Here was Rhythms 2.
And the tugboat with the travel trailer on the afterdeck–anyone wish to help C. E. Grundler speculate about why it’s up there?–is Nancy Ann on the Willamette River in Oregon.
Last night my question was “to post . . . or not to post,” and . . . I think I made the right choice. Here . . . at dusk was Gramma Lee T Moran, light east bound in the KVK, and
less than an hour later, westbound with a tanker–like a trophy–alongside. The tanker is Kimolos, two weeks out of Denmark.

Do barges still have Captains who live on board?

Bob most barges have a Capt and a mate that live on board,except ATB units where the bargemen live on the tug.The only company that I know of that is a exception to the ATB rule is Bouchard, all of their barges have a Capt and mate living on board. There also are unmanned barges that run mostly in the south like the Miss.River, these barges are generally smaller in capacity @20,000bbls range.
