Towboat KARL SENNER Southbound Mississippi River North of Alton Illinois
From back in October this is the M/V KARL SENNER a video where getting audio was pretty much impossible due to wind, road noise and the Senner itself was not making much noise. So hard to pick audio for a video like this and I almost did not post it due to audio. But what the heck throw some obscure song on it where at the end describes how I feel about my subscribers! Tank you all and Happy Thanksgiving! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogeVblyw4g8
Missed the American Queen underway she had already arrived in St. Louis then I saw the Queen of the Mississippi approaching St Louis near sunrise at Jefferson Barracks and just barely caught it in time. Was able to go downtown later and see the American Queen but I still want to catch her underway. Thanks for watching!

I have done this boat before but what the heck I'll do it again. I like the ducks in the beginning flying towards the drone at the 3 o'clock position. The skipper on this boat came out of the wheelhouse and I believe he gave me the single finger salute. I edited that out because I never want to show anyone in the videos. Just curious if there is a Captain or Pilot watching these videos if this drone is that much of a problem or distraction? I am also a amateur radio operator and wonder if I should call the boat and ask for permission to fly the drone near the boat? Please comment below. I always want to make towboats classy and something that the crews of these boats can be proud of.

Audio was recorded from shore right at the railroad bridge as you can hear, and see the train come into the video at the 3:28 mark
For her WWII service the USS LST-325 was awarded the American Campaign Medal, the Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign Medal with three campaign stars, and the World War II Victory Medal which are displayed in front of the wheelhouse.

Three towboats making their way thru the Ice down the Illinois River and onto the Mississippi River are the M/V's Victoria Pasentine, Sugarland, and the Britney Lee. With temps in the mid to upper 20's at the time of this video sure felt great with the sunshine after such a long cold week. At the 16:00 you can see the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. On the left the Mississippi which hasn't seen any boats in over a month and on the right the Illinois River where there has been lots of traffic. The audio is from all three boats and when you do hear real audio it is from the boat your watching.
