We made a quick visit to Anacortes, Washington to visit with some friends. Near sunset I took a photo of the harbor supporting the refinery at Anacortes. The Polar Resolution was in port. I learned that Exxon had renamed the Valdez the Polar Resolution after damage leading to the historic Alaskan oil spill was repaired. It is the ship to the right, blue hull with a white superstructure. I would guess it was a PR move to allow the ship to serve without damaging anyone’s reputation. In any event, before the evening was over she sailed empty, back toward Alaska for another load.

Fom the same spot overlooking the harbor, I also shot pictures of some Turkey Vultures riding the thermals over Cap Sante. Kind of cool looking down on them from the crest of the rock.
