Early morning at the port

Good Morning all, I hope life is treating you well and wishing one and all a good day

those that follow me probably know that one of the places I used to visit fairly regularly when getting out for early morning walks was the port here in New Bedford.
Even though I have never worked on a commercial fishing boat, or for that matter been out fishing on a private boat, I do find the port fascinating and enjoy my walks there, these shots are from a couple of walks I did there last year.

OF course on some mornings when I visit there the clouds are in full force or its dull and grey, but for this post I am sharing shots when there was nice skies and some lovely early morning colors

Starting looking over the bow of one of the commercial fishing boats

Next up with have the ship Resilient with nice colors in the background

I am often paying attention tot he names for the boats and wondering the story behind them

Now for me Resilient seems a good name for a fishing boat as it means being able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions, which I am sure is what the crew on such boats must do quite often.

and here we have K.A.T.E and K.A.T.E II I wonder if Kate is named after someone but the full stops between the letters make me wonder is there some deeper meaning to the names, I guess I will never know
