January 15, 2012 -- Snow

We have had several inches of snow along the Elliott Bay shoreline so far today. It's calm and peaceful out on the water. The new-fallen snow on the docks in Bell Harbor Marina is especially beautiful.


Across Elliott Bay and against the backdrop of snow-covered West Seattle, the Washington State Ferry Hyak passes M/V Navios Hyperion, a 2004 Japanese-built Panamax bulk carrier that has been anchored in the bay for the past several days. According to a January 2010 news release, Navios Hyperion is under charter through April 2014 at a rate of about $38,000 per day, plus operating costs.  


Finally, M/V Dirona, which departed Elliott Bay Friday afternoon for a brief weekend cruise to Langley and LaConner, returned to Bell Harbor around mid-day. We noted Dirona's departure in a January 13 blog post.
