I've been keeping an eye out for the "Taft Beach" and today she made her way north...

One of our Tman family works on this tug (I think it's Tim H?)...

I was training a new Captain today and didn't get to call the tug and ask if crew would come out on deck and wave "What's up!"

Any way here she is pushing on the "nose" North on the North River...

Thanks Scout and FlyinFinn,
I'm glad the pic's are okay, kinda funny story I was walking under a bridge on a narrow ledge and lost my footing!

Into the drink I went... Complete submersion (I think the man upstairs is the only one that got to laugh at this) well I dried off eventually, my camera was not so lucky... Had to replace it and couldn't justify spending the money on another Canon...
