After spending a full decade as main engineer on a tugboat, and being named as is...

All terrific entries made choosing just 1 quite difficult. In the end I went with the tug.

Yep, that tug is mighty hard to resist, plowing up the water just like it should.

Always been a sucker for action shots, especially really good ones like this!
