Washburn & Doughty burned Friday. It makes state of the art tugs and was
filling a contract for MORAN.

This is a terrible blow to Maine and the east coast tug boat industry.

Awful stuff. I hope the insurance helps get things right.

Joevan, nice to see TeraNews running. They are going to rebuild. The smoke
could be seen in Portland and that's about 100 miles.

Yes it is. It has been a real downer for about 11 days. Even now it is
a bit tricky. But then for free I guess I should not complain too
much.
Glad to hear they will rebuild and this time I hope they have more
safeguards in place.
