A squall off Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera.
My days at sea on ships ended a long time ago, but I spend about 4 months per year on a small trawler since I retired in 2020. 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.
That’s a heck of a shot
Who is driving this tug?:
It’s the tug master. (At least like the Engineers think they are)

And in the engine room…
After getting three (3) cartoon+meme threads locked, can we keep this one to legit pics please?
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.
My son docking the ferry. He picked it up fairly quickly.
Arriving at Pilottown on a foggy morning
Wikipedia says - Pilottown (or Pilot Town) is an unincorporated community and ghost town in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States. It serves as a base for river pilots to guide ships across the bar and up and down the Mississippi River. As of 2020, there is no permanent residential population in the community.
A ghost town!! I wasn’t even scared!
When I was in M.E.B.A. ships the Second Mate was at the stern for making fast/casting off. 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. Took me all morning at sea, ate lunch and went to the bridge for watch. The Cadet took the photos for me -
No riggers vise back there.
