If you like cool boats and/or are attending tonight’s free concert at the foot of C Street (see the Lowdown), peek around the corner of the Fishermen’s Terminal building for a glimpse of a visiting high-tech research vessel. The Ocean Starr is currently under contract with NOAA, doing rockfish surveys up the West Coast. The 171-foot vessel is equipped with a bow chamber and can be outfitted with a helicopter flight deck.
