2 ocean tugs towing in tandem a large drilling platform across a rough Atlantic....incredible boats....incredible men. i did a similar tow from the Canary Islands to Brownsville Texas onboard drilling platform as medical doctor. 58 days. 4 kn. 100 miles/day. Columbus and his 3 ships crossed the Atl. faster than us.

I spent years on a ocean going tug. That is a calm sea in my book. Some one needs to get better at securing and lashing stuff down for rough weather. We new that first had being a search and rescue tug. The open ocean wonderful feeling away from all, calming to the mind. At times I wished we would just stay out forever.

The tow rope almost made it's way up over the crash rail at one point. The ship could become anchored over the side in when it's broadside to the swell if it goes to the quarter rail. Happened to us one time when were were pulling anchors. Had to rig an acetlyene torch on the end of a boat hook and burn it off. We couldn't get the cable back and the wind was picking up. It wasn't pretty.
