More Good news for the ICG.
The background to the picture is also interesting. I can see the yacht "Mhadei" which just completed the solo circumnavigation alongside one of the IN ships (a corvette). And on the other side a passenger ship at the Ballard Pier Passenger Ship Terminal. Looks like cruise season is on.
