We went back to Grief Point about 7 PM this evening. A tug boat had a line on the still grounded barge and was busy pulling it side to side to slowly work it off the rocks. The wind was still blowing from the North West which meant the tug had to buck the wind as well as keep a taut line so the barge could be pulled away from the beach as soon as it floated clear. The plan worked and about 7:20 both tug and barge were on their way. Not sure where they were going but we have a feeling the tug boat skipper would be glad to get as far away from Powell River as he could get. A pair of eagles came along to watch the proceedings. There were lots of human birds there as well.
