  • The video begins just south of St. Louis with the Charles Reid Perry waiting to be turned by the City of Cassville. Looks like they rearranged the tow a bit when the City of Cassville took over putting all of the 24 wind turbine blades in a row. These barges are 195 feet in length and these blades look to be just as long. This method of shipping does seem to be the best way to ship these blades. The audio is of the City of Cassville as heard from the shore at 2 different locations.

    Thanks! We see these blades in the Duluth harbor and I’m always awed by their size and the power they can generate.

    I'm just curious as to why you dubbed in the wave lapping water sounds? There's no way that those sounds could have been coming from those barges or that tug.

    • @BowzerTowboats
      @BowzerTowboats  Před 4 lety +2

      I did not do what you think I did. The audio is from my cell phone recording video from the bank of the river. The wave sounds just happened that way after the City of Cassville passed by and due to the length of the video the audio is from two different locations as well. You're just wrong. Also there is no audio from the Charles Reid Perry.
