A while back I had a technical conference in St.Paul. The conference was Tuesday/Wednesday. We like the area, so we pulled off Monday as vacation and made a short 3-day weekend vacation. We've been here once before, so we had some places to re-visit and some new ones to explore. Sketching during a vacation can be a tough assignment. Time is short. However, I did find some time at a neat casual restaurant right on the Mississippi River edge that I could sketch. Then I simply listed the places we went, as a memory jogger.
While we were chilling out, a new tug came upriver and lingered around some barges next to the restaurant. The tug never exactly halted, but was slow enough for me to put together a rough sketch. These new tugs amaze me! This one had two engines and was not noisy and yet could probably push the Empire State Building down the river. Such understated power.
