12. Tug Life: Tugboat Operator- Megan Emerson

A very pleasant, informative interview, and a must listen for boaters who sail in waters with tugboats!  Megan and I discuss her Alaskan background, what got her into tug boats, and some of the near misses and not-so-near misses that occur when pushing tens of thousands of tons of barges.  We get into what everyday life and work is like on continually operating Columbia River Tugs and even touch on some environmental issues towards the end.
