MS Messy Bottom...

She is cleaning the ass with the grass.

So this is how they trim the bushes on the riverbanks... Just back 'er up and turn the prop on - Worlds largest weed-whacker!

Now that I see the "taken" day, I was at that time with the UBC Tarragona on the Missy and had exactly same and did that what I said above. Coldfronts coming through with strong winds and turning over a period of 24-36 hrs 270degrees.

This is standard on the Missy, when current are not to strong,,not over 2-3 kn and the wind sets the ships toard shore. The Missy is along the bank mud and sand and nothing can happen. If the wind gets stronger then one slacks the water side anchor until the ship lays alongside the bank. Once the wind turns one shortens the previous slacked chain and all is normal again

Probably she was tired of standing at anchor and lay down to the shore.)))

Is she hunting ducks?No doubt that it is and original photo,Vladimir!
