Rose M. towboat backing three empties 3/4 mile downstream in high water, fast current Mississippi river. Starting to heel starboard to line up with the inlet to the Artco fleeting terminal in E. Dubuque IL between the cranes in the pic.

2000 hp in the pilot's hand, and a lot of Kentucky windage skill. Momentum management at its best.

Yeah, a good river pilot is a treat to watch.

I don’t think I could pilot a tug ..
I have a hard enough time approaching my trailer straight most times :facepalm:
