Gimme 40 Acres to Turn This Rig Around

At the risk of sounding like one that doesn't get out much, I noticed today on a drive past Spanish Banks that the freighter I saw anchored out in English Bay on Sunday has since swung right around. It must be due to the push/pull of strong tides. I doubt the boat's been escorted to and from the loading terminal  since the weekend because the hull appears to be sitting at the same height in the water.

The timber-framed shallow water warning beacon can be seen in both photos. It's no wonder they anchor those ships so far apart from each other.
