Bwahahahahah ... After 7 years of owning and operating my own tug I sold
it last month and now run a 35m 6000 hp yacht (jetboat) in Florida.
Tugboat trash no more G

TPI = 1/35 (A x1/12) =A/420 where A is the

I've known and sailed with quite a few Master Mariners, and Joe, you
will never have the horsepower, the skills, or the attitude to hold that
honorarium ... it is one that is earned. Come back when you have a real

respect to real master mariners, like Otn, who seem to make you so
jealous.
