Absolutely fascinating! Thank you from a 77 year old woman who still maintains and sails a 50 year old ketch (built by my late husband and me) and is in lifelong love with all things nautical. I wish I could handle my 32 footer as superbly as you handle those barges. After a lifetime around boats, including earning a living on them, I never stop learning and your channel is a university of ship handling!
Another 63yo woman here. i’ve been watching your channel on and off for about three years now. I definitely understand what it’s like to have a successful channel and try to launch a new one. My popular channel is about my helicopter flying, but the channel I’m working on now is about cruising in my Ranger Tug. I got my six pack captains license last October and just finished the Great Loop (mostly) solo earlier this week. Those channels created by the young and beautiful are nothing compared to what knowledgeable older folks like us can create drawing upon years and years of experience. Keep up the good work here and there. I’m not a sailor but I’ll check out that other channel.
I have lived on the island of Manhattan on the Upper East Side for 56 years all that time seeing tugboats zip up and down the East River and the Hudson River not knowing what they're doing, this it's fascinating, absolutely fascinating to me to be listening to a very articulate & professional tugboat captain explain every move while watching from inside the wheelhouse,this is a invaluable point of view all all those years I've watched tugboats zip up and down the East River and the Hudson River never fully understanding what you guys do out there on that crazy water.. very tricky stuff very impressive..
This is amazing to see - I've taken so many cruises and have never thought to search on RUclips for how this sort of thing works. Thanks so much for showing us this!
Thanks Captain for showing us your work and explanations. I'll probably never be working on a tug, cause I'm about your age but all technicalities are welcome, they help us understand what you are doing. Thanks again.
I took a cruise out of the Manhattan terminal and I watched the refueling process and was fascinated to see how long the whole process takes. Thanks for all you guys do to ensure we have a good trip!
Been on the Intrepid before and in that slip with the Disney Fantasy in 2012. Good memories of the aera, especially since I'm from CT. Thank you for the ride, Captain.
That's was quite brilliant Captain. Must have been quite something to see Captain Sully landing an Airbus on that river. Thanks for the video Sir, really enjoyed it.
Aww gee let's radiate them 🤣 Hey there Tim. You are fun, very informative in a detailed and entertaining way. Love your personality and channel. The music and production is great too. We learn from your work being that I bet most of us here have never done your type of job and will never even step foot onto a barge in our lifetime. Teamwork is vital when working with so many variables as you do. Oh I'm a woman who always love anything technical, trucking, trains, ships, mechanical, hydraulics, cranes, working with tools, etc. I want to check out the museum with all the space stuff there now. Sounds like fun. Safe travels.
That's crazy because I just recently had family members aboard that ship a couple weeks ago. I was supposed to go but unfortunately wasn't able. Love the videos and never knew you was into aviation because that makes two of us. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the videos with us all.
@@TimBatSea Just like you, I assumed this place was a sausage fest. What a relief to see some ladies out there appreciate this as much as I do! Ladies, thank you for joining us and CUOTO! Tim, thank you and CUOTO!
The amazing thing is that the how small the USS Intrepid looks compared to the cruise ship. Back when she was built they were considered to be one of the largest ships ever built! Great video!
The explanations were nice. Appreciated. I've heard you talk about putting the engine in "clutch" in a few videos. I always imagined you stomping on a huge clutch pedal (like in a manual transmission car, but 10x bigger because a tugs engine is so much bigger...).
This is absolutely gorgeous! You have the water right there by you, the skyline to your side, and getting paid for all of it! I cannot imagine anyone getting any luckier (unless they won the lottery or something)!
Definitely a subscriber Captain after watching some of your videos I'm a retired 44-year Long Haul trucker so I love content so much stuff that you never see or get a chance to see and I love your history on all the world war stuff I'm a junkie on everything that's War history related love it
Thanks for sharing, Tim! :-) Funny: early in the video you say you'll switch off the radar, so as not to radiate anybody on the cruise ship. Than seemed quite considerate to me. However, late in the video its shadow on the life boat shows the radar still turning. - Well, turning and emitting aren't technically connected, but I'd expected them to be on the same switch and switch position. ;-)
For not having done this for a while, you’re definitely doing a great job. I would say that was a pretty successful hook up. Well done to all involved support.👍👍🇨🇦
Very slick the way you backed the barge into that narrow space. And yes I would believe the money you’re putting into the Pequita. I used to own a Newport 30 MkII sailboat out in San Francisco. You have to love ‘em.
I'm a lady who lives on the LES of Manhattan and was always fascinated by the tugboats I've seen on the East & Hudson Rivers. I've prolly seen your ship/boat and didn't know what it was. Now, thanks to you, I do. And you have a new subscriber! ❤❤❤
Fantastic Capt. It always amazes me that cruise ships never seem to tell you well in advance where the fuelling port is, in this case three doors very close together though. The superb colours definitely match your super paella. 😂 CUOTO
I have been in and out of Chelsea Piers many times on the Costal Cruise Ship. That tide really rips through there. Timing the tide is everything with all that petroleum you are carrying around! Nice job.
The cool thing is that Intrepid is 3 or 4 museums in one. You have the ship, the WW2 and Vietnam history, the aircraft collection and the Shuttle with space stuff. And then there’s the sub and Concorde as cherries on the cake
Hey Cap… this one reminds me of the years back when I used to also operate tugs and bunker vessels for our national oil company in the Gulf of Paria Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹. The only difference is we mostly hip towed our barge.. capacity around 4000 + bl of fuel oil, diesel and the capability to blend what ever the customer wants. Her name is Marabella , she was brought here by Texaco to work in their marine opps @ Pointe-A- Pierre back in the day… her original name was Golden Condor
Great video captain!!! You make it look easy. I’m from Ontario Canada and I would love to come there and ride with you one day. You keep doing your thawing brother. Keep up the excellent work my friend!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Rob. "How are you now"? (If you are a Letter Kenny fan.) I'd love to have you along, but the Coast Guard doesn't allow even visitors let alone passengers. CUOTO
Awesome video. I use the “wheel away” from dock technique all of the time. Great for high profile boats in windy situations. Your videos are fantastic.
As a sideline, you could offer hull scrubbing services on those lifeboats. I see that on all the "newer" cruise ships where the lifeboats overhang quite a bit. Difficult to see the ships side at the waterline when coming alongside. Great skills throwing the line to the bitts in the side. We call em dutch bollards, or sunken bitts.
Capt'n TimB ... I am amused that now I know your channels "original hidden agenda" ... who would have thought that LOL Another educational, interesting and entertaining video Tim ... we enjoy your sense of humor as much as we respect your command skills. Stay safe. CUOTO
You really are a master craftsman at what you do. It is so enjoyable to listen to you as you calculate the precise maneuvers. This was a very enjoyable video to watch. Keep up the great work! Oh, and about the folks wanting the other angles. I hear you, you need to take care of the barge first! One idea might be to check into some fixed cameras so all you need to do is set it and forget it before you journey out and take the sd cards out when you are back at the dock. Pay a young kid a few bucks to sync it all up... That way you stay focused on the barge but we get more angles :) Take care Tim.
Just came across this very interesting video! Thanks for sharing, it was definitely fun and informative! Respect for you and all others that make things happen behind the scenes and allows folks like us to have a good vacation!
One way to explain "in clutch" to folks who don't know boats, it's the equivalent of putting your car in drive and letting off the brake but not touching the gas, just rolling along slowly.
Tim you are all out of luck with me. Male 68, been single 8 years since my wife passed. Sometimes think it would be nice to have a lady, but no, I am happy. I can window shop and move on. Never thought that another boat would fuel these big ones. They must take a lot of tones of fuel, several 100 maybe? You done a good job getting in beside it. Take care and stay safe. John Australia
I’ve probably got more years on refueling details during my Naval career than most people have years married lol. Pretty cool to see from this point of view, thanks for sharing!
If you are ever in South Jersey, the museum at the Naval Air Station-Wildwood is a worthy stop. It keeps improving over the years and now attracts drop in "visitors" from all the military air services. NAS Wildwood was an air training site during WWII.
I used to do bunkering as a tanker man. Cruise ships were always my least favorite. Trying to make sure you don’t hit a pane of glass or lifeboat with the crane, we would cover our fenders with white tarps so we wouldn’t leave any marks. Etc. straight terminal move work now.
In the vein of *_Anchorman,_* if you are new here, the assist tug is named ‘Steve & Dan’ (or maybe Don) after the first 2 ‘dudes’ to ever subscribe to Tim’s channel. They live in San Diego now which means ‘a whale’s…’ (Dann Tugs & the Dann family has a long & rich maritime history, I’m sure Mr. Stephen was a good guy, after all he did get a tug named after him …Sorry Tim, but the ‘dude’ comment caught me off LOL guard & cost me a uniform shirt this morning 🧑✈️)
😂😂😂😂😂 10 points! "My apartment smells of leather bound books and rich mahogany" 😂 You know me well if you are quoting R Burgundy!!! 😂 Thank you for watching CUOTO
Your explanations of what your doing in these maneuvers is excellent to let the viewers know exactly what's going on as you do it. Tides, wind & distance are important to know and you do it with precision . Thank you for the input & commentary to explain. It all . Questio ,, would it be helpful to have a thruster on those barges that you could control from the tugboat.as apposed to using tha second assist tug.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words Edward. It would be helpful, but costly too. Not only for the additional 1500hp engine, maintenance but also to get it inspected and ABS approved. CUOTO
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Matt. It always looks like I'm going to hit those boats but when we get there, it is never as bad as I thought it would be. CUOTO
Lol I was on the ship , thought that was you in the wheel house. Great job getting it in current was strong. Last week when the ship came in they managed to scrape the starboard side along the pier.
The funny thing here is that whether you pick fuel in the gulf, from Port Reading or what we get here in East Tennessee, it mostly comes from the same refineries.
Very nicely done Tim. I am always in awe of how well you control the tug and barge with wind and tide and expensive ships that you need to get very close to, without actually having a metal to metal contact, but this was especially impressive. It has just occurred to me that my wife and I are picking up the Viking Star in Iceland mid August, and finishing at New York early September, so I will definitely be looking out for a tug moving a tanker barge when we cruise into NY. Another level of coincidence is that I am a member of the Adobe User Group of New Jersey, and the odds on that are longer because I live in New Zealand. That's the power of the Internet for you.
Hello Tim the expected captain , l appreciated the view of the Hudson for me who lives on the other side of the pond . This approach maneuver with the tide was perfect helped by the other tug and seen from my sofa l would say with humor that you seem not to have suffered too much .

I used to do bunkering as a tanker man. Cruise ships were always my least favorite. Trying to make sure you don’t hit a pane of glass or lifeboat with the crane, we would cover our fenders with white tarps so we wouldn’t leave any marks. Etc. straight terminal move work now.

In the vein of *_Anchorman,_* if you are new here, the assist tug is named ‘Steve & Dan’ (or maybe Don) after the first 2 ‘dudes’ to ever subscribe to Tim’s channel. They live in San Diego now which means ‘a whale’s…’
(Dann Tugs & the Dann family has a long & rich maritime history, I’m sure Mr. Stephen was a good guy, after all he did get a tug named after him …Sorry Tim, but the ‘dude’ comment caught me off LOL guard & cost me a uniform shirt this morning 🧑✈️)
😂😂😂😂😂 10 points! "My apartment smells of leather bound books and rich mahogany" 😂 You know me well if you are quoting R Burgundy!!! 😂 Thank you for watching

Your explanations of what your doing in these maneuvers is excellent to let the viewers know exactly what's going on as you do it. Tides, wind & distance are important to know and you do it with precision . Thank you for the input & commentary to explain. It all . Questio ,, would it be helpful to have a thruster on those barges that you could control from the tugboat.as apposed to using tha second assist tug.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words Edward. It would be helpful, but costly too. Not only for the additional 1500hp engine, maintenance but also to get it inspected and ABS approved. CUOTO
Fantastic job as always Cap'n . How close was your superstructure to the ships lifeboats?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Matt. It always looks like I'm going to hit those boats but when we get there, it is never as bad as I thought it would be. CUOTO
Well you got another dude subscribed, thanks for posting!
Thank you very much for watching, and subscribing and welcome to the channel Bob. CUOTO
Lol I was on the ship , thought that was you in the wheel house. Great job getting it in current was strong. Last week when the ship came in they managed to scrape the starboard side along the pier.
Oh wow! I didn't know about that. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Thomas. CUOTO
How did you like that ship?
@@billdivine9501 Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Bill. It was a cruise ship, so..... Yeah. Nice ship. CUOTO
The funny thing here is that whether you pick fuel in the gulf, from Port Reading or what we get here in East Tennessee, it mostly comes from the same refineries.
Thank you for watching Larry. CUOTO
Very nicely done Tim. I am always in awe of how well you control the tug and barge with wind and tide and expensive ships that you need to get very close to, without actually having a metal to metal contact, but this was especially impressive. It has just occurred to me that my wife and I are picking up the Viking Star in Iceland mid August, and finishing at New York early September, so I will definitely be looking out for a tug moving a tanker barge when we cruise into NY. Another level of coincidence is that I am a member of the Adobe User Group of New Jersey, and the odds on that are longer because I live in New Zealand. That's the power of the Internet for you.
Thank you very much for watching Trevor. Hope you have a fantastic cruise and maybe we'll see you! CUOTO
Great manovering 🎉 all ship shape and Bristol Fashion 😮
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Hello Tim the expected captain , l appreciated the view of the Hudson for me who lives on the other side of the pond . This approach maneuver with the tide was perfect helped by the other tug and seen from my sofa l would say with humor that you seem not to have suffered too much .
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Denis! CUOTO
