Everyone needs help … Even huge ships!

Everyone needs a bit of help or guidance … even huge ships!

Living on the Sacramento River Delta is a delight. We see the present day’s weather on the water, abundant wildlife, and much water traffic. The contrast of nature’s river otters and ocean ship commerce is shocking.

Just yesterday a huge bulk-carrier ship went past, headed to the Pittsburg docks. The large and heavy ship needed two tugs to guide it into the dock. One tug led the way, and the other was tethered to the ship’s rear, to slow the ship when needed. Tugs are so necessary to help fit huge ships into tight slips and safely navigate the narrow river channel. It is hard to believe that the thin cable from the tug to a huge ship could even take the strain when needed.
 
These last few months have brought strains to our lives, from social distancing, loss of normal events and places, to real questions about where to go for what you need.
 
Maybe like the huge ships, you might need a little help? Please give us a call if we can help or guide you!
