Looking forward to it, CaptLee!
This is an evolution of the 2 day event that used to be held in late July. The single day format which the club started last year keeps the tug drivers and judges busy having fun- particularly for those that enter multiple boats! Having two courses going at the same time makes for a lot of activity on the water for the many spectators who visit the lake. Barges are available, suitable in size for the tugboat you bring- and if you are new to tug events, plenty of friendly advice is given on how to tie the tugs to barges and how to navigate the course! Mark your calendars and get your tugboats ready! This is a fun day at the lake that tugboat enthusiasts should not miss! |

Thanks Aero, between us I think we have it covered but we will see when the others chime in. Am hoping KMOT and Toesup are planning to attend. And any of the Northwest folks would be nice to see. And also should say that people we have not even thought of would round out this deal very well. So will just say:
Come One, Come All but try to bring a tug so playtime is for all!!!!!!!! |

Keith That just shows that Like Minds think Alike. Am wishing you all the best of Luck also. Am considering a run up for the Bellevue Tug in August. For all the rest of you attend either of these and you will not be disappointed. We will try to post photos within a day or so if Myself and others remember to take them.

Think you might make it to the event this year with a tug, Capt Cal?

Was out giving the Springer Barge a bit of a precontest run and figure we will be using them in the 60# configuration. Seems to be a no problemo weight as we were moving it around with no hitches, even put a youngster on the sticks and he was moving it like a pro. too bad that Aero and myself cannot say the same for our efforts, but got some practise on it anyway.

Just a passer-by at the lake who ended up running a boat for about an hour! Maybe we'll see him back at the lake someday with his own boat, you never know! Remember to share the hobby! |
