    Anyone else see that? And it looked dirty.

    I'm still trying to figure out the whole Village People/YMCA connection to that thing. What's the deal? Weren't there any other "please don't play this song at a wedding reception full of drunk people or you'll be sorry" songs that they could think of?

    Scuttlebutt is that they're gonna be let back on the river with very strict conditions, they are still trialing it out now.

    You didn't hear this from me.

    I do love the term Scuttlebutt, thanks dayman for reminding me. Would be a great name for a band (if it isn't already).

    I wouldn't say its common just yet.

    They won't be allowed on the river if there is any barge or shipping traffic within a certain distance.

    They have been practicing towing now for several weeks. There is an assist workboat at the Piers Marina.
