65. Bowen 2

TUGS We had actually met the engineer of this tug at lunch further up the coast & he had invited us to catch up when we were in town. These boats are huge & from memory I think they were about 370 tonnes each. They are the harbour response tugs & generally assist coal loaders a little further north to berth. In theevent of storm ravaged or cyclone swept swells these are the guys that are going to come to your assistance if needed.

HORSESHOE BAY We fell in love with Bowen; not a huge town, still quite oldish & the locals were easy going & friendly.

BOWEN MATES Matt is never afraid to spark up a convo. This gent comes down to the boat ramp whenever he likes to enjoy a cool one.
