Show 6849 Wimmer- C 4839 A I don't think the low water channel shifts, no sir. Q I am talking about the Green river. A Yes sir, the low water channel I don't think shifts, except as I explained at that one little point. Q Don't you get a rearrangement of the sandbars at every different stage of the water? water; you don't see them in high water. Q Can't you tell from the operation of the boat whether or not the location of sandbars changes? A Not when the river rises six or eight feet , I can't tell; we run into what I call permanent islands; we run on to those obstructions, that is practically permanent, I call them islands; they overflow at that time; we say hit them if we get careless. Q Mr. Wimmer, I understand you say that the channel done not shift around? A I don't think the low water channel shifts, no sir; I think the current shifts. Q In making a trip on the river this year you will find the sandbars the same place they were last year? A You will find the channel; I ain't talking about |
