Great tips ! Suggest you call the TUG, not the tow. Tugs tow barges, "the tow" is the barge or other floating object being moved by the tug. R. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Coleen Barger" <coleen at calypsopoet.net> > 1. Do not call the tow a barge. The barges do not have VHF radios on them.
