Mississippi Watershed 1

I’m dedicating these to Otis Redding . . . .   and I know I’m getting some details wrong and will correct when I’m back.  Thanks much for your comments and corrections.  My day started with Overseas Houston.  I think I just missed Christian Reinauer headed upstream before light in my location;

followed by an upstream flanking turn by B. John Yeager. . .

and more including Custom.

Farther upstream –can you guess where– I caught Catherine S and fleetmates;

Can you identify this massive levee?

Presager‘s background may help.

Creole Sun and a cluster of tugs and barges await while . . .

Myra Epstein powers

a long train of barges,

and churns up the Mississippi cafe au lait.

OK . .  answer tomorrow . . . can you idenify this vessel?
