chance to catch her on Monday.
