My friends and I were doing the trucker horn pull and I think we managed to convince the captain to give us a salute 😎 I have a recording of the first salute, did not expect the second though

From the vantage point of your camera, the ship’s captain didn’t even know you were there. The horn was blown as a ship’s captain salute for passing out the harbor into the lake. It wasn’t blown because you were pumping your arms. That’s not how they do it!

When do they put on speed? How far out; how fast?

[@jackklingen4728]

Appears low in the water, is it loaded?
