The following questions (1-10) are based on the Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi River Maps
(Cairo to the Gulf) and the Light List.

AT 1835, on 10 August, you are downbound on the Upper Mississippi River at St. Louis, MO (mile
184.0 UMR), with a mixed tow of 6 loaded, covered hopper barges, 2 loaded tank barges, and 2
empty hopper barges.

You have orders to drop off the empties at the fleeting area in Cairo and add five loaded barges to
your tow. If you are turning for 8 mph and estimate the current at 0.5 mph, what is your ETA at
Cairo?
