Santa Cruz Island during a lightening storm. Photo from a buddy in his sailboat anchored next to me. The clearing winds started several hours after this pic was taken and I had to pull anchor at midnight when I started dragging. Scary at the time, but good memories. ---

Photography at sea is the subject and that photo was taken on the bridge of a tug. What more do you want? PS\> Not sure if the tug was “at sea” or in port at the time though. ---

It serves as a base for [river pilots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_River_Pilot "Mississippi River Pilot") to guide ships across the bar and up and down the [Mississippi River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_River "Mississippi River"). As of 2020, there is no permanent residential population in the community. A ghost town!! I wasn’t even scared! ---

When I signed aboard I told the Chief Mate I had a bad mooring wire eye back there (“Liberty Wave”). To my surprise I was the only one who knew how to splice wire. Young S.I.U. unlicensed gang.
