Move over, Captain Rodriguez! At the Pacific Marine Expo, I picked up some unfamiliar periodicals, such as Work Boat, Boats & Harbors, and Western Maritime, Inc..

It was Western Maritime’s website the led me to discover the enchanting tug skipper’s log at Campbell Maritime. The picture above shows one of their tugs, with owner/skipper Brian Campbell hard at work on some critical boat maintenance project, no doubt. Last night, I stayed up too late reading the past four months worth of entries.

How is this tug captain’s log relevant to “gear and gadgets for cruisers”? Um…well…sometimes they have to move big yachts around, so I guess it counts! Anyway, I enjoy it, so now it’s on my own personal list of daily sites to visit.
