Had to wait for about an hour for the fog to lift enough to drive. Finally got on the road and drove to a ship yard at the very southern tip of Golden Meadow, LA. On the way in saw this sign.
Got there and pulled up along side of the ship the winch was going on. They were going to unload it with the ship's crane and put it on the deck.

What the winch does is it is attached to a ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) that surveys the bottom of the ocean, underwater pipelines, and cables, etc. In the middle of the wire cable is an electric cable that controls the ROV.
After sitting there waiting over 4 hours they started to unload.
Then I drove out from under it and left. The load I was hoping for next was given to someone else so I don't have a load yet. Drove up to Baton Rouge, LA. While sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on top of a bridge I snapped a shot of the lock and dam.
Stopped at a small truck stop / casino in Baton Rouge to wait for another load. Hope it comes faster than the last one.
