M/V Mae Etta Hines, 3/31/24

 Every few minutes, some sun peeked through the rain clouds. It did long enough to allow me to get a photo of my youngest son's favorite boat as it passed Huntington WV today.

M/V Charleston is back on the river

 It was in the boatyard for a few weeks getting some work done, but the Charleston is back out on the Ohio pushing barges.


When all the painting is done, it will reclaim its spot as the prettiest classic towboat on the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. The O. Nelson Jones and the J.S. Lewis are contenders in that category, although the Lewis isn't really a working boat anymore, at least not for a while.

Three fave boats

 I saw the AEP Mariner was coming up the river, so I went to Ashland KY to see it and get a few pics. I was surprised to see it was deadheading in a tow being pushed by the Dan Elder. I got some shots, including this one ...


... and then went up to Catlettsburg where I got these two.



These are quick edits, with minor noise reduction done in the last one. Otherwise, they are straight out of camera except for cropping, lowering the resolution so I could post them here, and adding my watermark. I have several batches of river photos I need to edit and post. If you want to see some, let me know.
