Tug Rapid Bear - Nanaimo Harbour.
This little tug could be the 'star' in a children's TV show about tug boats based in Nanaimo Harbour. There would need to be a 'Harbour Master' & I'm looking at you LLM.

I'm really old... so there are probably very few members on here who can relate to my childhood memories of playing, over and over again, our family's 78 rpm recording of 'Little Toot'. I was modern enough to know that 78s were stone age... 45s, with the insertable centre, were much cooler. Little tugs like this are cute enough and tough enough that they just lend themselves to David and Goliath narratives.  |

Everyone needs a retirement hobby.  But the odd thing is, I think it's been over 5 years (probably longer) since I've done any Nanaimo harbour photography, probably longer. It's not a place where I feel safe and comfortable. Years ago, I used to love doing dusk photography of the Gabriola ferry arriving at its Nanaimo berth. These days, I prefer the more predictable risks of an old timber trestle in the woods. |

I was modern enough to know that 78s were stone age... 45s, with the insertable centre, were much cooler. Little tugs like this are cute enough and tough enough that they just lend themselves to David and Goliath narratives. I was actually thinking about the old kids Canadian TV show Theodore Tugboat. I used to watch this with my son Ben 25 years ago when he was about age 5. (When I was a kid we only had the Friendly Giant in B&W, just so you know ...) Theodore Tugboat featured a bunch of tugboats and the amiable 'Harbourmaster', who was played by the late Denny Doherty, once a member of the great 60's pop group The Mommas & the Popas.
