HURRICANE SEASON and MORE BARGE ANTICS

Today is the first of June and the official start of hurricane season and the start of the time of year when I check the weather reports each morning just in case.

So I logged into NOAA and guess what " A potential hurricane !" was shown on the site. However it is a LOOOOOOONG way a away just off the coast of Florida - so "No Worries".

BARGE UPDATE



They flipped her yesterday by anchoring the sunken side and pulling on the topside with the tug. They had done this before but the barge flipped back when the tug stopped pulling.

This time they kept puling for several hours holding the barge, right side up while they pumped water out of the barge tanks.

Bet there was a few drinks on the tug to celebrate last night.
