Note. Everyone with the surname 'Wilson' is automatically called 'Tug' at sea. I'm not sure what the original Wilson did this to deserve this, but it is widespread in the British service. I expect it applies in the wider English-speaking world. Smile.

In meinen Augen die echten Helden und Könner in allen Häfen dieser Welt !
In my eyes, the real heroes and experts in all ports of the world!
This Tug boat is a real work hoarse and, it is quite literally life blood to the area. We see it bringing barges from the "mainland", loaded with goods for the grocery stores, and hardware stores, just to name a few of the multitude of reasons. We see it taking barges away filled with aggregate sand from the area and off to California, replenishing that disappearing coast. Or, log booms to wood mills that will later become building material for housing projects or perhaps furniture.
Stationary for a moment, a long exposure smooths out the already calm ocean water. Color touches the horizon over the mountains on Vancouver Island and the moon makes an early appearance.

One of several Tugs taking part in the Flotilla of Ships Sailing from Hull to the Humber Bridge and Back ..This event was to Commemorate The Queens Platinum Jubilee Celebrations .
Ein wundervoller Tag, warm und dennoch zog sich die Wolkendecke langsam zu. Die ersten Sonnenstrtahlen zu geniessen ohne zu frieren, fühlte sich unglaublich schön an - Der Schlepper faszinierte mich - was für eine unglaubliche Kraft in ihm steckt. Ich konnte nicht umhin daraus eine Langzeitbelichtung zu machen - hoffe es gefällt Euch :-)
I took a walk out at Montana de Oro this morning and had fun watching these two Western Gull chicks squabble over a leftover.
The other day this tug came in to Charlevoix and started breaking the ice. That afternoon the first ship/barge was pushed into the cement plant. Here is the Candace Elise doing a fine job.
