With just about an hour left of good light time was running out on what seemed to be a promising day of feature hunting. Jim and had left around two and headed to the river out Richmond Road. Nothing was going on and no one was out because of the rain. We decided to head towards our dog fighters and cut our losses for the day when we came a cross a ferry going back and forth the Kentucky River.

“Wonder what the guy looks like thats,” I thought out loud. We made up an imaginary figure and talked about what he would look like.


To our surprise, we had created a real person. The captain of the ferry dressed the part. From the yellow sailor hat to the short shorts. He was in everything we could ask for and more.
