Between rain showers I was lucky enough to catch the Jacky L. O'Neal following the Elisabeth R. Chase northbound Mississippi River at Cape. The audio is from this boat recorded from shore.
My father was a tow boat captain, he had a heart attack and died in the wheel house at Cape Girardeau in 1991. This view of the river really helps me visualize the rescue efforts of the ones that went on board to try to revive him. Thanks for sharing this clip, I enjoy all of your videos
Thanks so much for your efforts... and yeah, I am a wake man 😉. I get kick out of those close ups. Love to watch the wash... too bad the rain hit! It looks like you try to stay out of the field of view of the pilot? I was wondering if you were going to fly down so we could watch him, but I figure that annoys them a bit. Enjoyed it!
I never want to be a pest to anyone and to respect their privacy. Some see the drone and come out and wave. I did get some footage where you could identify peoples faces but edit out. I don't want to be the guy that distracts the pilot and he hits a bridge lol Thanks so very much!
