Pipe layer in Albert Dock Basin

APACHE II : carrying capacity 7663 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 5.9 meters. Her length is 138.3 meters and her width is 27 meters.

Wet morning, went out between showers to get a newspaper. Sun came out after noon, so walked down the Water of Leith via St Marks Park. 9C and a mild wind, no edge in it for the first time for a while. In extra, the lower weir. Lots of water in the river, and signs that at flood it had been 2m higher; lots of debris lodged in trees. 

Wandered round the Leith farmers market, then to Ocean Terminal and a 34 bus back to Leith Street.
