Local Knowledge
When it comes to working the sea around Tomahawk (or in fact the entire northeastern coastline) sailors need to be very careful. Those rocks on the left would rip a little boat like this apart in minutes. This is where local knowledge comes in so handy. It's not just a matter of knowing where all the rocks and reefs are (depth finders and GPS will give you that information), but understanding the currents.
This fishing trawler is working the area between Tomahawk Point and Tomahawk Island (which we'll see shortly). It would be so easy to be swept onto the rocks.
This photo has a few interesting features. The water appears layered with various shades of green, aqua and blue. That darker line on which the trawler appears to be sitting is a cloud shadow I could not more perfectly have placed. I am of course shooting into the sunlight here.
