Hey Carl, I know what you mean on the big red ship. When we were out last Saturday, they towed it there and he dropped anchor right next to us. We were about 100 yds. or so away. They really messed me up on the turn around, however 10 mins. after the anchor dropped we nailed a 6lb. keeper right next to him, 100 yds. or so away. That rusty-assed anchor chain sure made a racket coming down! It is amazing how those big ships swing around in the wind and the tide. Kinda' fun being in and amongst them however, makes me feel like I am sitting in a bucket. I can only imagine in your boat how small they make you feel! I can say too, that the waves these big tugs push out sent water over my bow, pretty big. You must get a real E-ticket ride, ya?
