Embarrassed to say that’s my boat. But, I do want to thank Kevin and the Winthrop Harbor Masters and Joe from Tow Boat US for their quick a professional response. Joe knows how to handle his boat and his professional and reassuring manner helped to calm the situation. Also, want to thank Loyd and Crystal Cove Marina for having the crane and operator standing by and having the boat hauled within minutes of our arrival. Thank you all.
That’s a pretty terrific interaction, Dropping your own rudder is such an embarrassing situation. You treated him like a gentleman who belongs on the water. That was very kind of you. Recreational boating and flying are both incredibly dangerous, thanks to you for keeping folk safe and helping protect their investment
That’s my neighbor and friend boat, he told me he had a big trip planned but he had to cancel it the other day he told me he would Phil me in when he had the chance.🤷🏾♂️ Nice job handling those boats in there it’s stupid tight at low tide I don’t even like going over there to get fuel at low tide.👍
I admire that boat every time I have a lobster roll. And I also know that marina where the haul out was. My stomach was in knots watching you get in there at low tide hahaha
That bow-to-bow maneuver around the corner was crazy! How long have you been towing for? How many years boating experience did you have before becoming a tow boat captain?

No reason to be embarrassed... Accidents happen... Glad you were able to get her handled!!
@PaulLeavy-n9v did you lose the rudder entirely?
Yes, can’t understand it. 3 divers in my slip. No luck. New one on order.
@@PaulLeavy-n9v thank you. Be safe.
Amazing boat control, your always in control.

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
It's kind of cool seeing the waters I grew up on in this video.
that was some very slick maneuvering in a very tight spot
awesome maneuvering.
Incredible work Captain!
Thanks!
You my friend are a pro!!!
Your operating skills make me look like a rookie. Videos teach me a lot. Sure makes me want a Suzuki on my next boat too. Thanks for sharing
You are a master at the helm and throttle!!

Great job docking with a single screw
I think the Harbor Master was impressed with your skills. So was I.
Thanks!!

Thanks! Been doing this about 8 years. Working on the water for about 15.
Great videos! Amazing how you maneuver the boat. Curious, what brand and size is the towboat?
It's a 25' privateer hull with a custom pilot house.
Help me understand, did the owner mechanically unbolt the rudder post?
Yes, while attempting to fix another issue.
Nice
