Find a profession you love and you’ll never have to “work“ a day in your life. I really appreciate the passion you have for your profession.

Yesterday on pool 4 I watched a 15 heading south and remarked we don't see that very often. Those 7 are wider than the whole channel up here...pretty impressive moving that lump around. Thanks for sharing Capt. !!!!!

I'm here at Vicksburg. The river is beautiful when it's low and slow with miles of sandbars. When it's high, I've seen many a boat make the turn at Delta Point and barely make it under the bridges Southbound.👍

Quite impressive. I enjoy these videos... my grandfather used to be a captain on his pushboat when he worked for Blessey Marine Services... my dad also worked on barges too for a few years before he joined the Army in 1991... now he drives a truck with a dump hopper trailer.

Hey skipper I don’t know what the surgery is for but wish you all the best. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time and look forward to a lot more of them. Grew up on the upper Ohio and alway been around the river is what drew me to your videos. Thanks buddy and again Good Luck. 👍👍🙂

Thank you and glad you enjoy. My first watches turned loose as a young pilot were running that upper end of Ohio. We would turn southbound around Weirton, WV area and run down to Cairo. I love that Ohio, and often say that Cincinnati southbound at sunrise is one of the most amazing sights on all rivers for me. Hernia surgery.. recovering well as I post this 👍🏻

I'm hoping to do The Great Loop in my 20' boat in May/June of 2024 and seeing this much traffic reminds me why most loopers don't go this route. I want to do this route so I sure hope I can stay out of their way!

Hi Capt Kyle, I have a couple of questions. 1 do you ever go up to Fort Madison Iowa and 2 what is the max barges a tow boat can tow?
@marktwained
@marktwained 10 ай бұрын
1. Yes, but it’s been a while. (Quite a few videos on here making bridge) 2. I think the record is something like 72. My personal max was 63. It was actually two tows combined, as one boat was down an engine.. but it still was impressive sight.

Guys in bass boats dread that big of a roller wake. Dangerous stuff up pool 19 and north. You hit one of those that you don’t see at 60mph, you go airborne and just along for the ride. You hope you don’t stuff the bow when you come back down.

The reply is simply to illustrate that the "greenies" are grossly ignorant to what the real economy requires day to day. The removal of fossil fuels is 50+ years away from our economy. If what moves on the Mississippi stopped, millions of people would starve within a year. It takes fossil fuels now and will for a LONG time to come.@@mikes7639

I would welcome anything that makes our industry more efficient and safe. That said, I am highly skeptical of many things. But for some balance I get highly frustration with ignorance and folks scared or defiant to change. I believe the fazing out of fossil fuels should be accelerated.
