I talk to Capt Carl occasionally. He was less than thrilled at the direction that TF was going and some of the personal attacks by certain members here. Rather than make it an issue on the forum, he decided to leave the forum. I try to get him back when I talk to him but he is adamant.
A couple of years ago he came aboard the tug while we were tied up in Port Newark. He is an interesting person and a great guy, I also wish he would return. I have his phone number but not his email address. If anyone wants it, I would get permission from him to give it out by private message.
