The Towboat Passes By

One of the interesting things you learn if you spend enough time around the river is that there is a thing called Towboat.us.  I'm actually not surprised given some people when they are the water.  It basically seems like a stupid tax.

For a price, they will got out and tow your boat or fill your gas or whatever.  I realize that some boats don't really have a gas gauge but it seems like it would be important to keep on eye on that.

I'm guessing that he was heading out to give somebody a tow.

But I actually thought it was one of the Canadian coast guard boats, so I was a little disappointed.

It was still cool though.
