The Eagle Bostons' final trip .

A black thick o' fog enveloped the Chedabucto Bay and Canso Strait area creating visibility problems for photographers and causing incoming vessels to go to anchor. At 1030h this morning APA pilot Capt. Chuck MacDonald took the Eagle Boston off the Nustar Dock for what is its final departure from the Strait area..Sources tell me the contract with the Eagle boats is up and we'll be seeing more of the Spirit vessels plying our waters.
The crude tanker Overseas Sakura was making its way in to Nustar at 1000h with APA pilot Capt. Scott MacDonald aboard and after conferencing with the vessels Master it was decided to go to anchor until visibility improves.It will sit at Anchorage Alpha in Chedabucto Bay with the pilot on board  for a bit in hopes of the fog lifting.
The oil products tanker Gotland MarieAnn is docked at the inside berth at Nustar .
