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.

Did he say JERSEY or NEW JERSEY?

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #8 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

Some shipping images from my trip

Some shipping images from my trip, fairly restricted of what I could do due to I couldn't go to the harbour its self and on the ferry its kinda hard..

History of the sailing going to Guernsey, the squiggly line.

Hope you enjoy, I have more of some things if you want them and ask questions if you like!

That one boat that us the pic the pic under the fast ferries stern what is that?

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #15 on:** July 18, 2009, 15:25:58 »

Picture number?

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** July 18, 2009, 16:07:30 »

5th from the top just a plain boat what is it?

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2009, 16:21:09 »

Oh its just a little sailing boat

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #18 on:** July 18, 2009, 16:28:26 »

Oh I thought it kinda looked like our harbor tug

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2009, 16:36:26 »

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

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #20 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

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #21 on:** July 18, 2009, 16:42:59 »

Tugs here do vary

Sam · « **Reply #22 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.

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #23 on:** July 18, 2009, 17:16:40 »

Point taken, dunno what it is...

*looks it up*

Seems to be a small freight vessel

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #24 on:** July 18, 2009, 17:18:37 »

Ahh lol sam
Then its an odd looking freight vessel...ever heard of a barge
