Haven’t voted in a while, just doing a lot besides visiting our great forum. Luckily I caught this boat theme just in time. Great entries!

It's an honor for my boat to be chosen for the EOTM award against such great competition - many thanks!

I have to admit, being a toy steam fan at heart... my vote went to your Cranko. And if it does go down like the Titanic, I will be the first one diving down to retrieve it!

It was a very close race with the tug "Jan", who actually held the lead for the majority of the month. The photo of "Jan" was beautiful and very well shot, but I think your's may have pulled ahead being it displays the steam plant very well.

Has it ever been on the water? Would love to see a video

jkbixby · « **Reply #27 on:** November 01, 2019, 10:45:30 am »

It's been on the water but I didn't take a video - more worried about running it onto the rocks like I did my Envoy tug (I do have a video of that - it's at the very end).

Nick · « **Reply #28 on:** November 01, 2019, 11:59:38 pm »

Eeek!

Glad you were able to laugh it off... probably better to have another person there for the filming

jkbixby · « **Reply #29 on:** November 02, 2019, 06:44:21 am »

Actually I probably should stay away from the water with boats altogether - that tug is the same one that another time almost went to the bottom during launching when I slipped on the rocks and it took a literal nosedive into the water. It has since joined my son/grandson's collection and has had no further mishaps. Come to think of it my Imara tug has yet to see the water and the Victoria I'm building may not either - safer that way!
