We had another great tow Tuesday of the beautiful 45' troller Nez Perce, from Liberty Bay to Port Townsand, for a haul out and repower. The view is of our rear-view camera in the wheelhouse.

TUGBOAT HOSPITALITY! We stopped in Ladysmith, BC to check on the progress Casy Haynes has made working on the rehabilitation of NANIMO TILLICUM. Casey was very gracious. Not only did we get a complete tour, but a ride to the local Market as well! Well done! Perhaps she will again visit Olympia Harbor Days in a few years and race again.
Thank you Casey!
