Re: Did I make a $1,400 mistake?

Re: Best entrance to Cross west to east from GOM coming south?

Re: Tennessee Tombigbee Locks single handed?

Thanks to all of you. Answers pretty consistent and what I expected. Air draft I’ve researched and not a problem as I’m 44 ft. If that 6 ft clearance were significantly compromised I’d be a fool to...
