Just to put you in the Picture of what's going on with the tow, it's a four man team, three tugs & a Pilot,
coming out of the lock there is two tugs tetherd to the tow, bow tug & stern tug, the Pilot then lets the
stern tug go, that tug then becomes free running, The Pilot then controlles the team round the course &
back to Port without hitting any bouys.

Good luck.

John
PS vidio to follow.

The San George SD 14 is back safe in Port. This is why we at Balne Moor say if you have not got a tug still
come along & have a go, you could be a Pilot for the day

well theres always 2014.

All the best

John Balne moor mbc.

Well done
