"If the logs bug you...bitch".

Article mentions Regan, and shows the Eddy VI winch boat near the Champlain Bridge. "As many as 41,000,000 logs are towed in a boom by one tug, for example the 250-horsepower, 18-ton, 44.5-foot-long tug, The Regan, which chugs downriver from Quyon."

41 million is an obvious typo, they likely meant 1 million.
