Snow on the water

River Pilots at Work in the Snow - Astoria, Oregon Astoria, Oregon ~ December 19, 2008

The pilots work in all kinds of weather. This is Arrow 2, the small pilot boat that docks at the foot of 12th Street. In another photo from December 18, 2008 (but posted on December 27, 2009), you can see two of the pilots in their gear.

    Great picture to end the year! It doesn't happen here...

    Happy New Year from your sister city, soaked in rain. A very wet end in Tuscany!

    I hope they have one heck of a heater on board. I gotta hand it to them. Not everyone would be cut out for that job.

    Have a Happy New Year Sheryl!

    Not what I would call excellent working conditions. Happy New Year.
