For some folks, seeing a list of ships coming in and out of the river is just that – a list.

When I look at them, I see all kinds of details that I’ve learned from many conversations I’ve had over the years with career mariners in our region and beyond.

I’ve soaked up what they told me, because I found it fascinating. It’s rewarding for me to share that with you here on the show.

So we’ll talk a bit about marine weather and then take a look at a couple of ships, and a bit of what they’re about.
