re: Text from Captain at Natchez heading upriver.

I was in Natchez watching tugs navigate upriver with loads of barges. They were sure churning up lots of water struggling to make headway but moving at a snail's pace against the strong current. Probably expending 3x more fuel than normal.
On the flip side, barges travelling downstream barely kicked up any white water behind them as they flew by at high speeds. The current was very fast, very strong. I took some vid, will try to post later.
