The Chicago Sanitary Ship Canal




Today was a day of industry! Not very pretty and if I could somehow transmit smells through cyberspace, you would have a more accurate representation of our "today." There were times we closed all portholes and doors and other times where we thought a mask might be a good idea. The large barges were courteous however and the workman helped pass the long trip. For instance, we got hailed by one of the barges who snapped into the transmitter: "37 footer, THIS IS A NO WAKE ZONE." Well, it had no sign to designate that and he sped away with such force, we were rocked quite extensively. Moments later, he got back on and said: "Well, what can I say, we're working -- you're not."
