This journey started almost by accident.One lucky day, while surfing the net, just following links wherever they went, I happened upon a site by a Towboat Pilot named Adam Graser, from Houston Texas.
Having spent time on the Mississippi River myself, first as a deckhand on Exxon owned tows, then on a 67ft crewboat, eventually piloting that boat for Conoco Oil, his site held great interest for me.
