Hi Alan!
What a surprise to hear that you was skippering this tug when I took the photo! Thanks for the information about it. Much appreciated!!
Best regards,
Ria

I was skippering muria when photo taken, craft were kept alongside so as to avoid taking a pilot, if streamed out astern it would have been necessary to have pilot, just cutting costs and vellel handles fine with craft hipped up, regards alan

It's rather an old photo John. I remember I was very surprised when seeing the tug so in-between.
Thanks for your kind comments.
Best Regards,
Ria

Excellent shot Ria, she's certainly surrounded herself by the tow there!
Best Regards
