A cool exhaust report .


What sort of work does Maisie do? Fast, but armored with tires like a
tug.

Nice pictures.

An educated guess since she is a stranger to this region -

Up from the LA area where most commercial craft are built and
overhauled these days . She headed up river after she exited the Canal
perhaps with specialty parts for one of the dredges we have working,
deepening the Delaware River .

Crew on board are trained for their task and the boat can tie right up
to the vessel they are working on with the tires as bumpers .

Where ever she was going , we can assume that it was cheaper to send
her here than send the broken vessel down south .

However , sending her up here is still costing someone a " pretty
penny ".
