The barge that is a floating hotel that resides at our marina from September to June just left for Stuart Island - a privately owned island that is part of the Discovery Islands. The tug came in and promptly ran aground and had to wait for full high tide. Then they had to pull the barge out by her stern because there was not enough room between the barge and our boat for the tug to manoeuvre. After a bit of naval gymnastics to switch the lines from stern to bow, she was on her way...
Aground Just off the Barge
Manoeuvring to Aft of Barge at Full High Tide
Pulling the Barge Away by the Stern
Quickly Coming Around to the Bow After Letting
Go Aft Lines
Connecting Tow Lines at the Bow
Turned Around and Off to Stuart Island
