This picture is taken from the CC Ballou of a now-empty landing craft heading back for another load.   A submarine surfaces in front of a couple of hospital ships on the horizon and a cargo ship steaming by.

 

It is dusk when we finally pull away from Inchon and head South down the Korean coast.  The clouds are low and there is an inland fog along the coastline.  I'm glad I'm not still on the front.   It looks like the coast is getting a storm with rain as we continue our way South.

 

A small boat, maybe a fishing boat, passes us heading North.   We go past a coastal hill as we continue South heading out to sea and Japan as I get the see my last sunset on Korea.
