Action Tug

One of the interesting things here is the water view and what can happen out there. We have seen big ship situations where small boats are often getting in the way, this time a big ship is in trouble.  This one was heading in when a malfunction has occurred. A tug has since come along and had a rope attached to the stern and in the mean time the anchor has been dropped forward. So that means it can be turned on its spot completely around the anchor point at the front.  This operation took an hour or so as I went down to the beach while it was happening.  It seems the main problem is manoeuvering as it is now limping back where it came with the tug as escort.
