. At Kentucky Lake today, the owner should have paid attention to the Lake level forecast. Too late now.

You think Any correlation to that and someone that just hand scribbles the registratipon number on side....?

A pic for bccap.
The largest tug on the Great Lakes was in the local Port Weller Dry Docks for paint and polish.
With barge it tops out at 1000 feet. The Welland Canal where i live can only support 730 feet so it spends most of its time on Lake Superior.

Can't say I've seen a tug of quite that design. Wouldn't want to be in a big sea without being locked into the barge.... Cause without the barge that thing is going to roll big time ......

Possibly........... The Marina is in KY and the Numbers on the boat say Tennessee.

It was re discovered after a bad flood in 1937, It had been under several feet of mud at the bottom of the Mississippi River. The state park was built with CCC/WPA labor with the Anchor and chain and several cannons as the focus.

a pelican.
Not suppose to be in Michigan.
Summer in mid Canada, and migrate through central plaain states to gulf states for winter.

I have been back a few times.
Is one pelican in with a bunch of swans.
Word has got out on birder sites, and local face book groups.
So lots of photographers and birders there. Have been some great pics from folks out in boats.

Maybe the pelican identifies as a swan.
