Sunrise on the Bay: A Glimpse Into the Heart of Westar’s Marine Operations
Silhouetted against a vibrant sunrise, two crew members work lines aboard the barge Drakes Bay in San Francisco Bay. A nearby tug from Sause Bros is visible as the sky glows in shades of purple, pink, and orange, capturing a quiet moment of marine coordination at dawn.
Every day starts early on the water. This image captures two crew members securing lines at sunrise aboard the Drakes Bay barge, with a tugboat nearby and the Pacific horizon glowing in the background. It's a quiet but powerful moment, one that represents the early mornings, tough conditions, and teamwork that define the maritime industry.
