Yeah not a good way to start off a deal.

I caught her leaving Philly and being towed into Tampa while I was on vacation down in FL.

I only got a shot of her on the Delaware back on 2/14.

I saw her departing Tampa on ais the other day, must be back in service. Did you get any pictures in Tampa?

No, no pictures in Tampa. Saw her from a distance. I'm almost positive it was her though. I didnt know at that point that she had to be towed there. When I saw her I had to do a double because I knew she was going to Texas, not Tampa.
