Gammel Dansk Floating in Lock Chamber

Nordic Tug Gammel Dansk (Old Dane) floating in the lock chamber --
Mary tending the lines and fenders.

The Gammel Dansk has a wine cellar that now contains a wide mouth fruit jar of “Shine” and some Kentucky Bourbon. He haw!  However, Mary has banned me from sippin' rum, shine or Makers Mark bourbon while at the helm. We are traveling on Kentucky Lake. The Lake is 150 miles long. Nice, flat, no maddening current like the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. It will take three days of trawler speed to get to our destination:  Paris, Tennessee.
Will send photos next of the Eiffel Tower.

The Gammel Dansk arrives in St. Louis!

Passing Under the Eads Bridge, St. Louis

The tiny Gammel Dansk passing under the Eads Bridge. 

The Eads Bridge was built in 1874 by Andrew Carnegie. It was the world's first bridge constructed of steel. It is 6000 feet long, and connects St. Louis, Missouri, with East St. Louis, Illinois.
