Anyone got info on the western towboat that hit a nav aid? And the Boyer tug that ran aground somewhere near wake island?
Wind blew our barge on a day marker…new capt. No damage except a bent marker.
Oh, someone is talking about Wake Island.
I spent a few days there.

Sounds like its not a great place for a tug and barge.

My experience with this sort of thing is there is often some injury to one’s pride as well.

OK - OK - So I closed the steam to the live generator - what’s a little whoopsie. Gives the Bridge a little poop in their pants.

WESTERN RANGER was towing a barge out of Honolulu that took out a day mark last month. It was very windy, and he didn’t have an assist boat.

Gotta keep those guys on their toes; or awake, anyway. . .
Sorry but I gotta ask…what the FUCK is out government wasting money we don’t have on out there in that God Forsaken nowheresville?
They have some dirty dirt they don’t want there anymore. Around 7,000 tons worth I guess. Must be from all this ww2 oil-changes where the island was the oil pan.
