Tim, It's always a pleasure watching you coming alongside another ship, barge or dock. It makes me appreciate how difficult an exercise it is yet you make it seem like child's play. The armchair video directors are clearly missing the point and don't realise that changes in your presentation are not necessary because we all watch this channel to be impressed by your skill and the current understated presentation complements that.
@@TimBatSea I had a scare with a tugboat once. I took my unlit john boat from St. Augustine to Jacksonville and misjudged my turnaround time before dusk, so while heading home in the dark I noticed a little green light off to one side, then noticed a little red light off to the other side, and finally realized that between those 2 lights, was the solid black wall of a barge coming straight at me. I rapidly turned right about 110 degrees and headed full speed toward the shore until I was clear, but really wished the bow of that barge had been yellow or had had a string of lights, because that empty black wall looked exactly like open water in the dark, and they could not have done much to maneuver even if I had had lights.
Also my friends lost their rudder after sailing between a tug a barge in the fog in Buzzards Bay, seeing neither until the cable was under them, and even then only seeing the barge. The captain did tend to get drunk and we kids gradually learned to quietly take over and sail home.
I've done this in sailboats a few times, mostly the one mentioned with the replaced rudder and drunk captain; and feel you could have saved fuel as well as made it easier for yourself by going to idle forward quite a bit sooner than you did, though I don't know the economics of how you balance time against fuel when running with the current. I learned to go to idle forward very early, sometimes trying the patience of my deck hands as I bled off all the extra momentum.
Always great to see this massive bunker barge and your tug gently sidle up alongside this ship...ocean ballet lol. I also always get a good laugh when you talk about the naysayers commenting on your video skills and just not realizing that your RUclips video is secondary to the primary objective which is driving the tug !
@@TimBatSea I'm very interested in your turning off your radar so as not to blast deck crews with microwaves. We have never liked microwave ovens or inductive cook tops and I'm a bit worried about inductive heaters for rusted bolts for my car, plus 5G worries and concerns about cell towers near schools, so I'm very interested. My housemate also won't use wifi so I'm typing to you right now through an ethernet cable. Do these crews report symptoms from being blasted by radars? Also, are European crews more sensitive to microwave issues?
Tim, most of your viewers have no idea just how difficult it is do capture and edit good content. Your years of experience is why you are able to multitask and capture what I think is great content that we all enjoy. You are reading the situation, making adjustments, communicating with your crew AND blessing us all with the play-by-play. I used to haul hotshot flatbed cargo which made some interesting content. If things were too busy, the camera never came out. Now that I've moved up to a semi, I'm running dry van and that's just not interesting so unless my dashcam captures something interesting (like the hailstorm that took out my windshield), I really don't have any content. My hat's off to you so please keep up the great work!
I am not a Tug Boat Captain and never have been one, but I do know the Delaware River. It's not the easiest to navigate. Narrow channel, swift currents and lots of thin water. Better you than me, Captain Tim.
Captain Tim, fantastic mooring coming alongside! Utilizing the prevailing conditions to work in your favor. Superior mariners use their superior knowledge to avoid situations that require their superior skills! I’m a skipper on a USCG 87 in Northern California, love watching your content! Very Respectful, Tim
New subscriber here. Found you through Sal! Anyways, I just wanted to say. I grew up in a small town next to the Delaware memorial bridge. My backyard was the Delaware River for years. I have since moved to Florida a few years ago. But I have to say, watching you travel up and down the area I grew up has been nothing short of awesome, and you have brought so many memories back to me, when your passing places like fort mott and peapatxh island, etc. it's all the places I grew up exploring, or fishing around or boating around. Anyways sorry for long winded message. Just wanted to say thank you for providing this really cool insight into all that your Industries does,and great channel!
If I hadn't watched before I would have wondered why you were so far off that ship but when you explain how and why it all makes sense thank you for how well you explain what's going on
You see it as normal but every docking is a demonstration of your skill and experience and it is something we land lubbers never tire of - keep them dockings coming - we love em! Oh and thanks for the unbiased update about the Key Bridge.
The only tug I worked was a single screw, open wheel with a 12-71, wood, built in 1912. Watching you work the tow with (2 open wheels) on to that banana boat with "screaming flood tide" was impressive., I am in awe...or maybe this is Florida?😄 Great job Tim!
I'm new to following your channel. Heard about you from "Wgowshipping". I'm really enjoying your content. I'm a farmer now but in my 20s (back in the 80s) I worked on bulk carriers hauling gypsum from mostly Nova Scotia to different ports all down the East Coast of the US and sometimes around to New Orleans and Houston. I left my sea career in '89 to go to university. Seeing your videos makes me really miss working at sea, even though I was mostly just a rust chipper and painter, tying up and letting go, bridge watch and helmsman sometimes. Typical AB stuff. I shared your channel over to my son who is now at the Canadian Coast Guard College in the Navigation Officer program. I have a feeling he'll be sharing it around the college. Lots of good stuff for them to see on your channel. Thanks for your stuff. It's great and brings back good memories. Best wishes.
So cool! I was born and raised in Gloucester City. I used to work on the docks at Hess in Pennsauken. One night in January '79 I was watching a barge unload overnight. The river froze over. It was amazing! Great vids!
You really play the currents very well, actually masterful. That was a good challenge. And sign of the times, the abutments for that bridge were well protected. Couldn't figure out where that ship is flagged.
Awesome job Tim. Having a good foundation in ship handling I felt my stomach muscles tighten on this one. Another Masterclass from a ship handling wiz.
Nice job on a difficult manoeuvre. To me your video skills are not lacking in the least, I like your channel just the way it is and thanks for not playing music.
Just want you to know that you are my best friend this afternoon as I grieve for a dear friend who lost his 17 year old son to a car accident last night. Working next to his ER doc dad through every twist and turn of that young man's life. I am just grateful to be on the stream of Ma Nature with you through a thousand tears. Ah sigh...No words
Capt. Tim, That was nicely done. Jobs like this were not an option, with most of my boats, as they were single-screw. But, I do know fair tide landings are not easy. Adding passing another vessel with a tug alongside, then jamming the tow kind of hard right, building up to almost a knot sideways, and then putting the brakes on that to land the barge. Well done. And, you really did not need to run pass the ship and back up. Nice job. CUOTO.
Its actually a treat to see a very technical landing like that! Its been a while since ive seen you work a tug that hard! And to do it calmly, thats very impressive! Ive actually been to that port quite a few times to pickup bananas!
Tim don’t worry about hitting the dock hard I can remember jersey central had ferries between Jersey city and New York Cory land st wow when they landed it was crazy they landed head first because they had autos and if you were standing you had to hold on
Having been in youre shoes, pushing fuel around, it is artistry in motion,energy conservation, and physics to get that mass moving, stopped and where its needed.😊 Capt. TimB is one of the best.😊
Absolutely fantastic handling sir, you are the master of your craft, your in my neighborhood there in Philadelphia I live almost on the Delaware river about 15 miles north of there. Keep doing you Captain we love it.
Im new to your channel a i think the filming is just fine, really enjoyed it. You make it look so easy but of course it takes years of experience and a huge amount of skill.
A little challenging! In a small boat I would have gone past and turned around but time and space was not in your favor and you got it done too of course! You call it a fair tide I guess because it’s with you but it’s also the ‘less preferred ‘ option? Cheers Warren
You just tied up about 4 miles from my house!!! Way cool!!! Super stoked to have you working in my back yard!!! Keep up the great work!! BTW, LOVE Dr. Sal!!!!
This is excellent video. It not only answered my question but actually gave me actual feel of what is impact of tied and ebbs on a vessel. Back to Dali....once controls out, and right around that time the suction from varying depth due to channel on starboard, pulls the aft starboard. And tide keeps adding speed.
Awesome driving! I had a slight pucker moment just watching right before your bow was touching fenders! Seemed like she was closing fast! I’m learning to drive a 172 yacht and the first time I backed in to the tide going to a face dock I was quite nervous. Maintaining that angle to the dock to use the tide to our advantage was nerve wracking to me, and I have a bow thruster! Anyway. Love your videos. Thanks
very cool. tricky tides! btw, pretty cool that a barge and tug were the first commercial vessels thru the new temporary channel under the Key Bridge in Baltimore!
Watched this video with some JB headphones and dang, what a difference…. The cavitation makes you feel like you’re in the wheelhouse. BTW… are you SUUUUUURE you don’t have a bent prop shaft? 😂😂 Great work and as always, #CUOTO and the Chief on Two!!
my old neighborhood born in south phila grew up and lived south jersey was goin across the walt with a dump truck full of sand into philly when the first jet hit the tower 911
This is a cool channel!! I did get Sal’s recommendation. Actually I saw your video on my homepage,here first. One thing I noticed was the bridge’s support was on shore. Of course the channel is not as wide as the Key bridge. I was old enough to remember the Tampa bridge and what it looks like today.
