Simply a great photo. Seen at full screen I was tempted to add a decorative frame to my monitor and hang it on the wall!:-)

Thanks for your kind comments Alex, Vlad, Volker & Jadran.
The weather made difficult work for photography, I was being showered with sea spray everytime I stepped outside the wheelhouse of the tug!
All part of the fun.
Regards, Rick
