Well, not really, but so seldom might as well call it that. There we were, against the current, clawing our way along the Cumberland River. In the distance we could see a tow coming, looking like we'd meet in a 'tight' bend, shoals on both sides. No problem, he needed 20-30 feet of width, us only 12. Then, as we closed, one short blast was heard. Replied with the same... eased to stbd, and passed port to port with a big wave from none other but "HAMMER", the Coast Guard work tug and barge stationed out of Charleston. And here I've thinking that whistle signals were just not done anymore. Just love the Coast Guard! *Rudy & Jill Sechez * *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *850-832-7748* *www.trawlertrainingabc.com <http://www.trawlertrainingabc.com>* *Cumberland Island GA Southbound*
