I was confident my little tug would do just fine
I was wondering what that crewman was doing.
  Which reminds me to remind you, the ferry is closed on weekends. This is a big mistake.  It could be a great tourist draw. What a deal, only a dollar going from Melville east. I didn't get charged a thing even though I tried to give the guy a buck. Getting the shell all fixed up was worth more than that.
    What can all that stuff be for?
He told me to stay away from the valves.
    Back to the pivot thing. This is the ferry leaving after dropping me off.  Isn't that creative. It was an amazing trip. One I will never forget. I suggested that they open a gift shop, or at least sell postcards. 
    I hope this puts the Melville Ferry on your vacation plan's "To Do" list. The kids and Mom will really appreciate you for it. Surprise them, because you know how hard it is to keep making excuses when the kids, and Mom, of course, ask that famous question, " Are we there yet?"
     Thanks for riding along and I'll be out there on the ferry circuit, critiquing all those great Louisiana ferries. This one, I'm sure you agree, gets a five star rating.
      Stay tuned.
