Aah,the old into the chop,following swell,changing tide,don't let the barge hit the bouys, shorten the wire dance.
Tim,the Fred Astaire of barge handling.
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Thomas. CUOTO
Great video Captain Tim and crew! We are SOOOO lucky to have any video of what you do and I appreciate it very much! Stay safe as always!! CUOTO...
Thank you very much Dean. That means a lot to me. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I guess I didn't think I should have looked first. Your video just happened to pop up on my feed and me being from land locked North Dakota my whole life it never occurred to me that anyone lived on a barge😂
🔴THANKS TIM POSTING YOUR 25 YEARS OF TUG BOAT BOY TO CAPTAIN
🔴 AND TELLING US HOW YOU JUDGE IN GETTING THE JOB DONE 👍⚓
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Nice watching the entire change and how you explained it Captain Tim. Good work with your crew. Thanks!
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Once heard a call on channel 16...boat called seat, said he was around and needed a tow. Seatow asked for a position and he answered 'off sandy hook, just past the nude beach'.
What? And I have to happen to go by in February? 😂 Thank you for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea you would be surprised what going on in February too!
The best mayday I ever heard was this chick was overdoing at a setnet sight. Coast guard was trying to get information and the setnet owner said on ch 16 we were shooting speed balls. This was the late 80’s early 90’s
Years ago I used to go fishing on the Miss Take 2 out of the Highlands Jimmy Morenz was the captain we would round Sandy Hook and head south towards seabright all the old timers would be on the starboard rail with binoculars Captain Morenz would announce it on the horn “Coming up on the nude beach “
@@eddieweigel9490, Reading your comment brought back many good memories. I was friends with Jimmy. After he stopped running the boat, he was working with another friend Pete Wagner on the Hyper Stryper.
He was a great dude, RIP Jimmy.
I really enjoy your videos, TimBatSea. I have always seen tugs on the water but took their function for granted. I'm learning alot from watching these. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Rose Marie. CUOTO
Spent a lot of time out on Chesapeake Bay and when I saw tows like this I always wondered how y'all accomplished all that needed to be done in such an operation , thanks for showing me , what a work of art ! My hat is off to Captain and Crew !
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Daniel. CUOTO
Thanks, Tim, that was a manoeuvre I've never seen before. Fascinating watching the crew working together,
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
When I've watched the tugs in Coal Harbour Vancouver, I never think about how much they displace as they appear to "zip" around. Good to be reminded.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
another great video absolutely loved it Tim happy and safe sailing!!!
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
A synopsis of many commenters ... great video ... educational content ... great crew / teamwork etc. Tim thanks for showcasing your part of the maritime industry. Well done!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel George. CUOTO
I enjoyed seeing how you transition the tug from towing a barge to pushing the barge!
Thank you for watching Peter. We show this in reverse (push gear to towing) in a recent video "Training Mate faces a difficult job '. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea, You're welcome! I subscribed a couple months ago, and enjoyed every video! I saw the reverse process video about two days ago. New Haven Terminal is about 45 minutes from my home! I think my first TimBatSea video was "Baltimore Harbor 5 Weeks after Key Bridge Collapse". I saw "Fueling a Cruise Ship in Manhattan". The video prompted me to visit the USS Intrepid museum while in NYC to visit family! I think I've become a big fan!
@@peters-adventure Outstanding Peter! Thank you for subscribing. The Intrepid museum is great isn't it? Thank you again. CUOTO
That was very interesting Tim, you had my complete attention the whole time, thanks!
Thank you very much for watching Terry. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Thumbing up 👍
Great educational content.
Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
I have been there and done that so many times I can’t count. Good job.!
Thank you for watching Woody. CUOTO
Fascinating channel Captain Tim! I enjoy the way you explain things/the processes. Very interesting and informative! Thank you, so glad I found your channel. Be safe out there ⚓️🌊
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Super interesting watching how you do that. I really enjoy these in depth looks at wire work. Keep them coming Tim.
Thank you very much for watching Robert. CUOTO
Great stuff Captain Tim !!! Huge respect for you, your crew and all professional mariners. Somehow you guys make this look easy. Stay safe, stay well.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Rick. CUOTO
A most instructive, interresting video. There was a lot in this one. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Ralph. CUOTO
Thanks for the great video !
Grew up fishing with my Dad in the Sandy Hook Bay and all the areas you passed thru! Weakfish , Fluke, and monster Bluefish, and fall Stripers , made me homesick in a good way !
Thank you for watching Terry. CUOTO
As someone who is always out on my boat in Raritan bay and the surrounding area, its very cool to get an up close view of what you guys do, as i see tons of tugs and barges out there. New subscriber 👍
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. Thank you for subscribing. CUOTO
My favorite Uncle who was in the US Coast Guard during WWll had great story about how he was assigned to a large Army Tug and made a voyage from San Francisco Bay to Manila Bay towing very large concrete barge. I like your video very much!
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Interesting first watch, Sal was talking about your channel!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Lauren! Dr Sal is the man! CUOTO
Just found your channel always been fascinated by Tugboats. I grew up in Southern California near the beach used to go to the harbor watch Tugboats move barges around never as big as the one your moving in this video.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Mike. CUOTO
Watching this, makes me wonder how it was back in the40s. My grandpa Morningstar was a fire tender in the boiler room if the Minneapolis when she took torpedoes in the night battle of Tossafaronga She was towed to a large lagoon and saved. Then towed to I believe Pearl. Fitted with a temp bow as the old one was blown off.
Just amazing
Wow! Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Tom. CUOTO
You earn your keep Captain, very interesting. Thank you for bringing us along..CUOTO.
Thank you for watching James. CUOTO
Way to Go Capt. Thanks for the video. CUOTO, Ed.
Thank you for watching Ed! CUOTO
Awesome vid. I live on the Hudson and have often watched the tugs go from pull to push. I have always thought it was because of the tidal/current shifts on the river.
I'm also 95 percent sure we communicated some years ago while I was rounding North Brother Island on my bound for Hell Gate on my rag tag sailboat, while you were bound for LIS. You were on VHF advising the commercial vessel behind you of my existence and you thought I knew what I was doing. I was holding the most possible north, and then westerly course around the bend. Man I need to upgrade my radar - incredible image.
Regards from SV Voyager - we always scan 13
Thank you very much for watching. Yes, that was probably me. Glad to hear you listen on 13. CUOTO
Very cool! It takes me back to 1970, San Pedro departure to Olongapo. My Z card, which I still have, says, "ABLE SEAMAN, ANY WATERS. Carry on.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Great job Tim and your crew 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much Milan. CUOTO
Watching your video from Glasgow, Scotland (not the bouy).
Fascinating stuff.
😂😂😂 Awesome! Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
You are doing a great job captain
Thank you very much for watching Dean. CUOTO
Again the master class. Always informative. With today's technology, all barges or waterborne craft of a certain size should have AIS.
Thank you for watching Tom. I appreciate your kind words. CUOTO
✅👍 Great job, having a barge loose must get the heart pumping even after hundreds of times. Tks Tim
Very True. It still does! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
You and the crew made that look easy, smooth bunches pros.
Thank you for watching Sean. CUOTO
Thanks for the content, I am a new AB working on the West Coast. These videos help me to understand the bigger picture. cheers.

thank you for what you do ,tim. be well be safe!!!
Thank you very much David. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Fascinating! I've never seen this before. I appreciate that you told your audience the moves and procedures that needed to be done. Nice work!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Mark. CUOTO
Hey from Tampa-St. Pete. Thanks for showing us this evolution. Nice job. Hang in there, Spring is coming!
I hope so! I'm freezing. (Wait for next week's video) 😂. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Outstanding! Always wondered how that operation goes down.
Well done!!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Joe. CUOTO
Good job Tim, Jack is top shelf guy, I worked with him most of my Tankerman career, tell him I said hello, we still talk couple times a month, I tell him where you guys have been what your doing, he is like how do you know what I’m doing, told him I have super powers , got a watchful eye on him every Tuesday lol, thanks Tim , glad got chance see him 👍🏼
😂😂😂😂 That is fantastic Robert. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Fascinating stuff
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
You are taking me back. As a kid, I remember when Ambrose & Scotland were lightships. We would fish around them on my dad's boat. Thanks for the journey :-)
Thank you very much for watching Rich. CUOTO
As always, another very interesting, well described video covering all of the varied aspects of Tug & Barge work. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for watching Doug. CUOTO
Good show. Never have seen that before. Thanks for the great video. Pete
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Pete. CUOTO
Nice tug you have there. Interesting to see how you tie the tow lines and then the push lines. Have a great day. Pete@@TimBatSea
Very interesting, I've never seen much of this type of work going on only read about it over several decades, I'll definitely be watching more of your videos!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
That was interesting, and it answered some questions I've always had. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Frank. CUOTO

Thank you for watching James. CUOTO
your welcome Tim
I’ve always been curious about going from the wire to push gear. Thanks for sharing Captain Tim!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Sylvester. CUOTO
Wonderfully interesting and informative, Tim. Thanks a lot. James.
Thank you for watching James. CUOTO
I have, (now had) always wondered how you setup for release of the tow, now I know, thank you sir ! Be Safe Out There
Thank you very much for watching. We usually do a different maneuver called rounding up where we turn the tug 180 degrees and land alongside the barge and "break the tow" there. But this time, pulling the pin made more sense. CUOTO
Thanks for showing this. We see tugs in push gear all the time on the St. Lawrence, but never changing from on the wire to push gear. We really can't get our motorhome to the point to watch ships out in Lake Ontario where we might see something, but we would probably need a telescope!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO

Ahhh my old stomping grounds. Looks like a nice day none the less
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
That beach looks familiar. Visited Staten Island once and rode the subway all the way to the end and ended up at that beach. Nice views, now I know what the barges were for
Thank you for watching Randy. That was actually Sandy Hook New Jersey. Starn Island is on the other side. CUOTO
Great video. 👍Very informative and excellent commentary as always.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Thanks!
Woohoo!! Thank you very very much! Cheers 🍻 CUOTO
Hi Tim! Glad to ee you back in NYC & environs. I'm an aviator by trade ,but totally fascinated by seamanship too.
Thank you very much for watching Alan. CUOTO
Great job guys so interesting on the process and steps for towing a barge.
Thank you for watching James. CUOTO
Tim this is a good time to goin there when fishing starts all you do is dodge small boss as ya the party boats are respectful
Thank you for watching Ed. CUOTO
Texas bah, always wondered what that was called. Cool, thanks Cap

Hey Tim, just got back from a week in Jacksonville. Our hotel was on the beach and I always have my binoculars to watch the marine activities. All sorts of fun. It's also interesting to follow along on the shipping location sites to get a little more info on the various vessels. Thanks, always interesting 😊
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel John. CUOTO
So many things could wrong and you only have to be wrong once. Keeping up with the traffic, the tide, the wind and the wave movements as well as keeping in the channel. Most of us never have to worry about bad consequences if we make a mistake. Good job.
You don’t do those moves in the main channel of a major port. You stay in safe water and out of the way while doing the evolutions. Being aware of the disposition of the tow and traffic are paramount. Getting off the wire is extremely hazardous and not to be taken lightly. Professional boat men do it with the fewest moves possible in a very specific order of operations. We go on and off the wire all times of day and many types of weather. Well practiced team work is what makes for success. These fellows know their work.
I have done the way this crew does it many times. I prefer pulling the pennant up shorter and putting a stopper on it. The slacking the wire . Keeping the shackle down near the deck. Remove the shackle , then loose the stopper . Much more control. This system has tension in three directions at once . I have seen the pin jam too many times. My bonafides 26years towing off shore.
Thank you very much for watching Larry. CUOTO
That was very interesting to see the change over, I imagine they is a fair strain on the towing wire if it dose come up tight. I see when we haul our trawl in and the swells roll up behind us the pressure gauge on the winch goes right up as were we are still going ahead well on the gear to keep the net all square and the fish in it.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
nice to see those channels are my old stomplng grounds
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Cool stuff!

Good to sea you TimB

Thank you for watching Eddie. CUOTO
Cool vid!
I picked up my 6pak and later the towing endorsement.
People laugh when I tell them I got the time required on my 10’ jetski.
USCG classifies it as a “power vessel”, so it’s good!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. I believe you have an "assistance towing endorsement". A towing endorsement is a bit more involved. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I’m sure you’re correct, especially since it was only a 10 question test.
I learned a lot though and found it interesting (bridles, bits, keeping in step, composites, etc).
Another thing I learned regarding the pecking order on who to yield to: seaplanes are at the bottom! They’re below power vessels and must yield to everyone else: (Not under command, Restricted in ability to maneuver, constrained by draft, fishing, sailing, power vessels, seaplane).
Thanks for the vid!
@@David-p7z9n We used to say "New Reels catch fish, so purchase some"
Not under command
Restricted in ability to maneuver
Constrained by draft
Engaged in fishing
Sailing
Powerboats
Seaplane
@@TimBatSea clever mnemonic! My Capt license study guide never had seaplanes in the pecking order list
Great video Tim, educational. It’s just a crying shame I wasn’t pro-active enough to get my papers in 79-80. Thanks for the lesson.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel John. CUOTO
I recognize that paint scheme and the big "V" on the boat. I've done some work on the pilot house electronics for your boats in the Seattle area, and it's nice to see how they operate under way!
Oh that's cool. We have one guy that comes to us from Louisiana whether we are in Puerto Rico, Texas or New York. We love him, some I'm sure the west coast guys love you. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Good job Tim. Just thinking that the largest tow I had was a 19 ft dory when I was raking sea moss in muscongus bay in the late 50’s. No comparison to what you guys do!
Thank you for watching Walter. I know Muscongus Bay. I grew up on Monhegan Island. CUOTO
Tim I can see you have a happy crew no friction on camera anyway lots of laughts

I live in Chicago and I was in NYC for the weekend and went to the Statue of Liberty on the 10am ferry yesterday. Did you see me wave? I love your videos and it was really cool to be on the same body of water as you. Thank you for sharing your videos.
That was me waving back Bruce! 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I was surprised to hear you say tow wire might hit the ‘sea bottom’! I was not thinking that was something to worry about!
Cheers Warren
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Oh yes. A shiny wire looks nice, but it's a dead giveaway that you dragged in on the bottom. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea good to know ‘how you know’😀
I just discovered your channel and I like it. I'm an old Navy Deck Ape turned Quartermaster and I miss the sea big time. Liked and subscribed!
Welcome aboard! Thank you very much for watching and subscribing Robert! CUOTO
Very interesting watching your winch and wire operate. I was on two ocean going tugs in the 60/70 , the ATF 101 Cocopa and the ATF 105 Moctobi which used a 6 inch main cable. Since I ran the Main Control powering the entire ship I Paid careful attention to the propulsion amperage and main winch loads. You never want to see that cable snap in and out of the water.
