    Nordic Tug Isn't it?
    Looks like a new stretched cabin version?

    Your right, looking at their website I assume it's the 42. Nice boat, but no outdoor seating space.

    Yup, he's pretty much on top of anything that floats in the PNW.

    A little out of my range:(

    Look at this though...

    More in my price range but I'd still have to have deep pockets to do her justice.

    Even though I've heard that it may have been built in 1907 (there were two Swans and their histories are sometimes mixed) this must be one of the oldest surviving wood hulled tugs in the world.
    What a piece of our west coast history!

    It is a geezer but I think it there are a couple more around that would look down their beards and call it a youngster. The 1889 built Arthur Foss lives on in Seattle. Arthur was the boat used in the original Tugboat Annie film and hauled barges to Skagway during the Alaska Gold Rush. BTW, that is me on the Texas deck during Arthur's first outing after years of layup.

    Here’s an old classic turned into one of the nicest personal yachts I’ve seen “midnight sun”.

    The Midnight Sun is real nice, she's a lot of boat. It took a few years to rebuild.
    Looks like a "eyesore" livaboard in the mix there!
    Nice shot of downtown from Jericho.

    Mostly commercial traffic at this time of the year, with a couple of private boats thrown in...

    That's some rollercoaster in your last batch OMW. Most inventive. What will they think of next?

    It's a lot of fun, but very expensive.
    You will find out in 2012.

    I want to say "Thank you very much for all the great photos."
    I grew up a mile away from Steveston and spent many hours around docks saltwater and shiners, your pics bring back many memories. Now we're living in Victoria BC, love it and have just bought, hopefully, our last boat. A perfectly suited '99 40' Transpacific Eagle. (Ch'aak) I've pretty much got the systems down and now waiting for spring to show up so we can take many lazy cruises around our Gulf Islands. Thanks again and regards.

    Sounds good, a while back I used to take all my vacations cruising between the San Juan Islands, through Dodds Narrows up to Nanaimo and back.
    Lots of beautiful coves, marine parks, pubs and villages to explore.
    Our staple was caught fish, and oysters/clams off the beach. We met lots of people doing the same and even rendezvous with some on an annual basis.

    They are setting a Buoy. You can see it in the second photo (red-white-blue) being lowered into the ocean and floating free in the last one.

    Actually, in the second photo, I thought what was hanging from the crane was an articulating grabing claw that was going to the bottom of the ocean. I didn't realize what I was looking at was indeed the Buoy.

    That’s the weight anchor.
    I took a double take myself before seeing it.
