Ok then, one more of the coolest tug around. I live under the first tyre. My "home" is under the water. Not that cool when a big ship passes by when you sleep, and the bed is like a coffin. Otherwise: Super. The two windows in the front, is the relaxation/eating-department, and the onewindow'er is the galley. You can reach everything if you stand in the middle of it. The refrigorator, the stove, the dishwasher, the microwave, the sink, you name it. We have washer, and drier. Bathroom(with excellent airconditioning, you open a window and.. yeah..), and shower. The chief and captain have cabins at the galley/messhall-deck. The elite stays below.
The bridge is also pretty tight, with captains chair in the middle, and two others on each side. I get to sit in a small chair in the middle of it all, mostly in the way, hehe! We dont have a hook. Instead we have a winch, the brand is Karmwinch, Karmøy Norway. All in all its a very very nice tug to work on, with good people to work with. Captain Sjur is more of a rally-driver, while captain Trond is more of the calmer type. I have only good thing to say about them, and i cant wait to go out again.
So there you have her, the 1976-buildt supertug:
