There are all kinds of pleasure boats in the marina in Sturgeon Bay, but I tend to be drawn to the working ships, boats, and tugs like the Susan L.
Only two more days, and it is getting “Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice. . . . . Would she be satisfied and understand more if she would visit CDP bloggers on September Theme Day?
Yes, I prefer these boats much more then the luxury ones.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a working boat would not like to be called cute...but it IS! :)
ReplyDeleteTug boats have a very distinctive look to them.
ReplyDeleteFunny. Different colors. Ours here are all maroonish, deep reds.
ReplyDeleteThis is about as perfect a description of the Protestant work ethic that I've seen or read in a long time...a tugboat to which you are drawn as you are to other "working" boats. How do people like us ever really relax? Can we ever achieve a true state of "nothingness" where we can do absolutely nothing and feel good about it? I'm making some assumptions about you here, but I'll bet I'm right! Heh, heh!
ReplyDeletevery cool.
ReplyDeleteWe vacationed in Door County practically every summer. I loved seeing the old familiar tugboat!
ReplyDeleteI like to see a tug boat too!

ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's my kind of boat!
ReplyDeleteThere is something pure, simple, functional and utilitarian about vessels like tugboats. I understand your preference completely.
ReplyDeleteI am drawn to the working boats as well. When I lived near Portsmouth, N.H. there were lots of tugs and I loved to see them. Here, we have fishing/lobster boats and sailboats. I love the colour of your tug.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a hard worker.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like she's got a lot of character.
