Due to a miscommunication, this scheduled tow was about to turn into a waste of time. Our company policy is that we need someone to ride on the boat (preferably the owner) when it’s under tow in case something happens. Our national dispatch incorrectly told this customer that he didn’t need to ride on the boat and never noted that in our dispatch. Luckily for me, I had Bobby with me this morning, and he, although reluctantly, agreed to ride on the towed boat for the several-hour tow to our destination.

AI-Generated Description:
In this video, we take you along for what was supposed to be a straightforward towing job, but a miscommunication nearly turned it into a complete waste of time! Our company has a strict policy that whenever a boat is under tow, someone-ideally the owner-needs to ride on the boat. This is crucial in case anything unexpected happens during the tow. Unfortunately, our national dispatch team misinformed the customer, telling him that he didn’t need to ride along. To make matters worse, this important detail wasn’t noted in our dispatch instructions.
When we arrived to begin the tow, it quickly became clear that something was off. Luckily, I had Bobby with me this morning, and even though he wasn’t exactly thrilled about it, he agreed to ride on the boat for the several-hour tow to our destination. Without him stepping in, this tow could have been called off, wasting everyone’s time and effort.
In the end, we were able to complete the job, but this situation highlights the importance of clear communication and sticking to safety protocols. Watch as we handle the unexpected and navigate the challenges that come with towing boats over long distances. Whether you’re in the industry or just curious about what goes into these jobs, this video offers a unique look behind the scenes!

Awesome job on the reverse hip! Clean as can be!
Thanks Capt!
Another great tow job thanks!!!!
Thanks Jay!
You know it's quite scary how some people just do not comprehend the usage of Greece and maintenance
Bobby seems pretty laid back. I'm sure he was a bit frustrated, but why let it ruin your day.
Yes he is! That's one of the many reasons I enjoy working with him!
excellent job captain !!
Thanks seashrimp!
Ken, great video! Don't feel bad for Bobby, he signed on as your apprentice basically and being aboard the cat is part of his job.
Thanks Mikey!
It wouldn't have been a problem if he knew ahead of time that he was going to ride on there...he just was looking forward to doing the tow himself and not babysitting the other boat
Capt, Bobby of Creola!!!!
Идеально!🙋✊👍
Good job Capt. Ken and Bobby. More great content with beautiful scenery. I felt bad for that Cat.
Thanks Art!
Bobby said the interior of the boat was actually in pretty decent condition and not reflective of the exterior
@@CaptKenO Good to hear. I'd love to own another sailboat, but I think my boat owning days are behind me. I just settled into my new home in WPB, so I'll have plenty of time on the water while scuba diving. Maybe even do some charter fishing.
It's definitely a lot of work owning your own boat and sailboats are probably the worst ones what with all the extra rigging and everything
@CaptKenO Yeah, my last boat was a 27' Catalina, I sailed on Lake Erie. And you're right. Owning and maintaining a sailboat, or any boat for that matter, is a lot of work. Especially in salt water.
@traveling_art why do you think I just work for the people who own the boats? 😂
Now I have seen some beautiful impeccable boat piloting okay in my day for what I just watched you done that's a man right there that knows his boat up one side and down the other inside out
Thanks Curtis!
Is that a new camera? The video quality looks better in this one, or maybe it is the morning light.
Looks good doesn't it? The camera manufacture released an update to their software that let me change some settings...all future recorded videos should look much better!
@@CaptKenO Ken is it settings in the camera that can be changed, or changes in the editing software they provide? I'd like to take advantage of the changes.
@sethg.4127 in the editing software. There might be a new firmware release as well, but I haven't checked
Great job. Both of you guys
Thanks David!
You make look easy Skipper!
Thanks Tom!
Dispatch did that to me once and I ended up having to pay you guys 100 dollars for someone to ride on the boat and tie it back to the mooring ball because I was out of state when it happened.
Cheap, or per hour 😊
Yep. They screw up sometimes...unless it was a really short tow, you're lucky it was only $100
@@CaptKenO Was from the mud in front of bay front park back to the mooring field ball 12 in 2019 probably before you started there? Very short literally less than 200 feet so I guess I got lucky there
I know you helped me re-anchor one of my boats though I still have a Captain Ken saved in my phone. Before towboat dropped me for over use it was fun while it lasted.
Ah OK. Yeah. Definitely putting a boat back on a mooring they'd need another set of hands.
2019 was before I even started working for TBUS in Venice 😂
Another great job Cap'n. Bobby's coming along nicely under your tutelage.
Thanks Del!
