A couple of savage beasts you got there Captain

Captain Kyle…when do you expect to be back in gods country (north of lock #6?)

Hello Captain Kyle. Hope you and your Family are doing Well. 👍🙏

Cap they're going to be missing you when you finally go back on a boat and I know the feeling will be mutual

Great video captain. Waiting in Kentucky for your return.✌️😎

How r you doing when you going back on the boat

It ain't the size of the dog in the fight, but it's the size of the fight in the dog.😂

Beautiful dogs you have

"No Tow Boats" .. That cracked me right up Skipper ! What are the pilgrims going to do ..push you off .. call the cops .. or launch their own dory and tow you off ! 👍☘😂

I bet the fish hang around when they unload grain barges. There has to be some spillage.

Thought I was watching boat porn.

Hurry back!

We were in an apartment in the building just South of Eads Bridge, the two twin apartment buildings on the St Louis side. My wife purchased binoculars so I could watch the towboats. We were also in St Paul ,MN in apartments right by the high bridge on the Mississippi. I enjoyed watching the towboats parking barges right on the bank. I spoke with several of the guys working on the barges as the river walkway was only feet from their barges. I would go downtown in St Paul and look at towboats that were tied up and waiting. I even had one captain invite me aboard and give me the grand tour of the boat. It was powered by two ALCO diesels, and that whole boat was spotless. I remember it had 2 tillers(?) to steer it and they were very long. There were also 2 spares up on the wall. In the engine room there were spare parts for the rudders as well. I really enjoyed seeing that boat. I live in Kansas, so I haven't been around river barge work and it's very interesting to watch. I learned that the Captains use the flow of the river to do most of the work when possible. I also learned that you have to be very patient to operate a towboat on the river. I just found your channel, and I enjoy watching your videos.

seems like you can't get away from holding up on traffic hope there were no fatalities

that was some heavy heavy loads

I really miss dancing in the river just think of the acreage of crops that it took to fill all them barges

Why didnt yoi use that gravel median crossing to get out of it???

If only truckers nowadays used their cb radios

Beautiful & interesting video. Love that you can see where the homestead was. Hope you’re healing up.

Get back to your TOW!

Any job openings ? 20 year United States Navy Veteran .

You could make more progress peddling a peddle boat upstream than sitting in that traffic.

Dam truckers

Looks like a Huge Nightmare. When they’re this Big there has to be Fatalities which is Horrible to think about. 🙏

Kyle which is easier navigating a barge or drone. Hope you guys get rolling with the pooch and stay safe.👍🇺🇸🙏

Nice vid ,hope you all get rolling soon,hugs from MN

Good drone work ! I know it’s flat country , and the drone proved it …keep safe !

Always remember to use Arkansas I drive and highway 70 is a alternate route

Love listening to those turbos absolutely scream as you throttle up the engines. Did I read somewhere correctly that you're from Oklahoma? I'm from Stillwater, but my wife is from just North of Alton, IL, so whenever we go to see the in-laws, I try to get some photos of the towboats as they come downstream. They are impressive vessels. I worked around frac equipment for a long time, so I loved listening to the rumble of large diesel engines for hours on end. To me, locomotives, tugboats, and towboats are all so impressive because you can hear and feel the horsepower at work. Great video!

That was a good video, Kyle. It was nice to see you and your pooch in the Gulf surf. She sure enjoys challenging the waves

UNCLE WORKED OUT OF THE st. Louis Ship yard

When i was a teenager in early sixtys an seventys my uncle repaired. Welded boats an barges an i always liked watching the boats. On Miss. Take care sir an GOD BLESS

A captain from Serbia was on the Mississippi in 1960 and transferred his experience to the Danube, since then barges began to be used, until then they were tugboats. I work as a captain with 6-9 barges and that's the most you can drive from Budapest to the Black Sea in Romania. So far, I haven't had the opportunity to hear from colleagues from other rivers outside Europe

What are the dimensions of barges on the Mississippi, and what is the average draft?

Awesome video

Had my heart pumping….we have all been there.

I never knew the link trick to squaring up a barge. I always just did a few turns on the ratchet.

These scream "I am going through a midlife crisis"

What a pro! Tight fit!

Enjoy your videos. Do any of you guys let people pay to ride up or down the Mississippi ?

You are so correct about time in position equals more knowledge gained. Tramp towing is a good place to learn all the different variations of how to lay a wire. Tramp towing the deck fittings are not always the same.

I have did tow work on that boat about six times for Kender Morgan, in Blytheville, Arkansas

Happy summer, Cap. Good to see you having fun. I THOUGHT you'd get up there to do karaoke!

🙏🙏🙏 for your recovery. I have always enjoyed your videos & Im still your Fan! Get WELL!

I miss Oklahoma a lot my kids love it there.

Showing the ......Bow and stern waves and the engines are pretty cool .......😊😊😊😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤...Hope your bosses are better than ours....😊❤❤❤

I bet you bored as hell

Get back in the wheelhouse you can’t deck if your life depended on it.

I think they’re pigeons.
