tug love....

[Firefly625]

excuse the title....

But there was a bit of a thread drift going on so I'm starting my own homage to tugs...not sure why....but what the heck!

Why do I love tugs? Even as a kid I lusted after the Southampton tugs... but just take a look at some of these... Hopefully I am not the only one

have an issue with mobo's and wash? well just picture this, 20 big tug boats having a race... happens every year on the Hudson ..........

trusty old tug... ahhhh

Then one you would really like to own, what a tug!

We are tug fans here in the office, Jack even sports his own Tug Calender...

We were quite gutted when we sold Ships Monthly.

only ever had 1 encounter with a tug
sitting in the channel just off port glasgow, seen a tug comming,desided to get out of his way and left the channel, the hole that he left in his wake removed all the water from under me and spashed a hole in the erse of my boat!! first lesson learned.

This cute wee beastie has been converted to steam by its owner.

I used to like watching the Navy's big paddle tugs in action in Portsmouth Harbour.

Tugs? I think I own one!

The faster you go, the more wash she creates, and sucks down harder!

You missed out the second part of the race - boat length ahead. Mind you, what on earth is the one with the skyscraper built on it's deck all about!

Theres loads on a brokerage site I go on to daydream. Not sure if the forum rules allow me to name the site, but think of a series of space missions and a bird that swims and kids feed at the park...??
(I really must check the rules a bit more carefully)
