Along our travels.

The is the digger sifting sand out of the channel for the tugs and barges.  We found they place the sand in the barges and leave them in the middle of the river for the tows to take elsewhere.

Turkey vulture.

Now here we are doing some more s turns and we had a tow call us and ask us to meet them on the straight.

Found a couple of turtles on a rock this is the first real turtles I have seen.  I asked John to stop and turn around so I could get some pictures which he did and there was a tow up ahead of us that was sleeping according to AIS.

He was not and when I looked up he was bearing down on our location real fast but we were able to get out of his way..

These cows where on the side of the bank when we were coming past a quarry.  Take a look at the trees with all the dust on them they look silver.

 

This is the last lock before Green Turtle Bay.

Now the blue heron and egrets all stay on the lock wall doors to catch small fish that came into the lock.

We have arrived.

John and I took a short walk to the grocery store and this is what we came across.

Until later take care everyone.  Miss you all..
