Day 370

We eased our way into the Wabash Island anchorage yesterday with varying depths and settled on a spot with seven feet of water under our boat, but when we awoke this morning we barely had five.  We followed our bread crumbs back to the river channel and passed the Wabash River on the way to the John T Meyers Lock and Dam.

Most of the barges we see appear to be hauling fuel or grain, this barge is being loaded with grain.

Trucks are dumping grain to a conveyor to load the barge.

We passed this tow in a narrow channel of the river; we always contact them by radio and ask which side they want us to pass.  The tow captains will respond with “one whistle” or “two whistle”, if we are meeting, “one whistle” means we will pass port to port, and “two whistle” means we will pass starboard to starboard.  This captain responded “I’ll see you on the two”.
