I've made this trip many times as a tugboat Captain. I've pushed barges ahead, towlined behind, pulled drilling rigs, and serviced them in the lower Mississippi. Had more than a few close calls and near misses. Wouldn't trade my career for any job out there! Retired at 68, I miss it more than I can express.

I watch these cargo ships all the time and wondered what the view might be going down the Mississippi. Great video.

It’s insane how quickly those low level clouds begin to form the split second the sun comes up and starts warming the atmosphere

How beautiful to watch a gaint ship sail through a river squeezing its way through the shipping channel dodging other ships perfectly navigating it's way out in the Mississippi River alongside the amazing natural environment. Great work sir , My only regret is that a very few people make such videos.

It makes you feel like an explorer. You're the Captain. In your mind you hear the CCR song "run through the jungle".

This was beautiful and relaxing and well-made. I specifically searched for MS river journey timelapses, and this was a perfect result.

One of the best videos I've ever seen on YouTube by far! The music was a perfect blend with the movement of the clouds at timelapse speed! Thank you so very much for the awesome journey! Great job!

Omg thank you so much for posting. Every time I go down the Mississippi it gets dark so you just see nothing. The video was breathtaking and I also loved the music.

I visited Destin, Florida acouple of weeks ago and loved it. The Gulf is incredible. I live in Louisville, Ky where some of the Ohio river is. I always heard how it converts to the Mississippi river and then the Gulf Of Mexico. I wanted to see the actual connection spot into the Gulf and here it is. I love it :)

:59-1:02 the deepest point in the entire Mississippi River, over 250’ deep!

Thank you so much for sharping this. I really enjoyed it. I really wanted someone to go down the Mississippi River and travel to the Gulf of Mexico cause I wanted to see how it looks like when they meet. Thank You 🙏🏼 I liked this video in reward
