Subscribe to RSS FeedThe past week was really a routine week, jobs-wise. Nothing really extraordinary or interesting, just your basic meat-n-potatoes, run-of-the-mill engine failures, minor groundings and the like. Below are some photos.
The Trphy below went home quickly from Beavertail.
This Larson went back to the Fort Adams ramp from the south end of Prudence. Seems like the Ft. Adams Ramp is getting more popular, as I've been in there 4 times already this year. It's usually a once or twice per season kinda place.
I volunteered to be the Pt. Judith Captain on Saturday, as both my kids were playing in the Goals 4 Rams 6v6 soccer tournament at URI that day, and I hoped it would be quiet enough that I could take in a couple of their games. Last year, I tried the same thing and didn't see minute 1 of them playing; this year was totally different, and the schedule was in my favor. As it turned out, each kid played 4 games, and I managed to see 6 of the 8. One was missed due to a tow job, and one was missed because both kids were playing simultaneously. Both kids' teams won all their games, everyone had a blast, and dad got to watch most of it, which is a rarity for a towboat driver in high season.
Below is a member lightly in the mud just off his slip at Billington Cove Marina in PJ Pond. I nosed up to his port quarter, attached one of my bow lines, and slowly back him into deeper water.
As soon as I was done with him, I went further up the pond, just above The Narrows, to get this little Stingray and take him and his family back to the PJ Yacht Club.
Sunday morning started grey and a little choppy, but that didn't slow down another (!) tow into the aforementioned Fort Adam Ramp. Go figure.
This Old Town was over by Zeke's Creek, on the Dutch Harbor side of Conanicut. He went back to a private mooring on the Jamestown shore.
There was an interesting job on Monday that will get it's own post by the end of the week. It involves a 76' motoryacht. Stay tuned!
