Returning To Normal

This big boy is a signal that the locks have been repaired and are now open for navigation. He is sitting at the fuel dock here at Demopolis Marina. The TTB is returning to regular navigation North and South. One going North could be heading for Knoxville or Kentucky Lake and even Nashville.....or maybe Lake Michigan. Going South could be an adventure for the oil is still around in some places even tho the interest has shifted to Michigan and the Kalamazoo River. The big problem with going South is that it is still hurricane season on the Gulf and you could get into some serious trouble if you were careless. Hurricane season ends around the end of November. Hurricane season is generally considered to last six months from June thru November. Once again I thank you for following the blog....Tom....P S this big boy was probably close to 100 feet long.....can you say wowser
