I've watched that channel for some time and can only figure that there must be some kind of order in what looks to me to be complete chaos that in some way makes sense to the people on the boats. Local knowledge and all that.

There is another youtube channel of boats from the area, I assume this is the Mekong River delta, that are used to deliver dredged sand to building sites by being pumped in slurry form over some quite long distances. Kind of like the local version of a dump truck I guess only in boat form. The boats don't seem to be the dredges themselves, just the delivery vehicles. So not quite the same as the "Sand Suckers" that used to be found on the Lakes.

Kind of interesting to see if you're into watching mud dry... as I apparently am. It's the "Bom Cat Mien Tay - VLogs" channel on youtube. Here's the link:

Yes it was. Still trying to figure it out. Sometimes when the boats take off you would think it was the Oklahoma Land Rush.
