may be a moot point if the boat has to be entombed in Yucca Mountain for the next 1000 years because 'Bird couldn't keep the water on. :p

Spoke to Bird late this afternoon....He was piloting the Tug back to the dock and he had a certain "glow" to him... I'm in Savannah, Georgia right now(thankfully), you may want to consider travel this weekend as well!!

Don't pick on the Mayor, it's probably the diesel fumes.

The tug ride was cool. Has to be my best day at work in 21 years since I've been there!! Real working boat, don't have to worry about any spider kaka on that one.

Looks like our intake structure had a run-in with a very heavy anchor. 1/2 inch stainless steel plates with 13/16" bolts sheared clean off and plate double back on itself. This wasn't any fish-head boat. Figure it was an even larger tug than we were on that goes out there to inject "Clamtrol". Stuff kills the zebra mussels. Our tug was 50 foot, the bigger tug that usually goes out there is 80 foot.

We'll be taking to that skipper. :mad:
