https://www.awoogatug.com/log.html What's changed aboard AWOOGA, the hand-built 14'3" mini tugboat: new pages, work on the boat, days on the water and press. en-us Wed, 02 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://www.awoogatug.com/log.html#e-2026-09-02-1 https://www.awoogatug.com/log.html#e-2026-09-02-1 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT The site Every page now marks the first mention of a dictionary word — gunwale, bollard pull, hawser — with a quiet dotted underline that opens the definition where you're standing. The Tugboat Dictionary had 51 terms and no way of reaching you until you went looking for it. (Read the dictionary: https://www.awoogatug.com/glossary.html) https://www.awoogatug.com/log.html#e-2026-09-02-2 https://www.awoogatug.com/log.html#e-2026-09-02-2 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT The site A project log is written in pieces — the story, the steps, the photos, the parts, the revisions — and they don't all get finished on the same day. Each section now carries its own public switch, so a half-written log can go up with the finished half showing and nothing lost from the draft.

Tap the bow, the horn or the transom and you get that zone's history. The pins are plain links, so it works with the scripts turned off.

The Yard is the never-finished tug's project log: repairs, upgrades, revisions, experiments and the parts they ate, each one written up with what went wrong and what it cost.

It's an ordinary page on the main site now — same panoramas, same five stations, with the site's header, footer and search around it.
