New Boat
Posted By: Jimbo, 05-07-2009, 08:31 PM

Was heading down to check out the bridge that I have taken a few pictures of and someone came over to ask what I was doing. Taking pictures of coarse! He asked "Ok then, can you take a picture of my new boat [he owns 6] and send him a picture". Here is what I will send him. The lighting was very poor! The owner told me it cost close to 3 million to build and gear up. He has been at it for 40 years. Cool guy and he said to keep checking out the area and he would take me out to get some other photo's. I am going to take him up on that. JIM

I think he will be very happy with those Jim.
Its a bit difficult tied up to the wharf, but I think you have done well.

Nice one Jim. It'll be cool if he takes you out one day.

I would love that. I have been on this river many times fishing but working a tug that would be a blast. JIM
