Well I'll be, so that's where the Thomas Laighton goes for the winter. I just photographed it in Portsmouth a couple weeks ago on a beautiful sunny day. Nice to see it make it's return.
Your not kidding about crazy March! The temps are all over the place! I was in VT yesterday and it was 27 degrees with strong winds. With the wind chill temps must have been in the low teens. Thought I would freeze trying to take pictures! Came home to 40 degrees. Much better.
They dump the clam shells, huh? Does it have any sort of benefit?

Yes they dump empty clam shells! It's a floating dump truck owned by the clam company Intershell. It has a dump on her aft section from an actual dump truck. She capsized last year when ice in the dump offset her balance as they were raising it. Luckily her two crewmen were saved! That's where the shells go after they've been shucked. It's good for the habitat, sea creatrures love that stuff!
The weather is crazy in NY too; last week was beautiful in the high 60s, and now it's low 40s. I hope this drop is only temporary!
