The barge team

Four barges, all completely different boats, three of them older than dirt, all pull off a daily routine that works 90 percent of the time. When a cog in the machine breaks, that 10 percent can be hell. But here’s the whole team, sped up in about 30 seconds of graceful barge perfection…

    I’m glad we don’t have to back up the barge ramp that quickly…

    Not to split hairs…. but wasn’t that the Captain Vic first? The third boat looked like the Roanoke with it’s seating area on the stern and midships.

    You guys never cease to amaze. Even watching BARGES move in and out of port was worth watching!

    I don’t have a fancy iPhone, only my brother does so I wasn’t able to take a picture today of the HUGE car ferry that was in port. You could put the Mr B inside it! I think I remember it being owned by the same company as Mr. B and it does trips to PR, STX and other islands.

    Now that was just cool. How about a speeded-up JeepCam® drive from Cruz Bay to East End (via North Shore Drive of course)?
