Over the past two summers we completed the Down East Circle Route on our 37′ Nordic Tug named “Tug’n”. Here are a series of photos from the two summers. I hope a few might be of interest to your readers.

If you are not familiar with our Photo of the Week album, it’s an opportunity for you to share your fine photos with the boating nation. (One is fine- we don’t need dozens.lol)
The rules are simple. It has to be your shot taken in and around boats or from a boat. Or anything else boat related. Or anything you feel is appropriate – sunsets, regattas dock parties – whatever you’ve found interesting.
