Even though the day was rainy and the photos don't look nice, there's something interesting going on here. Usually the ships are pretty quiet out on the water, but today I heard the unmistakable sound of a helicopter as the ship was passing. I kept looking into the cloudy sky, so it took me a minute to realize that the Coast Guard 'copter was on top of the ship.
Here a Coast Guard boat is following in their wake.
The pilot boat was alongside but hanging back.
The camera didn't want to focus at this distance, but there is someone in the doorway.
It looks like one guy is still in the door of the helicopter and another guy is on the pole (or whatever you call it; are they still called masts even on a ship like this?) of the ship.
Speaking of poles, the name of this ship is
Pole.

I can almost imagine weaving a mystery novel around this. Fun series, Sheryl.
