If they don't hurry up it might sink before it gets in with the weather forecast the way it is
Might be more popular as a dive site

The Insurance Premium will have to be "adjusted" before she comes into the River I suspect :o

I should have written Steering/ Brake Tug, when the Paddles were at Stop they really dug in, although I can't say I was on the good ship John H when the TCC Floating Crane was moved where she acted as Stern Tug judging by photographs I have seen.

And they all breathed a sigh of relief Patrick, now for Phase 2. I would love to see the proposal drawings before the Company who are doing the conversion goes Bankrupt! Surprised the Dutch are not doing the conversion themselves.

Yes, I bet Griffin Towage are very glad this Tow is now over. GT VICTORY is now making best speed to her next job in Stellendam, Netherlands.
