M/V Linda Reed on a gray day


With the gray sky and the overall gloom on the landscape, it felt more like February than October, even with all the green leaves on the trees. If there was one redeeming quality about today — other than getting to spend a little time with the granddaughter — there was the M/V Linda Reed dropping 15 loaded coal barges at Virginia Point there at the mouth of the Big Sandy River before it headed lightboat down to what used to be called Merdie Boggs'.

I got several pictures. Here are two, and they are not necessarily the best I got today.



Even if I should have spent more time in productive endeavors today, I can't help but think it was time well wasted, as a country singer would say.

One thing I like about this boat is the "semi-octagonal" pilothouse. The visibility must be very good from up there.
