Tugboat goes under... but survives

Post by Rick F »

Amazing sequence of pictures of a tugboat that goes under a bridge that didn't open -- and survives!

Note to self: In future, try to aim for part that raises in the middle! :shock: :D
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

My 26 foot sailboat is a Norwegian "folk boat" designed to pass thrugh a wave if the boat fails to lift enough in time and emerge without shipping too much water.
Two deck hatches are lexan and with no sliding hatch and two large drains in the cockpit, I would hope to survive a 60' plus breaking wave but pray I never have to. :shock:
We pronounce it Guf Coast
