We were stuffed up the stern by a big tug on the Basy in 2000. Split cant and top of tank. I just got out the sledgey, welder and P40! Name? and shame http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/T00_Imag/Bbigtug.jpg The nameless 58ft tug that we went down most of Deep Cut Flight with. Powered by unstoppable Gardner 3LW! It was steered by committee, no one seemed to know where neutral was on the speed wheel! -- Neil Arlidge - NB Kerbsiderepairs Read about the TNC Irish travels at: http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/Tour_07/index.html Defend The Waterways: http://www.saveourwaterways.org.uk/
