Just out! Tug sank at dock and spilling fuel

I was just watching the news and saw a tug had sank spilling gallons of oil and diesel. You would think that boat owners who are moared would keep an eye on there boats. I hope they have insurance

With this weather and road conditions who can make it out to check on their moorage? That's terrible about the spill and it's effects. hopefully a spill recovery team can make a speedy response. :tongue:

Can you imagine walking down the ramp to check on your boat? I fell twice just walking out to my truck this morning. I did the dog toss and she went almost a block. :tongue:

weird, I had a dream last night that I was keeping my boat at a morrage and as I approached the docks, boats and docks started sinking from all the ice build up. It was very scary and seemed so real. I could hear the mooring ropes stretch and snap as the boats sank.

The tug sank at McCuddys, 33rd and marine Drive. KGW.com has the story. Lot of diesel in the water.
