That's great Tim! Best of luck to you and hope I get to see you on the water... I have been keeping an eye out for the Tug "Taft Beach" I know he is on here, but I haven't seen his boat lately...

A $195 million steam generator is on a barge traveling along the Hudson River to its new home at a PSEG Power plant under construction in Woodbridge.

Yessir, that's my brother. He got his stcw and high tailed it for the carribean to do salvage. I may be working on the Taft beach myself, since I have an "in" at the company.

A few cruise ships dock at pier 90 every weekend... This is part of the fueling operation, many times divers are in the water inspecting and repairing the hull of these big girls...
