Random Tugs 148

See that tug over there?   This photo comes from Asher Peltz, and I’m very grateful . . .

because I was seeing the tow from this angle, quite backlit, but

fascinated nonetheless, given the load

on Marmac 300 . . . parts of the turbine bases for units 3, 4, and 5 of 5.   See the base for unit 1 here.  At the pace the tow is moving, it’s barely to Montauk as of this posting.  By the way, for scale, the tug is 97.7 ‘ loa.

Here’s Stephen B in a logical though unlikely location.

nestled between Manhattan Elite and Celestial.

Dean Reinauer sidled over to my part of the Kills, and I got a good look.  Thanks.

This Dean has been at work for just over two years.  Click here to see–along with some other departed vessels– the previous Dean Reinauer, currently in Nigeria under different ownership.

Bluefin appears to have just been painted, as the lettered Kirby logo has not  been applied.

The last time–I think–Bluefin was on this blog she was still gray.

Here’s Robert Burton in yesterday’s strange pre-rain light and here

at dawn yesterday interestingly backlit though not quite.  A couple of years ago, I caught her down in Morehead City.

All photos taken yesterday.  Thanks to Asher for the lead photo here.
