Just pull it in tight!🤣

Well shit, I can give one like

I am guessing it decided not to tow straight because you shortened up the line so his bow was more effected by the thrust wash from your motors. The skipper did well getting it back in his pen with his engine problems.

Sometimes I think one day I could afford a 45-55’ sport fisher. Then I remember buying it and maintaining and fuel cost are two different animals 😂

The sea tow captain is my neighbor lol

Adults that can’t figure out how to handle a situation drive me nuts. Don’t ask someone else what to do. Take action and figure it out.

Could've you choked your sling on the piling up higher rather than pull on palm tree?

I’m sorry it’s so sad they have the money for a boat but not the intelligence to drive it

I used to unground sailboats by hauling on their mainsheet at the top of the mast abeam of the boat. Heel the boat over 45 degrees and let the yacht engine power us off the bar.

Were they drunk? I was getting anxiety just watching. Literally, I was breaking a sweat and my heart was racing. Usually this channel is relaxing with the waves and all...

Don't know if it's already been mentioned but I can't believe these guys don't have some kind of fence behind the tow line stanchion. I thought that was actually a requirement.

I’ve been sailing for 40 + years. I’ve seen my share of folks who should have taken up camping instead of boating. You showed great patience and professionalism. Nice work

Let ' em pull off their rail with the bridle - maybe they'll know better next time lol.

2000 years later....best yet...politely shows the frustration is real 🫡

For $215 a year or about $18 a month, you can get the "Unlimited Gold Towing Membership".... That is an amazing savings if you even need to use the service ONE time.

Not my first rodeo general 😮

I started Good Seamaritan Rescue in 1958 with a 13 ft Boston Whaler in Stratford, Connecticut on the Housatonic River where it meets Long Island sound😊😊😊... It has been My experience... Sailboaters think Tipping is a City in China😂😂😂... Your videos bring back a lot of memories😊😊😊...

They have not got a clue, it's like watching the three stooges, how do you manage not to laugh, lol.

Nice work Cap. Did the older guy maybe have a few "pops" before you got to him?

I'm surprised the owner didn't just float it out into the bay without the plug in it and let it become part of the reef.

You better have a lot of money or tow insurance if these guys come out. They made it so as the Coast Guard can't help you anymore unless you have a medical emergency.

🌮

I’m guessing alcohol involved? Nice work Captain!

Would not catch me out there on a pontoon boat or a open bow. 😂🤣😆👍🇺🇸

That's a bch flying one handed but boy, when you need one of these guys, you need em. I had to get help, caught in a storm coming into port on lake Erie, a few miles from the channel, dumping rain, 6 footers - a loose mooring line bounced it's way into the engine bay, sucked into the drive coupler - stalled engine in a ball of melted nylon. dead in the water. Getting shallower by the minute blown to shore - raining so hard, no time to put the top up, radio stopped working after getting some mayday calls out - luckily they found me in time. Storm came up quick out of nowhere man and made a 15 mile run for the marina... it got my ass.... I'll never forget how much I appreciated these guys and what they do in all the sht - at least this was a pretty day. Yeah, that bridge would have your ass cheeks crushing walnuts.

Boating is so awesome that I can sit through 20 minutes of a Tow Boat captain trying to find a deepwater river in a sandbar then idling in a channel waiting for a knot to be tied. Life is good!

A Bayliner is no trophy , just a future filled with a slew of headaches and disappointments.. the boat is the base base model.

Another great video!!!

Your boat control is amazing. Great job. Thanks for the entertainment.

Ain't got time for the helm, gotta call my deckhand on the walkie tallkie phone ...

What you doin in my waters/ your old waters captain!?!?! Just kidding! Nice job getting in that marina. That’s a fun one to get in. Wouldn’t happen with the ole “osprey” but you nailed it- good job brother! Hope all is well with you. We’ll catch up soon. FYI FROM ONE VET-100% and still gettin it TO ANOTHER. STOP PLAYING THE 100% bs CARD. WERE ALL F$@&!d UP. YOUR JUST A REGULAR RUN OF THE MILL, poured out of a mold, water head, idiot. Use your head man. Think about how things work and operate.

That boat had Dumb & Dumber, Dumbest!

Fantastic boat skills a true professional captain ken

Excellent job we need to respect our wounded veterans

I bet you have to deal with a lot of idiots. I’ve always said just because you can afford a boat doesn’t mean you should own one.

Want to thank the veteran for his service 👍🇺🇸

"They shouldn't be out here boating." Nailed it.

Need night vision goggles 😂🤣😆👍🇺🇸

You need to communicate more with the folks you tow. You have wonderful abilities and they just want to help but they don’t know your plan.

I’m amazed at how clueless and lacking in common sense the majority of people you rescue are, I guess that’s why you have a job.

I find that tying a bowline with a bight is easier to loosen

What a fun bunch of guys!! They were so preoccupied while docking that they did not consider your situation.

In Texas, (where there may not be environmental laws like Florida) we back up close to the grounded boat, attach the towing gear, and use the thrust from our propellers to wash the sand from beneath the grounded boat, at the same time clearing a little "channel" to tow the boat off the sandbar.

I’m a vet and watching this just ticks me off. Dude has to announce his status, plays the poor me “if i break a leg” blah blah blah. Makes himself the star of the ball. We have a term in the service for those types, I won’t use here…but he fits it perfectly.

And another flawless recovery. Mad skills Cap'n! Love your channel.

That was slick. Well done!😊

Often it is better to let the professional do his thing and just stand back and let it happen!

A day like that on a beautiful bar, the only thing I would call for is more beer.

It is amazing the people and boats you will see on the water. Quite a few have no business out there. Also a surprising number of people do not know how to swim and still do not where life jackets. Great job.

So he's 100% disabled military veteran when he's slithering to the front at sea but runs up there later in the video???? You do well to keep your cool with these idiots.
