Yesterday was a prime example of the weirdness of the marine assistance biz. The weekend was very quiet. So quiet in fact, that I was able to go to Central Falls to watch my son Will play soccer. Andy did a small job Sunday morning, but other than that, there wasn't anything happening.
Monday should be even deader, right? Same kinda cool, grey weather, a couple showers in the vicinity... not much of a boating day. Well, so much for predictions. I began the day with the 21 Proline at right. As you can judge from the Captain with the red can, the vessel was OOF (that's Out of Fuel, for the acronym-challenged).
Shortly after refilling my jerry can, I was sent right back out to retrieve a 21 Privateer that was broken down off Colt State Park and needed to go back to Brewer's Sakonnet. It was a perfect day for high speed towing, so we averaged 25 knots or so on that run.
On my way back into Wickford, there was more construction happening on the North Breakwater. The crane was laying down more boulders to reinforce the rip rap. I still haven't heard when the USCG is going to re-install the light tower.
