Two boats on a Sunday

By the time I got to the mouth of the Kanawha River on Sunday afternoon, the M/V Mary Harter had already backed out and was pushing against the current to go upriver.

The Harter had to stay over against the West Virginia bank until the Lilli Marlene of O-Kan Marine Repair had passed. The Lilli Marlene had the oddest tow I've seen in a while -- six wide and two long.

Perhaps this is the place I'm supposed to say I should bill the world's largest retailer for using a photo of one of its trucks on my blog, but I won't.
