All that power . . . it makes foam, like on the mouth of a horse or draft ox overexerting itself, or
like below the mill race, or
a very localized storm
like natural ones that generate sea foam, which supernaturally produced Venus a la Bottecelli. Viva la spuma!
I wonder how much mud moves around when thousands of horsepower spin the wheels in in shallow water.
Now see all mirror & no foam around the tugs over at Biffle’s Pacific northwest site. Wow!

Yes, lovely quiet water in the lee of that giant vessel. About the props….I’ve often wondered if the fish know enough to get out of the way.
