My god that must take a lot of skill! Wow! That raft of barges has a mind
of its own. So does the water current and the wind. It is amazing to me
how they keep from being overwhelmed by all the forces acting against them
and run ashore or hit a bridge, etc. They really earn their living don't
they?


Indeed they do!! And through the whole passby, I heard the engines change
speed a time or two, but nothing that would have indicated an UH-OOOH from
the bridge!
