The following pictures are from a program sponsored by US Coast Guard, Marine Safety Office at Paducah Kentucky, where the Auxiliary hopes to learn more about the commercial towing industry from the bridge of a working tow. It is hoped that by teaching the Auxiliary, they can pass this information onto recreational boaters in Public Education classes and while doing Vessel Safety Checks (VSC). Our special thanks to R&W Marine and the Captain and Crew of the Enterprise Star, who so graciously welcomed us aboard. The photos below were taken by Flotilla 85's Mary Husfield..
