We love watching the locals come out to watch us go by. This was truly awesome, with this kid holding a model of Artemis! They for sure got a whistle blast!

Another trip through Wheeler Lock, this time a little more rain decided to join in on the fun

Welcome to Wilson Lock on the Tennessee river, another good opportunity for some lock training the other day. Rain always makes it more “fun….”

Just a peak into some more work going on over here. The crew is hard at work all over the ship. The past couple days we swapped out the turbos on the main engines. Which is a very much involved project.

@CaptTSulli How many hours of operation do you get out of the turbos before needing to send them back to EMD?

That time of the year to inventory all of our lashing gear!

@Titan401801535 Awesome! Thanks for sharing! We’ll give a blast on the whistle next time we pass!

@CaptTSulli Wave at my cousin and his wife that live right on the river at Hookers Bend! I got him to get some pics as you went by a while back.

Just another super uneventful locking at Pickwick. But the clouds definatly showed up for their debut!

@CheckRideAir We stay close to the side we’re working around 5-10’. So we know we have 23-18’ on the other side. Yea we don’t play ping pong in the lock chamber, the cargo would get upset.

@CaptTSulli ok not as tight as the videos make it seem then. Though id imagine still not easy at first without pinballing it a million times and getting the high score in the sim 🤣

Transiting Kentucky Lock on the Tennessee River, perfect time for training with one of our Chief Mates

@CheckRideAir The locks are 110’ wide, so we have about 28’ to play with. Oh don’t worry everyone touches the walls at some point just to say they did
English
@CaptTSulli still baffles my mind the tolerances between RS and the lock walls... knowing me intrusive thoughts would kick in and touch the walls for no reason aside from being able to say I touched the walls 😅
English
@CaptTSulli You already did! I was just asking for a time lapse video (a few years ago) and you have done that for a while now. Good stuff!

This morning we exited the Mississippi River and joined the Ohio River in Cario, IL. We are only on the Ohio River for about 48 mi before we join the Tennessee River to head south to Decatur!
