Good morning, tis been a bloody long night. Now sitting in a lock in Antwerp waiting for our tugs. At least the sun is coming up but it's a tad chilly.

@S-Westerly

When the tugs are on, do you also move under your own steam whilst the tugs tow you into position, or is it just the tugs that do all the work?

Morning all - Race day today and we have a corporate invite (including lunch)!

I'm going with tugs, otherwise you could end up with a tug being dragged somewhere it might not want to go although they a powerful little things they are small and have a small footprint and purchase on the water, that tanker whilst slow will be way way more powerful.

 

But I'm just a land lubber who points at things at sea and goes ohhhhh that's big....ohhhhh that's fast..... Why is that sinking

No we also use the engines. The tugs aren't really powerful enough to pull us effectively on their own. What they do is control the ends so we can turn in small spaces or pin the ship and control angles or stop quicker.

Off to view. a bike in a bit.

I of course will be sensible, give it a good going over and come to a considered decision….. 

Or maybe not

Cheers, I was hoping you'd say that, as that's how I imagined it.

Can't believe it's November and I've managed to mow the lawns. Don't think that's ever been possible before 

[Simon Davey]

@Tiggie Please can you do mine? You can use my ride on mower, I just don't have time

[Takanta]

Do mine too.
