Even being a desert dweller, I'd hope to have enough common sense to keep my towed cat in the wake of the rescue vessel! Dang! RUGER
Not all heroes wear capes.Tales of this expedition will be told throughout the ages
Lol 😂
Nice recovery. Man I love your "office" so beautiful
Thanks Vancity! It's sure hard to beat the view...just need some AC this time of year 😂
Nice docking. nothing better when your broke down when you see the help coming. Awesome job
Thanks Brian!
If I was encountering large boats like that on the regular I would run a GoPro feed from the blind side back to the tow vessel via the wifi feature to have eyes on that side during difficult dockings.
Have you ever tried looking at your phone though a gopro before? It's for framing reference, not to actually see anything useful. Screen is too small and I'd have to focus on that and not the bigger picture
"Umm could you remind me how I steer my boat again?"
You take that big circle thingy in front of you and twist it left/right...he eventually figured it out 🤦😂
@@CaptKenO for a second I thought you were towing the Bismark, rudder completely jammed by a torpedo strike.
Lmao 😂
Sounds like a AI novel. Camera probably doesn't do it justice, looked like a pretty easy tow job. Why didn't he just come in one the one good engine ? Thanks Love all the rescues.
Thanks trucker! With the engines being so far offset, he wouldn't have had any directional control using just one engine
That guy must be good at something to afford that catamaran. Boating probably isn't it. 😆
I forget exactly what his speciality is, but he's a doctor in Tampa. As far as his boating skills, having a mechanical issue with your boat doesn't mean you're not "good at boating"
Not being able to figure out how to follow the tow boat make you not good at boating.
I'm not sure I exactly agree with that... But I see where you're coming from 😉
😂 that description… turbulent waters, adrenaline pumping 😂
Ai doing what it does best! 😂
Well done...what was wrong with boat
Thanks Robert! I don't know exactly what was wrong, but it blew a belt and was overheating...they replaced the belt and it blew it again, so 🤷
Question? When you are in tow or side tow do you have to announce a security call on 16?
No. The only time I do is when towing a big boat through a narrow bridge and that's just to cover my ass in case of an incident. I'd say at least 75% (probably higher) of the boats in the area don't monitor CH16...so there's not much point and we're not required to anyway
that was hard to watch!! You would think common sense would entice the crew to steer their boat to make the tow easier.
One would think so and most do...but not all of them
I have a question, why do you leave your engines running all the time. Seems like you would burn through a ton of fuel let alone the wear and tear.
Are you talking about the boat I'm towing?
@@CaptKenOI've noticed this too, except in salvage refloats, typically your engines are idling the entire time even when long periods of time pass tied to a stuck boat waiting for confirmation or the like.
I figured its just to always be ready for sea conditions.
It's more wear and tear on the engines to stop/restart them than to leave them running, and the fuel consumption is less than $10/hr at idle
@@CaptKenO makes sense
It’s also a safety thing if he needs to make a quick maneuver. Running engines go into gear much quicker than non running.
If he had a good engine, why'd he call a tow?
Too much differential thrust with the engines spread so far apart that the steering wouldn't be able to compensate
@@CaptKenO I see. That makes sense. Thanks!
The guy had a good engine? wtf, why couldn't he get himself in?
You ever try driving a cat with an engine offset longer than a small boat? I can tell you it wouldn't go very good
Just wondering here... did he say he had one good engine? If so, why did he not just limp back with the one good engine? Seems like that would have been the better way to get back.
Too much differential thrust with the engines so far apart
@@CaptKenO oh ok.. I was wondering. I remember an older fella in Reedsville VA once had a big cat with a dead engine and he was idling in just barely moving, and as we both met I was asking if there was anything I could do to help.. he said a cold beer and slow down so everyone would think it's just a super strong current. He made it back and I met up with him and turned out it was busted aluminum part on the water separator and the fuel line. There was nothing I could do but just hang out and give him encouragement.... and try to talk him out sinking the boat in the deepest part of the Chesapeake bay we could find. Lol
Hahaha. That's hilarious 😂
I've had a few people ask me something along those lines as well...Can I sink it and call the CG instead of paying to be towed? Will you tow the boat offshore and sink it for me? What happens of we just let it sink? Etc. 🤣
@@CaptKenO hahahahaha. Sadly I have had boat days like that...
If he has ONE good engine, why is he wanting a tow ??
Too much differential thrust to steer straight
