Steve's right.

Get there. If it's only fifteen minutes away, you totally owe it to yourself to spend as much time there as possible. Speaking as a former museum employee, there's nothing more awesome than spending time with something you love, soaking up that ambiance (or is that stale diesel?).

You just never know who'll you find on these boats, and the stories they'll tell you will blow your mind.

I'm grateful that I met the guys in the TVA in Baltimore, and that they've always been so generous with their time and experience - and none of that would have been possible if I hadn't just gone down there one day and listened.
