Does water always flow like that over the spillway at Richmond Mill? It make me wonder how many small BG get washed down stream?
What's keeps a disabled boat from flowing over spillway? Just wondering.
Those boys sure tried hard. We brought them some bait when they were inches from the dam.
The dam has a lot of surface area, so the water depth going over the dam is only about 1-2 inches. The boats have at least 12 inches of draft, probably more like 14-18 inches. If a boat edges up against the dam, its draft is too low in the water to pull it over.
With that, I can just imagine a cell phone call from Sunil while he is hurtling down river, somewhere between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, saying -- "Hey dude, I think I may need some assistance ..."
