Working on that tug was a strange position for me.
We towed a pair of barges from Houston to Georgia for the navy.
It took almost 2 weeks. This a single engine tug with only a small
electric wench. The 1,000 foot 4 inch tow lines had to handled by hand by
me and a deckhand. We coiled them on the deck as the little wench pulled
them in. Twice, once at Key West, where we stopped for supplies and fuel,
and again when we arrived off the coast of Georgia.
