Wiskers:
When I spoke to Wiskers today he said they pulled him off of one boat and was driving him back to Louisville to catch anouther one. Stay safe out there and watch the crap floating (houses trucks cars etc). Any of my fellow c.cers remember Wiskers and all the river rats who are running the flooded rivers and all the ones misplaced from the flood in your prayers.
Talk to ya soon my friend

Got on this boat a Markland lock this evening, This river is get'n it!
The main problem we face out here is drift. You get a wheel or rudder fouled and in can get bad quick.
See yall in about a week or so I hope.
Be safe Brother!
Thanks Wiskers keep us up dated!
Be careful Wiskers, and everyone else for that matter.
Hope you have a safe trip Wisk... be carefull.
Thanks Wiskers for all the river updates and you take care while on duty! You and the rest of your crew are in my prayers, God bless!!
Be safe Whiskers.

Hang on to your hat. It's rollin up here too.
Our thoughts are with you...
Thanks for all the well wishes. Pretty bad out here in places but I think the worst is behind us. On the Ohio anyway.
Bout witnessed 2 bad wrecks at Smithland this morning within 2 hrs of each other. They got out of it OK but it sure looked bad for along time. Bet both those guys need new Pilothouse chairs! :D
1 more week!
I seen a post a while ago for 2 slightly stained pilot chairs for sale :D .................HEE HEE!:D
To Wiskers and all the guys/gals working the floods, take care and be safe!
Thanks buddy. It's bad but getting better. We're all sweating this next rain that's coming. We are 1 good 3" rain away from a catastrophic event in the Tn./Cum system!Quote:

The M/V Harley Hall went down broadside on the upper guide wall. Opened up a barge pretty bad. We were in the river chamber going north and he was trying to get in the land chamber south bound. He didn't make it. Lucky he didn't lose the tow and sink the boat. Gave me cold chills watching it unfold.
Whiskers,
You ever make it up as far as the Meldahl pool on the Ohio?
All the time. I will probably be getting off the boat up there somewhere around Thursday. I'm ready too.Quote:
