Back in September I caught this tug on its way to the races. I wondered where it lived.
Finally I put it together with this shot I took last February, although back then it had no orange band on forestarboard bulwark.
Same vessel, though. Anyone know the name/function of the structure extending upward from the stem?
Long splice, what it sounds like here.

Hi Tugster – thought I would point you to the question at

regarding what these folks describve as mysterious ‘boat noises’. I was going to tell them this is probably commercial traffic going up and down the Buttermilk. But who better than you to enlighten them… cheers,
