I would really appreciate your help building my other channel, SV Patquita.

So nice to have a live, knowledgeable narrator vs ridiculous AI. Thanks for great videos.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate that. CUOTO
You must be new here. 🙂
I always thought Tim B ran on AI 😀
@@lancecluster not much intelligence here. Artificial or natural. 😂
The new format is fine Tim.
I can appreciate that when your company is paying you to do a job, your job deserves your full attention.
I wonder if a version would be possible and acceptable, where you just leave the camera and live audio going and you totally ignore it and us?
The main thing is to keep your company happy and comply with their conditions though.
So glad to be able to continue seeing your work Tim
Thank you very much Ken. We'll see how it evolves. CUOTO
The narration is what really sets this apart. Its very interesting to watch but its nothing without the knowledge you share with us. I feel like I'm on the bridge with you and you are taking an interest in teaching me how to do this. I can feel the passion you have for this and I feel like you're sharing it with me.
Outstanding! Thank you very much for watching and sharing this with us. It makes me very happy. CUOTO
Tim, Your voice-over format is better than I expected. KUDOS! Not being able to see the chart plotter probably makes it more difficult for newbies to understand your explanation of the predictor line, but thanks for doing what you did.
When I watched last night's video of you explaining your new format, my heart fell a bit, but it's good to know that this will work.
I will still miss the clatter of the cavitation while you back-down.
Love what you do, and that you're still here.
Thank you very much! I am so glad you like it. CUOTO
I like your new format - more focused teaching. The speed up technique is great.
Outstanding! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
@TimBatSea I can only speak for myself, but I for one truly enjoy watching a proficient and dedicated professional no matter the task. I am guessing you have many years in your field, and I think that is why I watch when I can remember to do so. my father was a lifelong sailor from 1936 until the late 60's and he enjoyed all of it immensely with the exception of a few years during WWII as he was at Pearl Harbor when all hell broke loose and during the Korean and the early Vietnam debacles. Thank you for the content that you contribute for us.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Thank you Tim. The new format works very well for me although doing the voiceover will take you time. Very much appreciated. When I caught Covid last year it really knocked me back, so you take care and rest up. CUOTO
Thank you very much for supporting the channels Norm. I am so sorry you had a rough go of it last year. I am really feeling better today. CUOTO
Great share Cap! I really appreciate the privilege of being in the wheelhouse with an expert who can give the lay of the situation in friendly terms. I feel like I learn something with every viewing, even in long form it is a pleasure to be alongside! CUOTO ~__/)__*
Thank you very very much for watching, supporting and for your kind words. Very much appreciated. CUOTO
Thanks , Captn. Tim. I enjoyed the new video . While its not in real time as you used to be able to do, I think it gives you the chance to include a more detailed explanation of what is going on and why. There were also ships or landmarks that you used call out because you could see them from the wheel house but we couldn't see through the lens. In your new narration you see what the audience sees. To add to your wonderful explanation of forward thrust vs. reverse thrust I remember Captn. Tim's early lesson on tug boat hull configuration and how the bow sits much deeper in the water than the stern and your reverse thrust gets devided up and disipated when it hits the back side of the bow. Enjoyed the video. Its great to have you back. Hope you feel better soon. CUOTO
Thank you very very much for watching and supporting the channels David. CUOTO
Glad to see you back Tim … although I preferred the old style videos , I can get used to this version . Bottom line you are still making videos for us , so thank you 👍
Better than nothing, right? Thank you for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSeaabsolutely
"Right-hand twist" - Signature move 😉
😂😂😂😂 10 points. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Someone's been watching Growler Jams.
Great new format to your videos. The voice over format continues to be very professional and informative.
Outstanding. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Tim ... The new format rocks ... it definitely gives you more time to explain the complexity of what is happening during filming.
Trust the "Predictor Line" but verify LOL. Hope you're on the mend ... Stay safe. CUOTO
Outstanding George! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I love your videos Tim. I really like big machines and high horse power and your vessel sure qualifies. Please keep em commin.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Don! CUOTO
I helped out a friend the other day and also got my second load towards my PIC. The harbor feels quite small at 0400 working with a guy who has been on this harbor since the days Exxon was ESSO. In the darkness he is calling tugs by name hundreds of yards away without using AIS. Knows the captains, knows where they are heading, what they’re hauling etc.
Thank you for watching. He seems to be quite dialed in. CUOTO
Enjoy your videos, Captain Tim love the narration about how everything works. I find it fascinating
Thank great Ken. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
He’s Baaack! Lol! Great voice over too! It’s nice to see your notifications pop up once again, Captain. Keep getting well ASAP- Lord knows you don't need a former Navy Hospital
Corpsman on your back about it! God Bless! 🫡🇺🇸 -Doc Lykins
Thank you very much Doc! I appreciate that. CUOTO
Nice nice! We hope you're back good and healthy again Capt. Tim!!!
Going back to the boat this morning! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
This channel is always interesting to watch and I am very happy to see that not much will change with the new rules of engagement. Thank you very much for showing us how you do what you do as well as where you do it!
Thank you very much for watching Gary. CUOTO
Great video, Tim. Back-and-fill is the only way I get anything done on this ponderous single.
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
In the heavy equipment world there is a old saying, " slow is smooth, smooth is fast" I think it also applies to you guys.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Shopping cart analogy is perfect. I have a twin engine boat and I explain it as maneuvering the shopping cart. Each hand on the cart handle can push or pull the same as the prop thrust. Your shopping cart just happens to be really big. Haha. Imagine if there was tide and wind in the grocery store.
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Jay. CUOTO
Yay🎉 Happy to see you back🎉
Great narrative Tim
Cheers john
Thank you very much for watching John. CUOTO
Nice to see you back behind the helm Tim, it’s been awhile. Hope PAQUITA performed nicely for you this summer👍🏻
Thank you very much for watching John. Oh yes, in fact there is new content up over at SVP. CUOTO
That was really neat to be able to see the other boat coming in behind you maneuvering. It was interesting to see it from an "outside" perspective, since we usually see it from the "inside" on the channel. Hope you are back to feeling better!
Thank you for watching. Oh yes! I'm at 💯. CUOTO
When I worked at Harley many years ago we kept our equipment at the end where you turned. I always found the worst part about that channel is when they were docking ships and having to deal with the wash. Nice work there cap!!!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Really enjoyed the video.
We have a sailboat docked in New Bedford harbor.
The harbor is the staging area for the wind farm being built off Marthas Vineyard, therefor there is a major increase in tugboat action.
Thanks to AIS, it's easy to make contact with the captains and coordinate our courses as to not conflict.
Our conversations have been as friendly and informative as listening to your narration.
Must be a trait inherent to tug boat captains!!
Thanks
Jack
I would like to think so. Thank you very much for watching Jack. When you see the Tug Jaguar, be sure to call Captain Charlie and tell him I said hi. (He is an old friend). CUOTO
@@TimBatSea
I recall seeing Jaguar
Sure will pass on your regards Captain if our paths cross.
Outstanding. Seems like this format is gonna give you the opportunity to explain,educate ,inform better.
Good job adjusting Captain. My dad always said a monkey can adjust. We are supposedly smarter than monkeys. Sometimes I have to wonder,though.
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Thomas. CUOTO
Wow that other tug and barge looked like a toy up against that ship. New format is fine!
Outstanding Mark! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Cap, this new format is absolutely fine, and your explanation made complete sense. In fact, I think that the camera stability and vari-speed of the video is a nice bonus. Nice work!
Outstanding Henry! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Fascinating. I never thought about how these massive ships fuel up. I guess I envisioned some sort of gas station on the dock.
Thank you very much for watching. In many newer ports, that is exactly what happens. But not in older ports like NYC/NJ. CUOTO
Tim i actually like the voice over. You can give same explanations that you where doing and have more time to flesh out. I enjoy your channel and hope you get over covid soon.
Outstanding Chris! Thank you very much for watching. Going back to the boat this morning. CUOTO
I like the format change, was very informative. Hopefully you can still be a tour guide too as you move around the harbor. Maine boy doing well.
Thank you very much for watching and very glad you like it. CUOTO
Welcome back, capt. Very good show!
Thank you very much Don! CUOTO
Format is great! Fascinating how to of ship bunkering.
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Great video. I used to pull containers from Port Elizebeth and Newark. Worst time in my driving career. much better perspective of the port from your view. Retired now and really enjoy your videos. Be safe.
Thank you very much for watching Bruce. Enjoy that well earned retirement. CUOTO
You mean the real Captain Ron? lol CUOTO Tim.
😂😂😂😂! I was thinking the same thing when I said that. 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Fantastic stuff as always Captain 👏
Thank you Matt. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Very enjoyable video. And great explanations as usual. Actually, really great explanations. I've been underwater when ships pass by, sphincter puckering experience. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you very much for watching all these years. CUOTO
Do miss the plotter view and the radio banter. This format is cleaner though. Thanks Tim.
Great! Thank you very much for watching Stephen. CUOTO
Great to have you back. I like this format
Outstanding Donald. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
excellent video thank you Tim
Thank you very much for watching James. CUOTO
Awesome video tight quarters
Thank you very much for watching Chucky. CUOTO
👍✅ So far the voice over looks good Tim👏 I think this style will work out fine after a little practice.
I agree. A bit clunky but it will get better with time. CUOTO
Thanks Cap’n. Good to see you back.
Thank you very much for watching Doc! CUOTO
The pier is on pilings. The concrete doesn't go all the way to the bottom. The water flows under them. That's why you have current in those places.
Good explanation on how rudders work. Your sailboat also has a really large rudder compared even to the tugboat which has large rudders for a power boat as part of the function of a rudder on the sailboat is to balance sail forces along with the keel and develop lift while moving under sail.
They put flanking rudders on towboats that are used on the Western Rivers so they can steer while going astern. These rudders are located forward of the props. When going ahead they are kept centered. When going astern they are used to steer, and the regular rudders are kept centered.
CUOTO! Nice boat handling.
Thank you very much for watching Duane. Yes. All great info. CUOTO
A 360 camera might be a good addition Tim, would allow you to pan around and show whats happening astern or to port or starboard for that matter. Loving the new format. I think you will have to man the camera in your downtime though so we can still feel as though we are part of the crew lol.
Thank you very much for watching Steve. Baby steps. All in good time. CUOTO
Enjoyed the video and respect what you do to service the shipping industry. It is also clear to me your desire to make videos and to comply with any and all concerns. Good job. Take care, stay safe and CUOTO
Thank you very much! I appreciate that. CUOTO
new format is fine by me, i like it.
Thank you very much for watching Ron. CUOTO
Doing great with the new format cap.👍✌
Thank you very much Henry. CUOTO
Great video Tiim. If this format solves the problem that you and your company were having with filming while on watch, then you just hit it out of the park. I miss the radio chatter and the chart plotter but with all the viewing I've done, I can just bring the area up on Google Earth and be just fine. Keep working on it and I wish you the best of everything, CUOTO, Ed
Outstanding Ed! Thank you very very much. CUOTO
Great stuff, as always
Thank you very much Chris. CUOTO
Capt., this is a good way to view your videos. Hopefully everyone will go along with you!
Thank you very much for watching. I am so happy you like it. CUOTO
Glad to see you are back. Great explaining. Be safe,and God bless
Thank you very much for watching Elizabeth! CUOTO
Hi Tim nice video mate nice views ,,I love watching transport moving freight around makes me wonder where it came from ,,,Thanks for the videos Tim I appreciate them cheers ❤️🙏💪👍👏👏 Cuoto 👍
Thank you very much for watching Jess. CUOTO
The voice over works fine for me
Outstanding Jim! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Very good and informative video!
Thank you very much for watching Elwood. CUOTO
New format is fine. I really liked the moments when I felt like being with you in the wheelhouse, but I get where they come from with new format. Although nothing beats the hearing your live commentary, and when with a fresh cup of coffee, "we" were picking up the barge in the morning. Stay safe and see you at the next one.
Thank you very much Karl. CUOTO
The new format is fine, in some ways maybe better. I watched your explanation video and can understand the concerns of the powers that be. it must have been very gratifying for you to get those words of encouragement from certain parties.
It was Ralph. Thank you very much. CUOTO
Rolling with the punches Capt. Love it and happy you are “trucking along”. Feel better soonest. CUOTO!
Thank you very much Chuck. CUOTO
This will do... still good stuff Tim.
Glad to hear it! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Thx for the vid.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
You certainly were more relaxed when you were live in the wheelhouse, but I think this will work with time.
Baby steps Wally. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Tim you are very enlightening with how things work
Thank you very much for watching Ed. CUOTO
Hi Tim Just to let you know some of us understand what you are doing and why as my Dad bless him was a tug master for many years on the river Tyne in the UK and I spent many happy hours aboard, his last tug also had a Kort Knozzle propeller so keep up the good work pity I cannot attach some photos
Thank you very much for watching Michael. Have you seen NormTyneShips UA-cam channel? He's a Patron and has a fantastic channel about ships on the Tyne. CUOTO
If this is the new format I like it and approve thanks Tim G.
It is! Thank you very much Garth! CUOTO
I'm subscribed to Chief Makoi, a marine engineer. He said that the ships can run diesel at sea but when they approach land they need to switch to a cleaner fuel in order to meet international marine rules for air pollution.
Thank you very much for watching Larry. I think you may have misinterpreted Chief Makoi. They burn heavy fuel in international waters and switch to diesel (also known as maneuvering fuel) when close to land. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Sorry, I think you're right. But it sounds like it is not plain diesel anymore. Also, I've seen fuel oil number 5 before and it is nasty stuff. It has the viscosity of a slug.
Missed your videos TimBatSea Thank you.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
The new format works really well.
Keep up the good work !
CUOTO…
Thank you very much for watching Peter. CUOTO
Cutos on your return, I thought I would miss the electronics and radio chatter but your voice over has filled the gaps.
Outstanding! I think I'll get better with time. CUOTO
Had a friend that was a Foss tug captain in Los Angeles. I thought it was odd, he was a non union guy, but his crew was union.
Thank you very much for watching. That's actually how those things usually work. Captains are considered management. CUOTO
I was engaged in diving operations with 3x divers flags up plus day shapes, BDB.
A ‘fizz boat’ speeds over and asks what all the flags are about. I replied that he’d probably run over a diver. 😱
“Oh, OK”, he says and zooms off. 😳
GO FIGURE. Stay safe out there. 👍
WTF....... Amazing. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I thinks that the new format of the videos is going to work well, Tim. I understand that the circumstances have changed and that is beyond your control, but I think that you have adapted well. Thanks.
Outstanding Kim! I am so happy you like it. CUOTO
When you are a kid all kinds of ideas come to you. I was keen on bolt-on powered stern units which could be attached and detached easily from load carrying hulls, meaning crew needn’t wait for loading/ unloading. They’d just find another hull to shove…Like your barge shoving business but ocean going.
Less practical was vessels containing heavy plastic concertinas in the holds. The idea was that tankers needn’t sail home in ballast but could fill up, say with grain on the return leg (or anything but oil). Unloading the grain would help reduce the energy needed to fill the ‘oil’ concertina on the next trip. Filling one concertina would displace (push back) the other one.
Tim, do you have any radical ideas as to where things might go next?🤔
By the way, the light and colours in this vid is beautiful!
Thank you very much for watching Stephen. We all have ideas, but not money or time to make most of them happen. 😂 CUOTO
Thanks Tim good to see you back
Thank you very much for watching Harry. CUOTO
Thanks Tim, new format is great, explaining as you view the video.
The saying "worse things happen at sea" is very appropriate to describe some of the incidents to potentially occur?
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Oh yes another TimBat video!!! I Was so worried
Thank you very much for watching Andy. CUOTO
A very good video, I learn something on all of your videos....CUOTO.
Outstanding James! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Thanks buddy
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
15:15 - If you look at the western end of the channel, near that U-turn ramp, there is a creek that dumps into the channel.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I think this format results in a better video as your concentration is not divided
Outstanding Dave. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Hi Captain, it works fine, and in some ways it is a lot better as you are not narrating live with the interruptions that were on the previous format, not that i minded them BTW. Hope you are recovering from your COVID infection. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Malta
Thank you for watching Stephen. Hey! Crisalída and I hope to get to Malta next year or the year after in SVP! Hope we can share a drink with you when we get there. CUOTO
Great content Tim ,get well soon
Thank you very much for watching Colin. CUOTO
Interesting maneuver on this one, and I liked the format. It would be better to get your 'live voice' during recording, but this is about as good. I like to see your throttle / steering adjustments as you go, but I like to get technical about things and that's just me.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
The VO works and if it allows you to speed up the less interesting parts I think that that is a good thing. Compressing a 45 minute video to 20ish minutes makes it more likely that I will watch the entire thing.
Great! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
When I worked for weeks we put those pads on the dock current is a pain in there
💯!!!! Thank you very much for watching George. CUOTO
The new format isn’t bad. Could
You add a radio scanner to pickup the chatter between you and the crew and Bridge to Bridge?
That’s the only part that I miss that isn’t in the new format.
I would be happy to donate a scanner and battery/power solutions to the channel if you’re interested. Would
Program it and everything for Marine VHF. Let me know.
Thank you very much for watching and for your generous offer. This is just the beginning of us navigating through the new restrictions, but I think that we may be able to add something like that in the future. CUOTO
I drive a semi truck and before that a hotshot (dually pickup towing a trailer). I created content about my trips and posted them here on YT but there's the issue of what I'm doing as I'm driving down the road. Using a cell phone or camera while driving a commercial motor vehicle and getting caught can lead to fines that are in the many thousands of dollars, both to me as the driver and to the company which is me in my case. I have warned many other trucker UA-camrs about some of what I observed in their videos as they are posting themselves in distracted driving situations. I'll certainly miss your old video format but I completely understand... it's the reality of the world we live in now. It certainly will not stop me from being here every Tuesday!
Awesome. Thank you very much! CUOTO
Hi Tim, Years ago you could show us the barge and your engine and rubber controls on a split screen. I really enjoyed those shots. It showed how you manipulate the tug to get the barge where you wanted it. With your new video format is it possible to do split screens again? Thanks, nice work Tim.
Thank you for watching Art. I'm not sure that will be possible again, but we'll see. CUOTO
All good, but do miss the radio calls with the crew.
Good luck.
Thank you for watching Geoff. CUOTO
I can see that you're on the slip between P.N.C.T. and Maher Terminals.
Thank you very much for watching Jay. CUOTO
BTW- I can get use to the new format! I can still go back and look at past videos.
Hello from Chiang Mai Thailand
Thank you Frank. CUOTO
IMHO: "Why are you moving so slow?" - "Because you should never approach something faster than you're willing to hit it!".
Everyone keep in mind, that tug and barge have a combined mass of several thousand tons. While Tim is doing that rotation, the whole thing keeps moving in to direction they were originally going. While they're turning, Tim has no ability to control that speed (basically, he's skidding). Imagine if he was going faster and didn't time the spin exactly right and the whole thing going haywire like one of these Mustangs you sometimes see videos of... only that a Mustang is maybe 2 tons, while this is e.g. 6000 tons half empty. Full? 9000 tons (just a guess, correct me if I'm wrong)
Seems about right. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
also a single screw will almost always pull to port when backing.
Thank you for watching Roger. Yes, but only if it has a right hand wheel. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I ran fishing boats(100-125 ft.} The only left hand wheel I've seen was on a twin screw.
Tim, actually like the voiceover production better than live. You have to edit the video anyway, so talking over while you edit might even give you a different perspective as you watch it as against doing it live. If that makes sense. CUOTO.
Outstanding! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Outstanding! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Another great video! Was the second delivery tug/barge to close to you? From my non situational chair I thought you could have backed out into the clear water past the channel and then turned towards the tank farm. Would this have put you and the second delivery to close? As you were exiting the channel it was interesting to see the prop wash still coming from the tug on the port side. Was he fighting the current or driving into a line? Thanks for the NY scenery and the sharing of your knowledge.
Thank you for watching Sandy. Actually, our orders changed. I was going to our lay berth, but got the new orders. The tug alongside the ship would be working into a line to hold position. CUOTO
Man you be all screwed up with the wind was really blowing there we twist me everywhere
Thank you for watching Michael. CUOTO
Feedback.
I think I like the new format.
Outstanding! Thank you very much. CUOTO
Brought some King Oscar gold to a posh dinner party without an intention to serve but, was asked if I had any? So, that went well.
Awesome! They really are amazing aren't they? Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Great video, I like the voice over much better . Just asking, before you did the turn next to the cargo ship, did you call it and inform the Captain what you were doing?
Thank you for watching Gary. Once a ship is docked, they don't monitor the radios. But before doing a maneuver like that I call VTS. CUOTO
