TUFF-E-NUFF to be placed this Monday January 17, 2011

The original post on the placement date for TUFF-E-NUFF read TUFF-E-NUFF to be placed this Sunday January 16, 2011.

The date has changed at the request of a group asking for more time. TISIRI has been able to extend the stay an additional day. Unfortunately, the request comes at a penalty. The sea conditions for Monday are:

SUNDAY
 NORTHEAST WINDS 5 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET. SMOOTH ON
 THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS.

MONDAY
 EAST WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET. A LIGHT
 CHOP ON THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS. CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

TUESDAY
 SOUTH WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS. SEAS 3 TO 4 FEET. CHANCE OF
 SHOWERS.

There is a loss of resources, such as personnel and equipment yet I feel the documentary will come out ok. Stay tuned, come watch, and take picture of TUFF-E-NUFFs last days ‘on’ the water. She is over 105 years old, a 19th century TUG, build back in 1895. To find out where she will be this weekend, feel free to contact me for up to date information.

I will be onsite Saturday and Sunday January 15-16, 2010.
As of Sunday January 16, 2011 NOAA Sea conditions reported:

MONDAY
SOUTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS INCREASING TO 15 TO
 20 KNOTS IN THE AFTERNOON. SEAS 3 TO 4 FEET WITH A DOMINANT
