The Captain of this barge radioed us and asked us to move our houseboat out of the channel to the otherside of the channel bouys. He was making a turn with the channel and the going was kind of tight. He assured us that the water was clear on the outside of the channel markers where we were at. The video kind of captures the size and power of the barges and the tug.

Downstream boats …
Downstream boats have right of way because it is harder to control 15-30 barges going with the current as opposed to running against it.
Glad you enjoy the river.I do too or I wouldn’t work on it so much.
