Interesting stuff with the assist tugs there, they've been operating in the are since 1956 or when the oil boom era from CORCO industry. My grandma spoke about seeing the big ships arrive to that bay in the 60's. Fair winds and following seas sir.
Thank you for watching Eddie. Yes. And Corco is still there. In fact the dock we went to is a Corco dock. CUOTO
Thank you
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
You sure are much more relaxed and in control in the wheelhouse of the tug. Paquita seems to bring much more anxiety and concerns. When you noodle out the source of these differences, maybe managing them both to balance your happiness will become clear. CUOTO! 🇺🇸⚓️
I believe you are correct Sir! 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Future video Idea: When towing another vessel, often the tow sheers off to either side. Some vessels are docile and follow behind, others are just beasts. For example during a tow a while back the tow was almost at right angles abeam the towing vessel, the tow heeled way over under the strain of the towline and it just would not come back. Keeping such tow under short stay is the solution to maintaining control. Explain the hydrodynamics behind why this sheering off happens ie the differing flow of water over each side of the tow, interaction, etc.
Thank you for watching. Good idea. That is a reason why GateLines were invented. CUOTO
Great video Tim, I love the barge maneuvering and you do it so well.
Thank you very much Kim! CUOTO
Great job Capt.
Any signs of Dalton ?😂😂😂😂

Dalton is cutting his teeth as a new mate in NYC. (I will be working over up there next week and hope to see him). Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Loved it Capt, thanks!

When you are on anchor as you are in this video, do you stay on the tug 24/7?
Thank you for watching John. Yes. We are on the tug for three weeks straight. (We send a couple guys out to go grub shopping for us twice a hitch) CUOTO

So.... new channel name?? Tim Bee at Sea!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 10 points 😂 Thank you very much for watching Heath. CUOTO
Tim Beekeeping At Sea!! I think I need more coffee. Thank you for the explainer and the dance - BZ to the crew and the skipper too! #CUOTO ~__/)__*
Thank you very much! CUOTO
That was wonderful. I try manuever with you; guessing which engine, fwd or reverse, etc.
Some extraneous talk. To your port there was a dark hull tanker moving. I thought it was going to sea. But in appeared to be docking. I did not see any assist tugs.
Speaking of Cajun "talk" I worked the lower Mississippi. Grand Isle, Venice, Port Fourchon. The approx 9 months i was there, and i don't exaggerate, i always needed a crew member from the area to translate for me, the radio traffic, not the Cajun, but the accented english. 😮😅
ya got dat right chere
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. White rice with every meal. Even breakfast. CUOTO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3 inches, 3 feet, 3miles. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Keith. CUOTO
How cute you considered the bee on your windshield. This is very fun to watch. Cute assist tug. My dad's name was Oscar. Blessings...
Thank you very much for watching! CUOTO
Thanks for the great video.
Question; what happens if is decided there's no avoiding a strong hurricane? Besides filling the barge, do you anchor in the best shelter available? Does anyone stay with the tug/barge, or do you evacuate the whole crew and pray?
Thanks again.
Thank you for watching Ralph. No, unfortunately we can not leave the tug or barge and as soon as the Coast Guard declares condition Yankee all commercial ships have to get out of all effected harbors. So last year when hurricane Ian (I think) came at Puerto Rico, we got underway and went 3/4s of the wat to Venezuela to avoid it. CUOTO
Tim remember a few years ago in new York harbor you were going alongside a ship in a big storm at nite that was very stressful I know but we’ll done brother
Thank you for watching Ed. All those stressful nights are quickly forgotten as soon as I get off the tug. 😂 CUOTO
Captain Tim, You mentioned possible heavy weather preparations such as loading the barge and from your other videos you said you put out to sea so my question is where do the assist tugs go like the Don Oscar ? Do they try to anchor up somewhere or tie up to a dock or put out to sea also? Stay safe Captain Tim ! CUOTO
Thank you for watching Dean. I believe they stay put in the protection of the harbor. That is not an option for use because of the barge (lite or loaded) as soon as the Coast Guard declares condition Yankee, we are forced out of the harbor. CUOTO
You should have told her you just bought a life time supply of raid. 🐝
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Jeffrey. CUOTO
Must be tough having a hand like that calling you in! No offense to him
Thank you very much for watching. Everyone has a day in the barrel. 😂 CUOTO
Hey Tim, nice video. Nice to see a slightly different POV on this one. CUOTO, Ed
We're trying! Thank you very much for supporting the channels Ed. CUOTO
That’s a huge barge hey are they the same size as the barges in NYC
Thank you for watching Eddie. Most of the videos I shot in NYC were 30k bunker barges. This is a 50k (50,000 bbl) barge. CUOTO
Awesome stuff! CUOTO!
Thank you for watching Lester. CUOTO
Parallel parking is as much art as science, car or barge. Those last few feet (inches) are always tricky. 😀
Looking forward to more videos of the East and North rivers, Hellgate, and the Sound.
Thank you for watching Jim. I am scheduled to go back to NYC to work over for a week next week. Should get some fresh content for you then. CUOTO
Enjoyed the show Tim👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching Milan. CUOTO
Nimble maneuvering!!
Thank you very much! CUOTO
Super interesting. Nice team work. That’s some pretty precise positioning that the guys are asking for!
I know, Right? (Drives me crazy) 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you very much for watching Jay. CUOTO
CUOTO👍✌
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Looks like a maneuver that likes some momentum going into it.
That's the last thing the caption of the Titanic was said to have said. 😂 😂 😂 Thank you for watching Benjamin. CUOTO
the camera angles were great on this one!
😂😂😂 Thank God! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Tim honestly how did you feel when you did this solo
Thank you again Ed. I have always done the jobs alone in the upper house. It wasn't untill recently (last 5 years or so) that I trained people up there too. CUOTO
No I mean when you first started out
@edswider9309 like most things, it's more of a challenge at first, but gets easier with time.
Love these "how to" videos!
Thank you for watching William. I am trying to do more of this style. CUOTO
Tim where is home your boat
Thank you for watching Ed. My sailboat boat is usually on the move with the seasons. My official residence is in Florida. CUOTO
Oh I thought PR
Cool endless summer it’s a wonder life

Thank you for watching and supporting the channel Garth! CUOTO
Hey Tim, Yes bees need a few days in a hive location before they are released. I remove bees and Africanized ones here in the Texas Panhandle.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Hi Captain Tim, thanks for your videos and for your motivation in everyone.
Thank you for watching Luis! CUOTO
I often move my barges with headline or on the hip. Never would have thought y’all move those on the hip lol.
Thank you for watching Chris. It allows us to stay made-up. CUOTO
Good job. 👍A very professional job as always!

Enjoyed this. Thank You.
Thank you very much for watching Jack! CUOTO
Great job Cap. another barge safely docked!
Thank you Ted! CUOTO
Great vid. Reminds me when I worked on a lobster dock watching the boats docking to offload their catch. Just like you, they knew how to handle their boats almost like they were one with them. Now I’m thinking that “Reds” might be a good place for lunch!
Are you suggesting Red's Eats in Wiscasset? I love that place!!! Thank you for watching Walter. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Yup…Reds deck was hit by a northbound ups semi a couple of days ago. They are still open and selling one of the best lobster rolls in Maine.
