We circled, manuevered and waited ever so patiently...for two and a half hours...it felt a little like watching clowns at work at the lock...nothing seemed to go right for them...by the time they were ready to take us, there were three pleasure boats wanting to lock down...so three boats in...then three boats out...through the VERY skinny opening left by the waiting barges and tow boat. His prop wash about sent us into the shore...what a trip...and it continues to get hotter...
