Our marina is across from Coast Guard Island and every once in a while we get to see the coasties heading out. The photo is from the bow of our boat looking out on the Estuary - Oakland is behind the ship. When it returned a few days later, a horrible screaming noise was coming from the ship and no tugs were anywhere around. It went out silent and came back pulling us all out of our boats to see what was wrong. We have sort of rickety docks alongside our boats, and a parade ensued to go watch the ship get back into its corral. A huge tug opened the floats that keep the ships in their area and we watched it backing into the dock, all along wondering if it was going to blow up. All the turbine noise made us crazy. Two days later, No. 721 went out silent as stealth.
We get excited about the smallest things.
