Day 7 away from the sixth boro had found me quite desperate. I’d started to see tugs everywhere although of an unfamiliar sort: carved into quartz monzonite,
on road signs, and
even along the South Carolina/Georgia state line on my road atlas !
So imagine my joy today when I finally met face-to-face longtime friend of the tugster blog, JED, who invited me onto C-Tractor 12 to see
tugs at work doing what could never be seen in the boro up north where supposedly I carry the title of mayor. Here in the St Johns River, C-Tractor 12 and C-Tractor 5 assist USS Klakring (FFG 42) as it heads for sea.
More from Mayport soon. Many thanks to JED for the tour.

If you are bouncing in and around Cumberland Island, say hello for me. I spent a great summer after college there tracking manatees. A beautiful place.

Thank god for Mayor Will, he makes me smile!
Or, as a boss at work once said about a miscreant, “He may be a nut, but he’s our nut!”
