USCG are my Heros! Saved my butt once and had my back once before that crossing the Columbia River Bar. My Uncle was on a Buoy Tender in the Gulf, my father did a year on the Icebreaker Northwind and 3 years at Alki Point Light Station working with Albert Anderson who was originally in the US Light House Service and served on Tillamook Rock Light, aka Terrible Tilly. My maternal grandfather was on the Cruiser Miami when it got hit by a Kamikaze in the final push to Japan, he was on one of the big gun crews and was pretty much deaf for the rest of his life. My entire family are commercial fishermen so many during WWII were not allowed to join the services because the salmon they caught were too important to the war effort, my grandfather got in on his fourth try. I did my share of fishing, have lived aboard my different boats most of my adult life, and was a Yacht Broker before having to retire. I still live aboard on the Columbia River and will do so until my time is over. I can't imagine a better way to live.
Ok. In the intro, what the hell video has the dude firing a rocket off a damn SeaVee?!?!? I have got to watch that, I love fishing on the boats. Great video as always!
@7:17....What's up with the Death Star Trooper? Was there a time warp aboard a' la The Final Countdown? Or is that Rick Moranis from Spaceballs doing a cameo...say whaaaat?!?!
I guess they don't repaint the bouy's before they relaunch them, the #8 bouy could have used a paint job. They also did not shoot the tube or at least show it. That was always the worst job on the bouy deck. Still miss those days.
It takes usually 2-3 persons, 1 or 2 AB’s and 1 officer to drop an anchor on even the largest commercial vessels. Beyond me why the navy requires 20-30 sailors to do the same. Obviously it is more a kindergarten at sea than anything else.
Kind of. Crew on commercial vessels are mostly trained career guys, with maybe some apprentices. The USN has high turnover and is always training new crewmen.
Listen I'm going to say how it is I think you guys should narrate your videos. Meaning you should have somebody talk instead of people reading. Because about 85 to 87% people have to read what you guys write and miss out most of the video because you guys are lazy instead of having somebody narrate what you guys write. So I give you guys a one and a half out of 10. I think you guys should improve with getting somebody narrating your videos
Read faster. The more you expose yourself to reading, the better you’ll be at it. Also it’s enough work to put together these videos for your viewing pleasure and knowledge gain, be grateful it’s there

They rock for sure. I boat a lot around the coast of the Carolina’s and have been checked a couple times. Professional group..
Captivating narration. Would listen again.

Good work ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊❤❤
Great Video. Stay Safe all Coast Guard and Navy personal. Semper Fi to my Brothers onboard these vessels.
I had to do this kinda stuff at a boatyard in alaska when i was a teenager. It was dirty hard work.
Exelente 👉👍
One small point; these buoys are not in the middle of the ocean.
And they are not "massive"
Those are standard sized buoys!@@bustertaco
Standard, not MASSIVE! Bill.
USCGC Basswood was a bouy tender. A friend served on 1983-1986 (?)
"Keeping them clean is a top priority." That HAD TO be for the video... have you seen these things?😆
Cool Commercial!
This should have been on Mike Rhohes DIRTY JOBS.
Mike Rowe is from Maryland. The buoy tender James Rankin is out of USCG Yard Curtis Bay just south of Baltimore City.
It was. He did an episode on a buoy tender.
Im curious anyone know how much does each bouy weighs?
@7:17....What's up with the Death Star Trooper? Was there a time warp aboard a' la The Final Countdown? Or is that Rick Moranis from Spaceballs doing a cameo...say whaaaat?!?!
I've gotta admit, they are strange looking planes
*Congratulation 😎🫵.*
No Mike Rowe?!?!
what is the pressure of these hoses, so many sailors are holding it.
Why a few minutes of buoy servicing then changing the subject ?
At what point did they clean "deep sea" buoys...as if there are bany in the deep sea...
I guess they don't repaint the bouy's before they relaunch them, the #8 bouy could have used a paint job. They also did not shoot the tube or at least show it. That was always the worst job on the bouy deck. Still miss those days.
You did not mention the CG was under the Department Of Transportation. Do research!!
They used to be but they are under the Department of Homeland Secuity. Back in my day they were but changed after 9/11.
Yes…DO research. 😂
a falta de maquinário adequado para realizar alimpeza
It is a dirty smelly job and back breaking. Give me SAR any day.
I really enjoyed my time on a black hull. Spent 3 years aboard the Cutter Papaw from 86 through 89 before BM A school.
Know why nun buoys are always even numbered?
“Nuns don’t do 69”

use anti fouling paint!

Tellem' again! Miss out on a lot because of reading.
