Around here, in Cascadia, it's called a boom boat for butting logs into booms, or sorting them for the mill and such like. (boom is from Dutch for pole, closest English word is 'beam'). Definitely not a pleasure boat...

So me calling it a river log boom tug is pretty close...

Beauty is only skin deep.
Ugly goes all the way to the bone.

You guys are heartless.....it's Scuffy's Aunt!
Next thing I bet is you'll tell me is this girl's too fat and she's trashy because she drinks blended whiskey!

She's far from
too fat, and there's nothing wrong with trashy on a sailboat. I don't drink whiskey, so she can have my allotment, blended or otherwise.
Just don't tell the admiral.
Wait - what were we talking about?

Her PFDs are asymmetric, my only objection.

They're designed that way on purpose. If you fall in face first you will automatically roll over to be face up so you can breathe.
Or so I heard.

She can drink whiskey with me on or off my boat anytime she wants as long as she brings two bottles one for the boat & one for on shore !!
She can also suport me on the water while I rest my chin on !
