I don't think that the tittle is exaggerated, as the barges are queing up to get through this passage.
The crowd that's watching here must be addicted to the pollution, as they're making sure they're getting plenty in their longs in a matter of minutes.
It's quite interesting to watch all this, but preferably with a mask and clean air bottles on your back, to have a better chance of surviving a bit longer.
Peter.

The hammock set up so he can helm the boat whilst in his hammock is very ingenious. |

I've spent time in Asia, there is definately a reason that they are taking over the world. |

Plimsol line, what plimsol line, just fill her up to the gunnels! They've still got plenty of free board. |

It isn’t sparrows who could drink of those gunwalesit needs to be waders. Some good ship handling though.
There’s another video in this group where they push a big flat top barge into the gap and it sticks!

Yes that's right David, I've seen that one and a bunch of others of the same guy too, they're all worth watching. I thought that the one with the big barge stuck was possibly a bit too long to watch to post on here, that's why I posted this one. Peter. |

as normal when I watch one of these videos I end up finding other gems ..... I like this one ..... it should be entitled "I need a bigger motor"
It's too long showing the same so after a bit I suggest you skip to near the end
