Thanks for the pictures Jeroen.
I'm afraid that a lot of harbours will refuse "Tres Hombres" coming
in without an engine aboard.

They will probably use a small boat to push her when in harbor. Just
a guess.

Maybe the need tugs.


Joevan is right,

they use a small boat to push her when there's no wind to get into the
harbour. Otherwise they wait out the wind.

Regards,

Jeroen

Those small boats were called yawl boats in Maine.

I remember the Mary Day used one as she had no engine.


Can you sing that song, or is it a poem;-)
