Go to the source: Keep It Simple Survival
14 hour day today. I’m beat, but in a good way. Got me some saltwater intake, and a bit of sunburn…
San Antonio Bay near Port O’Connor.
Here’s something ya don’t see every day; an entire dredging outfit strung out in tow. A second tow just as long was behind this one. This was in “the ditch”, or the intracoastal waterway just south of POC.
Closer view of the head of the tow. Chug-a-lug, they were making five knots if they were lucky. I was cruisin’ at 25 when I snapped these…
Lots of barge traffic up there. Made for some interesting maneuvering at times, especially when two double wide tows were passing each other from opposite directions in the ditch. I had the jack plate almost all the way up, and was skimming across calf deep water on the side of the ditch to get by a double tow and another boat coming up the channel. Sure was nice to check out a new patch of water, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Variety is the spice of life!
