???? The tug does what the pilot tells him to do. All the tug can see is the side of the ship. Unless the tug operator fell asleep or had a...
Couldn't email, sent you a PM, and yes, multiple times.
7-8 kts may see 18 on both, might make 9 on 22 in glass smooth water. Don't forget about that genny running 24/7 either....

How do the crew get to the foredeck to handle anchors and lines? Are those windows on the front of the house at the foredeck? They'll have to be...
