Here's our mule team. Do they look like they're going the wrong
direction? We're in the process of a turn. The rudder on the boat
is used to turn it so it's pretty much sideways in the canal.
While this is happening, the mule team allows slack in the tow
rope which is manually lifted to the other side of the boat. Then
the mule team races backwards to tension the rope before the boat
runs into the sides of the canal. In this photo the boat has
turned almost 90 degrees and the mules are headed back to get the
slack out of the rope.
