Cold on Deck

Astoria, Oregon ~ January 13, 2012
As my health continues to improve, I will be taking more new photos this year than I did last year. Meanwhile, here is a closeup from 2012. The gray ship is Navy Destroyer Paul F. Foster. You can see more of it in this older post.

U.S. Navy Destroyer "Paul F. Foster"

Astoria, Oregon ~ January 13, 2012

Check out today's "Ship Report" for interesting info on the Paul F. Foster, the only inbound ship passing Astoria today. Of course, that's Astoria's Arrow II Pilot Boat.

The ship has personnel on board, but it can be tested using only remote control. What kid wouldn't like that for a toy?

This ship was used to test biofuel for propulsion, and it made a complete test run with everything working as hoped for. Hear more about all of these topics on Joanne's Ship Report podcast.
