A bright and sunny yet cold day greeted the bulk carrier 48,000 dwt bulk carrier Alice Oldendorff as it headed to the Martin Marietta Materials Quarry Dock to load gravel.

   APA pilot Elias Dorey was on the bridge and the tugs Svitzer Bedford with Capt. Jean Gallant at the helm and the Point Valiant under the command of Capt. Jerry Maltby all provided a seamless docking operation.I am hoping to get some photos as the loaded vessel departs.
