Interesting trip, thanks for bringing us along. It is great to see you use all the transit - I am on the west coast and people love their cars here, kind of a status symbol which is so materialistic to me.
not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last months xD
It's cool to watch your video. Being a resident of kingson, a local marine mechanic and captain my self, I have passed your tug on the dry dock several times! Sweet video Capt!
I live just a few miles from Falmouth. Looks like your father has a nice spot. Been hooked on your tug videos. Keep up the good work. If you get that rig up to Maine I need a ride 😁
Great video. My daughter is a captain in Portland Maine with Mcallister and she loves it. I can see why. If I could do it again I know what i would do!
Fascinating! It was even interesting to think about the maneuvers you have to go through just to get to your next hitch. How great that you were able to work in a visit with your dad and daughter! Thank you for sharing your dad with us! I am fascinated that they are using aluminum anodes! I will be anxious to hear how that works out. Loved this whole process!
Thank you again Laura. So it's been over a year now and I have learned more about our switch to Aluminum anodes. I was not aware and had never heard that the old zincs we used for years actually glaze over in fresh water (after a prolonged exposure). This would reduce their functionality and was the reason why we made the switch. We have not been out of the water since then, but I will eager to see how the new ones are holding up. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I have never heard of them glazing over in freshwater! I am going to be pulling my houseboat out soon and will check mine! I never replaced my previous house boat’s anodes, even after 23 years! They always looked pretty darned good. Is the glaze you speak of visible?
@@lauravalerius4667 I would think it would show by not seeing any signs of galvanic corrosion. (23 years and looking good? I'm guessing yours were glazed). Of course if you are only in fresh water and not brackish, galvanic corrosion is greatly reduced. I think the big problem is when a boat that normally in is salt water , spend 6 month or longer in fresh and then returns to salt. CUOTO
my dad passed in 1977. he was 64. it was a sad day when i was 64 and at the day he died. i out lived him. RIP Dad. my father worked for mcallister , during ww2 he piloted for moran and in the 30s he worked for texaco. interesting Tim Bat at sea
Just found your channel. Cool content. It’s nice watching you come into the Rondout creek and heading to Feeney’s. Hope you got to spend a little time here. Living in Kingston we think it’s a nice place to be.
If you ever take the barge canal across New York State and into Cayuga Lake many Sail boats have to call the Beacon Bay Marina ahead of time to request their masts be removed in order to clear a railroad bridge. The crane barge is actually an old U.S. navy Higgins landing craft with an old crane truck parked in it.
I'm really enjoying your vids. Spent early years, after high school, Boston Naval Shipyard. Now retired in Falmouth Heights, Cape Cod Mass. I just love being on the ocean, watching the boats and an occasional ship on Vineyard Sound or Cape Cod Canal.
This is fascinating... I'm quite familiar with the Rondout Creek in Kingston and I'm fascinated by the Tugs and their cargo as they move up and down the Hudson past my home in Hyde Park. This is excellent... Thank you!
Great video!! I really like this one since my friend is a Port Engineer for Kirby. I know he uses Feeney and I have always wondered what it looks like up close.
Tim, I'm very much enjoying your videos. I grew up just South of Indian Point and spent much of my teen life just North of the Bear Mountain Bridge on the Hudson. I had a 21' cabin cruiser and traveled the Hudson from Liberty Island to Lake Champlain. I spent several weekends on Rombout Creek back near the falls. Back then I wanted your kind of life, but became an electrical engineer instead, and worked on the Space Program among other things. I retired from that computer company up there and now live in Central NC quite a way from the water, and I miss it. Seeing your videos is bringing back some great memories. Thank you.
@@alholliday1808 I worked in NY, but commuted to Huntsville almost every week for a year and a half in the very early 70's. I got "loaned" out after working to design the machines that made the IC modules that went on-board, then going to Huntsville to do upgrades. I guess they liked me. Much time was spent with Sid King's dept.
@@charleyl264 My dad moved up to the Kingston plant when it opened from Poughkeepsie. Typewriter department untill they moved that department to BG Kentucky. Switched to Military products. We moved to Huntsville fall of 64.
I have watched a lot of your videos in no particular order. I really enjoy them. Your commentary is great. Answers a lot of question in the process. Would have loved to have done your job instead of the one I did for 36.5 years. But living on the Canadian Prairies, I never knew your job existed. To be honest, the 2 weeks on part might be an issue, but the rest of the job is really interesting. Don't let the critics get to you. You are doing a great job on these videos.
The view down the water..incredible. Another world. Editing sound on your video takes a little know how. I'm sure you will get it. To important to miss. Thanks for posting.
I was envois of those huge rudders, I had to struggle with twin engines, single centre rudder. Fantastic when two engines were running OK. But trying to steer with just one engine was a nightmare, she'd go one way OK but not the other. Was thinking of fitting twin rudders but had a hate of shipyards, my bank manager had the same hate. But with both engines OK Lazy Days was a dream to handle, I once went astern right though Dover marina to a berth way back in there. The marina crew and some other boaters commented, I told em I drove excavators and you brake one track to steer, so twin engines work the same. I'm going to stop now, no more prattling on. I just love your vid and how you present them.
Oh Yes. The big rudders are great, but come at a cost of drag. Not a problem for us, but you might have seen a substantial reduction in speed on your boat. Thank you again!

That smile your Dad gives the camera... Priceless. Also, some nice old boats where you stepped the mast, including what looks like an old rail barge. Is that the maritime museum?

@@TimBatSea i been subscribed some time now . Wanted to change careers in my 30s and be a tug operator. Never did and 51 now and install inground pools. lol
Love the videos. Father was a 100 ton captain for a 80’ charter boat. Showed him your videos. He loves watching them as much as I. Did you really say the remaining 18,000. Did you mean 1,800?
Nope. 18,000. We hold about 60,000 on those boats and just over 100,000 on the 4200 Tugs. They burn about 4k a day. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't already.
We have big rudders that are hydraulically controlled. You should be able to see them just aft of the propellers. The hole in the middle allows us to remove a shaft without having to remove the rudders. Thank you for watching.
I’ve never seen the engine coolers recessed into the hull like that. I can see where they are protected against damage when you have a barge on the hip. Very interesting.
My Uncle was Fleet Captian for Moran Tugs back when I guess you were not even in the business then or probably not even born, But I hear he was a legend, My other Uncle was Director of the Seamans Institute in NYC I believe his offices were in the Battery
@@TimBatSea : Made other choices in life. My Grandfather owned two tugs off Oak Street in Brooklyn, I assume in the early 20"s He died .grandma sold the tugs to Moran family and you know the rest of the story,,I enjoy your videos,, thanks
@@TimBatSea Yes Kennebunk is nice I have Family roots here well over 100 years. Been her my whole life. That's why my Wife and I are converting a school bus to a tiny home so we can explore the country full time same day in the future.
info at the Hudson in Poughkeepsie ny they were cleaning the Hudson WEEKS CONST. AND WONDERED WHY THEY WOULD PUT BEAMS IN WATER after this video answered my question to hold barge in place was a big deal cleanup jop all done interesting
I used to live near a group of the Amish, they're free to use Public stuff like busses trains payphones. They'll buy a farm from a non Amish and use the tractors and other powered equipment untill the fuel runs out then they'll hitch a team of horses to it and haul it to the road side and hang a For Sale sign on it.
Yes. That was my first time using powerdirector17 and I had a lot to learn. Lol. Subsequent videos are better. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing. New videos every Tuesday.
good evening , it's very good video , a sorry a question , why this tug is not current position propellers ? the propeller left is positon to rigth and, rigth propeller is position to left? thank's. Capitan look stern to to bow , the blad is not current positon .
Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing. I believe what you are asking is why we have "inward turning propellers"? If this is what you are asking, then yes. You are correct. Most single screw (one propeller) boats have what we call a "righthand turning propeller", and many twin screw (two propellers) boats have the righthand turning propeller on the starboard or right side of the boat and the left-hand turning propeller on the port or left side of the boat. Many tugboats, but not all, have "Inward turning propellers" as you noticed in the video. This is thought to help in a maneuver we call "walking" where we make the boat and the barge move sideways. There is some debate as to the effectiveness of this arrangement, but it is largely seen as the most optimal way to set up a tugboat that has to do a lot of maneuvering. The theory is that that inward turning wheels (or propellers) better utilize the an effect known as "prop walk". This can be observed on a single screw boat with a standard righthand wheel that usually backs to port in reverse.

Thank you for watching. It was my first stab at using powerdirector17 and I didn't have a good handle on the audio. I hope you find subsequent video better.
I don't understand the "get rid of fuel". I know you needed to drydock so coming in light was key, but the fuel dock buys it back after it's been in your tanks?
@@roberthaynie7852 You missed the second part. His overall question is what happens to the fuel. Is it just stored or is it bought back by a fuel station. He understands the lighter weight and fuel tank inspection side.
Only very new and modern cruise ships seem to calm on NYC..All of the new ones have thrusters and do not need assist tugs to help the on or out. We just Fuel them. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing.

man you really need to learn how to mix sound. you have your voice, that it is the principal part competing against the background music that it is so high that its no more background music. Your voice volume is not consistent through the video making me up and lower the volume depending if you are talking or not. Just give a little bit more attention to this details and you will have a much better video. If you need help i can help you with that.
Thank you very much for your input! That was the first time I had used my new editor and obviously hadn't figured out the audio end of it (or really any part of it). I am trying to do better and hope you will stick around and witness a positive change.
@@TimBatSea if you need any help you can send me a dm and i can help you in any part of the job ✌️ its my field of work so i can help you with that. Continue with the good work!
Correction. ABS makes up haul out and we get inspected. But while the boat is out of service and out of the water it is a good time to get as many things done as possible. A new boat with presumably minimal things found wrong, should only have to pay for the haul out and inspection. Great question.

That look like Tarrytown New York I have a A question it you have your own boat how do you go about finding work it I live on the Hudson you pass my home not far from Kingston but up the River
Hey thank you for watching Gary. I wish I had some advise for you, but I just drive the boat. I have no idea about marketing the work.
Goddamn the music but otherwise an Outstanding video.
Thank you for watching. It was my first stab at using powerdirector17 and I didn't have a good handle on the audio. I hope you find subsequent video better.
I don't understand the "get rid of fuel". I know you needed to drydock so coming in light was key, but the fuel dock buys it back after it's been in your tanks?
Geoff Thompson makes the tug lighter in weight for lifting out of water
@@roberthaynie7852 You missed the second part. His overall question is what happens to the fuel. Is it just stored or is it bought back by a fuel station. He understands the lighter weight and fuel tank inspection side.
Thank you for Watching. Yes, they just store it on land while we are out of the water. They pump it back to us when we go back in the water
Nice

Out of curiosity, do you pull cruise ships out of port or is it just cargo rigs?
Only very new and modern cruise ships seem to calm on NYC..All of the new ones have thrusters and do not need assist tugs to help the on or out. We just Fuel them. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing.
Yes please turn the music down. I can't even make out what you're saying. Also, why didn't you show any footage of working the week in NYC harbor ?
Thank you for watching. Have you seen my day in the life series?
I have not. Do they contain footage from NYC. Harbor ?
Yes. I'll try to pass you a link

Thanks a lot I’ll definitely check it out. I ride the new NYC Ferry everyday from Rockaway Beach to Wall st and see a ton of water operations and even before that have always been interested in tugs.
Another really interesting video Tim. Thank you. What is the name of your usual tug?
J
Thank you for watching Bob. We only have one rule on here. To be able to continue posting content of equipment and operations that I don't own (I'm just an employee) we try not to mention tug or company names on here directly. But I'm sure you will figure it out. Welcome to the channel.
Hey Capt do you guys change the zincs also while in dry dock and what make power do you run Detroit diesel or caterpillar engines
Thank you for watching Eddie. Oh yes. The zincs don't last long on our boats. We have switched to aluminum to not get glazed in fresh water. We have caterpillar 3512s. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea ok go it 3512 Cats good power plants thanks Captain
Love your videos , but please turn the ' music? ' down. Or better still, ...off.
Thank you for Watching. Will do.
the music was loud but i wouldn't mind it if was not nearly as loud in the background. but loved the vid
The music needs to stay! Who is it?
That was my first time using powerdirector17 and that some music in it's library.
Okay.......so why was she late? we all want/need to know
LOL. Being a concerned father, I really didn't want to ask. LOL. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
when your in dry dock what is your deck hand doing
Thank you again for watching Johnathan. Most times when we go in the shipyard, they steal the deckhands and sometimes the mate off the tug to use on other boats. But this time they stayed with and we all worked on shipyards jobs. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea thanks again for the info, looking to get into this but I'm a big guy so don't know if its a possibility or not. you can probably tell from my picture hahaha
@@jonathanrighetti5897 Best off luck to you Johnathan. Have you seem my video, "How to work on a Tugboat"? Link below. It is a physical job requiring a health physical. You have to be good on a ladder. CUOTO

Great video but very hard to hear you talk with the music.
Oh yes. That was my first attempt at using powerdirector17. I like to think i have gotten better since then. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing.
🌊🚢👍🏻🇮🇪
Thank you for watching.

Little Rhody ny old home state. What Part are you from?
I have been living in Richmond for the past 27 years, but I'm spending more and more time on the west coast of Puerto Rico.
The ab in this video is the 70 year old you spoke of?
There are a few guys out here that can keep up with the Young bucks all day long.
What is the music playing at the end?
That was my first time messing around with Powerdirector17 and that was some copywrite free music it came with. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't already.
The music makes it hard to hear you narrate.
Oh yes. That is a very old video. I like to think I have improved since then. Lol. Thank you for watching. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Music ruined the commentary.
Thank you for watching Troy. That was back in the beginning. I like to think I have learned a thing or two since then. Please consider Subscribing if you haven't already. I try to post new content every Tuesday.
man you really need to learn how to mix sound. you have your voice, that it is the principal part competing against the background music that it is so high that its no more background music. Your voice volume is not consistent through the video making me up and lower the volume depending if you are talking or not. Just give a little bit more attention to this details and you will have a much better video. If you need help i can help you with that.
Thank you very much for your input! That was the first time I had used my new editor and obviously hadn't figured out the audio end of it (or really any part of it). I am trying to do better and hope you will stick around and witness a positive change.
@@TimBatSea if you need any help you can send me a dm and i can help you in any part of the job ✌️ its my field of work so i can help you with that. Continue with the good work!
Thank you so much!!!! I now know who to ask for help! Thanks again!
What does a 5 year inspection cost?
It depends on how many things you do as part of the refit. But I would guess it would be half to 3/4 of a million.
@@TimBatSea is it a compulsory inspection by the state or just a inspection by your company
We are governed by ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and are required to haul out at different intervals, but usually every 5 years.
@@TimBatSea that must suck real bad gaveing to pull her out every 5 years and haveing to spend that kind of money
Correction. ABS makes up haul out and we get inspected. But while the boat is out of service and out of the water it is a good time to get as many things done as possible. A new boat with presumably minimal things found wrong, should only have to pay for the haul out and inspection. Great question.
The loud music while your talking is super annoying
Thank you for watching. I was still trying to figure out a new editing program. Ill try to do better in the future.
Please, the music was overpowering and contributed nothing. Otherwise very interesting stuff
Thank you for watching Anthony. That video is very old. I have not had music in any of my videos for quite some time.
@@TimBatSea Yea, figured that, I'm catching up on some of the oldies. I live in Staten Island so I'll be on the lookout for you guys :)
That's why these kids are not able to keep their jobs they get good jobs then they start calling in on holidays. The self entitled generation.
LOL. Thank you for watching. I wish I could argue with you, but you know I can't. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I just retired from federal service so I know what you're talking about but I saw his attitude when he relieved you in the last program.
