This afternoon, Herb and I went out on a 36' boat. A bit different from what either of us are used to, this is the towboat used by Rick, the local TowBoatUS operator. The plan is to use the boat this weekend as the committee boat for a sailboat race. Herb asked if I'd be interested in going along; Rick will be sailing, and they are looking for someone to man this boat... more as a chase boat than an actual committee boat.
Here's Herb at the helm...
And, coming in to Herb's dock...
Yep, definitely different. Single screw with a rudder; prop in a tunnel. Sure doesn't handle like Wild Blue.
On edit: here's a shot that shows the boat better, courtesy of Herb's wife, Wilma...
