Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has just started a new meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.
Tugboat pushing a barge 1969
When I was a kid my family boated and camped on the Illinois River. Whenever a tugboat came by we had to get out of the water because of the undertow. Notice how the water is pulled off the beach and the boat sits almost high and dry.

Thanks for starting this meme Sally.
This is an awesome photo! Perfect for the new meme. I think its funny how you how to get out of the water when the tug went by. Must have been a narrow river to create such an undertow. Growing up near the Chesapeake Bay, even though there were ships and tugs, this was never a problem.
Thanks for being my first RW poster!
Hugs!!
Great image. The undertow would have been very tricky.
I love old photos. This meme sounds very interesting indeed.
Wow, that is some undertow!
