Tugster in the tropics . . .? Some quick posts.
Bahia de San Juan, looking towards the Crowley yard from old San Juan. No Crowley equipment, but that’s New Ranger.
Looking east, it’s Bounty and Carnival Victory.

Kites aka chiringas get played on the wind over Castillo de San Felipe del Morro.

That ferry Cayo Largo was built at blount in RI, assisiting in the launch was my first day of work on Tug Jaguar out of New Bedford.
