Anyone know if this is normal distance for a tug to pull? We seldom
see pictures of a tug pulling.

Most of the gravel used here on PEI is brought in by barge. From seeing
the tows in the Northumberland Strait in the open ocean the tow in the
photo looks quite normal. One shortens up the tow line as one approaches
the harbour.
