Happy New Year, everybody

 I'll get back to boats at the Big Sandy soon. Meanwhile, here's my last river photo of 2024, taken this evening as darkness took over the landsape.

That's the M/V Canton of Marathon Petroleum passing under the East End bridge between Huntington WV and Proctorville OH with empties headed for Catlettsburg KY.

Happy New Year, everybody.

Boats at the Big Sandy, part 2

Time for more pictures from a day of a dozen boats at the Big Sandy harbor. These were taken from West Virginia, looking over to Ohio.

The City of Chicago eases in to tie off its barges at Virginia Point.

I'd come down here to wait for the Lynne Cissna. Here it's in photo range.

That's the Mt Airy over close to the Ohio side.

The Lester Parker comes into view.

The Mt Airy and the Lynne Cissna.

And now the Lynne Cissna and the The Caroline.

More to come.
