Agree , Fred and his family are super!

Keith Cain noted

I kind of disagree with that sentiment. Still, it is helpful to hear the radio comms with the locks, and would also be insightful to hear radio chatter with the barges, e.g. passing situations.

I had to stop watching.

I agree. The narration was great, but the music was too loud. Subscribed. Beautiful scenery. I’m starting my information-gathering in hopes of doing the loop some day. Thanks for this video!

I enjoyed the first song

Thanks , need to get back do doing more , been sidetracked . Drone is a DJI mavic pro, DJI has the best software /Hardware IMO . If you get one , make sure you get Personal Article insurance and have it covered , not a question of if but when you will put it in the water ,crash or have a malfunction. The boat is a 2000 Ocean Alexander 510 Classico

We got a late start that day due to a lock maintenance issue , ran most of the day at 1500rpm , which put us at 13MPH with the 3.4 MPH current we had heading down river, if I recall the river was at yellow stage meaning it was higher than normal and dams where releasing high flow to drop the levels as fast as possible

At what point in the video? At the beginning there is a Tow fueling at the fuel docks which was on the left hand side of our vessel , late in the video after l landed my drone we had a barge pass us on the right , our starboard side to his starboard side

@@vicpinto1970 oh yea , no it was just his preference of where he wanted me as he passed headed upstream. We had AIS and where transmitting our location , I had stopped /slowed to catch my drone , he reached out as he saw us in the middle of the channel around the bend on AIS , wanted to be sure we did not have any engine issue or problems , in that conversation I asked how he preferred us to pass 1 whistle to 2 , he preferred 2. Most of the time on the Tombigbee tows will reach out if they are uncertain of your intentions, if they are aware of you via AIS. One of the reasons I recommend AIS transmit capable Equiptment for looping. Did not have the same interaction with tows on the St Lawrence , but all along the ICW and in the river systems in the USA it was very useful. It is especially useful at night if you find yourself in a situation where you must drop anchor on the river, which we had to do on two occasions , south of Demopolis on the Tombigbee there are very few anchorages out of the channel at normal pool.

Yep, only want to attempt in calm waters and low wind, otherwise high probability of a water damage ;)
