Tugboat #2

Tugboat #2

Good evening friends!  I had two requests asking to see what the other tugboat looked like that is in front of the Sea Aquarium at 165 feet.  This is the only real shot I have of it, they are so big that it’s super tough to get them in a horizontal photo but will be trying again.  The front of this boat is sitting just a few feet from a wall that goes straight down to thousands of feet!  I have seen these tugs from the comfort and safety of the mini-sub and have seen parts of the wall as I went down to 500 feet on my last sub dive, and let me tell you that was cool!!  This is my friend Marco above the boat and Hans over to the left, both are Dive Masters and Instructors so I’m not kidding when I say I am in good hands down there. 
 
Our car died last night and had to be towed to a garage this morning, no idea what is wrong yet and as busy as the garage was we may not know for a few days!  The neighbors have been great, one lent me a spare vehicle to use today and another made me some home-made split pea soup.  I pretty much just stayed here all day not doing too much of anything.  I went to get some ice cubes out of the freezer today and couldn’t even pull the tray out, so I proceeded to spend the next two hours defrosting the freezer!  What a job, I used a blow dryer and it worked great although I made a serious mess! 
 
Aimee and Emily are still with the stranded whale, I know nothing more than that!  I was able to take the dogs on a one hour hike to the beach this morning besides getting rained on we all had a great time!  We still have the puppy no time to find her a home lately or pursue the leads we have.
 
The eye is doing great I have to go back to see the doctor on the 22nd.  See you tomorrow, Barry
