Okisollo

I tried pm'ing this but apparently you can't attach photos?

I found this photo that I took about 1969 in Fisherman's Cove in West Vancouver. It won't win any points for photography but I thought it might interest you Ted. I may come across more, if so...

I swear that I checked it before posting but there is a disconnect between iPad and this site.

Thanks Xsbank
I appreciate the pictures.
As you can see the flying bridge no longer exists, just a pipe rail ala tugboat
style.
That picture would have been taken showing "as converted to pleasure" .
I like the look now better.

Disconect between i-pad and the site?
I'm on my pad now and most of my posts but I go to my big i-mac to post most pics. Like to do my TF stuff at Starbucks but I'm at Woods Coffee now.

How many pics are there Xsbank? I only see one.

Ted,
I like her grey paint better now. Looked too much like a GB in white. Walking the docks in the early 40's and from then on fish boats are and always been a comfortable sight for me. I like most grays on pleasure boats unlike most other non white colors.
I can see that big winch of yours even in the little avatar.

I have another photo somewhere but it will take a while, I suspect it will surprise me... One photo, I like her look with the bridge but I also like her current look too.

My boat is grey too...

I think Okisollo was a tug originally but that photo was when she was a "yacht." I like the way she looks now and I hope I can track you down this summer - I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours?

Yes, the windlass is still there and still working although so far I've only used it once this year, I've been looking after family matters but this week I will visit the lump and try and find out what needs doing. Poor thing has been a bit neglected, I hope it misses me....

Xsbank,
You're almost right, originally she was built for the army as a compact coastal
combat vessel in 1944. She became a tug in 1946. About 1959 she went to the shipyard
and came out in 1961 as a pleasure boat.

I think I told you I like that girl and will not pass up an opportunity to show her off and link the Kleaman piece.

Xsbank, scroll down a bit, you'll see it.

Such a great looking boat!
