Chug Chug
The motor grinds
Gears whirr
The mammoth vessel
with motor of its own
Held fast
Pulled tight
Moved swiftly tho not silently
toward the shore
The mighty tug, tugs.
I’m sure I must have a proper photo of an engine or gears (even if only belonging to a clock) but today they elude me. I have therefore taken a little liberty in my response to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Would like to go on a sailing cruise. But partner reckons it would bore her to bits. There is something about going places without having to seek accommodation and meet time tables, going through customs.

We thought we would be both bored and hating the huge numbers of people but we came away loving it with plans to go on many more cruises. So nice to not have to worry about anything – you have no choice but to totally relax and if your partner reads there are oodles of good places to curl up with a book (I had plans but didn’t end up reading any.)

Hard workers, those tugs. I always liked the tire trims around each boat. Did you get the Little Golden Books in Australia? Remember Scuffy the Tugboat? My sons loved that story.

I don’t really remember them although I can see the images in my head. I’m sure they were here.

Love the pictures and the poem! The bright primary colors of the boats pop on the water. That last shot, though, looks exactly like where I am in Michigan! I know there’d be differences, but my daughter lives on a hillside like that, over looking a channel of Lake Superior. I tried to find a similar shot: http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/thumb/algoway-10-4-01-gl.jpg

Apart from the colour very similar. Something about these kinds of ship. Lovely spot your daughter lives.

Some people here are ship watchers. I think that could be fun.
