This is a Lord Nelson Victory Tug. She's 37 feet l.o.a. and has a single diesel engine.
There's a nice pilot house with a single berth, a double berth in the forward cabin and
a galley/saloon in the aft cabin. For several reasons, I like this boat. I think I'd change
her name to "Fearless." It's a nice powerboat with handsome lines, ... but not a sailboat.
This is Oregon's coastal terrain late in the afternoon. Scrub oaks, green grass, no people and no sales tax.
The Pacific Coastline with calm water as we saw it. Compared to the East Coast there's not
many harbors to secure a boat in bad weather. If you don't find this as an acceptable refuge,
and I don't, the next safe harbor may be 20 or 30 miles away.
