I think he means the Jersey that New Jersey is named after. As in Jersey, Channel Isles, sort of UK/ (it isn't actually part of the UK, it is owned by the Queen and has a different status).

But in any case, have a great time, Tractorman. Jersey is a fine place for a holiday. I sometimes take the boat over there and we always have a good time.  :thumbs:

Post by: Capt. Matt on July 10, 2009, 21:01:04

Well here we simply refer to NEW Jersey (where I live) as Jersey...so in my mind he was not clear ::)

Title: Re: Going to Jersey for 5 dayz
Post by: --tractorman-- on July 18, 2009, 16:36:26

Oh I thought you meant in the background, its a little tug

Title: Re: Going to Jersey for 5 dayz
Post by: Capt. Matt on July 18, 2009, 16:40:32

Oh wow your tugs over there are allot different from ours ;) I had no clue what that was other than that it looked like the tug in the game ours are so different :P

Title: Re: Going to Jersey for 5 dayz
Post by: --tractorman-- on July 18, 2009, 16:42:59

Tugs here do vary

Title: Re: Going to Jersey for 5 dayz
Post by: Sam on July 18, 2009, 17:14:33

The fifth picture clearly isn't a tug.

Where do you think the towing cable goes when the ship turns?
Nowhere, biceaus it will get stuck at those mooring points on the stern.

So it can't be a tug, unless if a retard designed it. ;)
