The tanker Sterling Energy came over from Hamilton on Friday and put bunkers aboard Pineglen.

Re: pineglen
Indeed lots of ships have unofficial nicknames. Some are silly, some are overly glamorous, some are vulgar, some are an expression of contempt and some are even cringeworthy. But it's all well intentioned and good and I encourage everyone to come up with their own nicknames. I myself see nothing wrong with lahey's personal choice of nickname even though it might be a little weak, he's just enthusiastic and I encourage him to carry on.Denny wrote:It is just a nickname that someone come up with for the Pineglen on this board Lakercapt. Sometimes you just gotta have a little bit of fun with these boats and also picking nicknames for them also. Have many nicknames of my own for the boats but, I will let it be at that for now. Hope that this answers your question and helps.

Re: pineglen
Lakercap I agree I had 47 years before I retired,I also do not agree with the term "Piney" as well as other slang and short forms used by the Enthusists, I do not know what they are talking about eg ELR, etc.please for the uninformed use proper names and please reframe from Piney slang
Re: pineglen
What's this with the "Piney" as I have never heard of the boat referred t as that before.lahey wrote:Pineglen has awoken. Her AIS is transmitting. Soon she will be out doing what she was made to do. Rule Piney!
The ex "Paterson" crew would cringe.

Pineglen has awoken. Her AIS is transmitting. Soon she will be out doing what she was made to do. Rule Piney!

Re: pineglen
I just hope that CSL decides to bring her out in 2016 as since they painted in her red, "I have believe it or not never seen her while she was downbound only up in the red color!" This year though I am finished with boatwatching so won't be able to make it up to the Port Huron area until next year. So bottom line, I hope that the Piney will be out in 2016 and I see her more downbound than up!

Re: pineglen
Perhaps Piney will get her chance to partake this year after all. Fingers crossed.

Re: pineglen
Could they possibly be coming out for the Fall Grain Rush? Lots of traffic up in Thunder Bay lately especially Salties! Thunder Bay is having one if not the best Grain Shipping Season and busiest in a long time at least for them anyway.
