Under the subject of things not seen everyday: SAGA WAVE, general cargo carrier currently at Long Beach. This ship has her own gantry cranes for cargo handling. Imagine being the crew that has to lubricate and paint those beasts.

Boatfag has spotted a vessel off the Mexican coast calling itself DICHA UNO and lists current voyage as Ensenada,Mexico to Tema, Ghana. Here's the weird: Listed on some sites as a fishing vessel (IMO and MMSI numbers come up as a laid up fishing vessel named NO.1 KAO) and others as either a SAR aicraft or a Wing-in-ground-effect. Quite a voyage for a mere fishing boat. Something smells here.
