WTF is coming off this barge heading out into the bay from the ICW? Sand?? Go to google earth and look for yourself. I see a couple mile long trail behind it. Maybe bauxite going to Reynolds plant?

He is just churning up the bottom. That is a big tug and his props are deep.

Yep. just churning the bottom, that's the reason that the TP&W would like and asks tugs and barges not to run the ICW durning a freeze event. They turn the water over and puts the cold surface water deeper and churns the warm mud.
Nice picture and a good example of the effects barge traffic has on the water.
