Keep you eye on the tug!



Beginning the approach...

Running on a Spring flood,
the tug rounds the bend and signals the bridge tender...


Lets go and Backs down.

But the bridge isn't open yet!


So he releases the tow and backs down full...


and the tow slips under...

and his tow slips neatly on through...



but the current is just too fast...


too late...

MUCH TOO FAST...


we're losing it...

me thinks something is amiss...


going under...

Oh, the boss is gonna be some kinda mad...


...gone...

VERY MAD !!!


Hey, we're up

"Hey boss, you got flood insurance on this boat?"


gurgle!!!

gurgle!!

gurgle!


glub!



glub!!




glub!








She's up!!!

"WOW"

"What a ride..."



She's up, and the flag still flying...


in one piece...  almost!

"Hey boss, you ain't gonna believe this..."


Coming on up...

Man, look at the water coming out...



Second deck's up now...


She's coming around...

Water's still coming from the Pilot House!



He has stearage and is still coming up!



He's catching up to the tow...




Note the exhaust and prop wash... She's going strong!



Still not fully righted, but he's gathered in the tow.


Amazing!!!


"This is your Captain speaking!"
"We hope you enjoyed the ride!"
