front of the ship is a weather bouy towed from the Atlantic to

Marfa: The Weather Buoy was towed from Bermuda in February 1967. He was
a crew member at the time. "This buoy was a real pain to tow
as the tow winch on the ship had been turned sideways and we had to tow
from a fixed line. Every stop on this cruise resulted in the old "yo
ho heave ho." to retrieve the tow."
