Jeffrey Foss to the rescue

One of my favorite things to do in Sekiu is to monitor the ships with http://www.marinetraffic.com/.  The little ship icons are color coded, green for cargo ships, red for tankers, turquoise for tugs, etc. and are even different sizes indicating whether the ships are large or small.  Or is it a ship vs a boat?  Anyway, a cargo ship was pointing north when it should have been turning east to enter the Straits and was barely moving at 1.1 knots.  The little turquoise icon, the Jeffrey Foss,  headed straight for the stricken ship.  Now the tug is bringing the cargo ship in, chugging along at about 9 knots.  Perhaps a disaster averted by that hardworking tub.  The Jeffrey Foss is stationed in Neah Bay for just this purpose.
