Three tugs tow the new Willlis Avenue Bridge span from West Hurley, up the Hudson near Albany, on its way down to its new position on the Harlem River. After a couple of weeks in Bayonne they will take it through the East river to its home on the Harlem River? The Times account is HERE.
Below is a shot I took a few years ago of the new 145th Street bridge ready to be put in place. The Willis Ave. bridge is more than twice the weight. But as one of the guys from Mammoet the Dutch outfit handling the transport said: "It's simple if you have the right tool".

I know that you are blind in the fog. But he's got a 38 foot boat and a GPS and radar, it appears. How do you miss the Kennebunk River and end up on the beach? Who was at the helm? Navigating?

My favorite is a Bloody Billy at Billy's Tavern in Thomaston, Maine. It starts with a couple of inches of Guinness. Perfect with a couple of Pemaquid oysters.
The good part about fog is it means the air is much warmer than the water. Richard, Chris, and Gabriela landed in Louisbourg, Cape Breton in search of a repair for the weatherfax. Hope he found the right socket wrench for the propeller - a Halifix stopover quest, much easier said than done. (Maybe it's metric vs. British problem?) HERE and Here are Richard's account of the last two Nova Scotia stopovers.
If you want crew to head for the high latitudes, it might be someone like this for the times when you want somebody to, say, go up the mast.
