So we're having dinner at our favorite restaurant; I look over and there's Paquita!! Looking sad on the hard... she says "Let's go sailing!!" Nice job bringing that barge in with a fair tide. That always seems to make things more difficult!
I worked around the world in construction, drawings, spec etc. were all written in english most of the engineers spoke english. But the workers didn't, the first thing I learnt was don't shout, hand signs work well. pace measurements out grab a shovel and put some marks down. Shake hands when they understand, shake hands first and greet them in their language. Have fun with them and never shame them. Don't always have to have it your way, sit back and watch the local way, you may learn something. Stay with it Capt and be safe.
Tim ... using time and patience also acknowledging wind status, adjusting for tide (current) and masterful maneuvering make another interesting / entertaining video. Stay safe Capt'n. CUOTO
Tim in late 1943 my Grandfather was an assistant navigator on an Independence class aircraft carrier Langley. They were returning from their shake down cruise to the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Because of thick fog they couldn't find the buoy marking the swept channel entrance to the Delaware river for many hours. Anxious to make up time the Capt. steamed at 26 knots. What was supposed to take 4 hrs they did in 2. It also created a 10-12' breaker behind the ship which either capsized or beached every boat moored along the shore. The Admiral was waiting for them when they made port.
Having been in the engine room at every sea and anchor detail I never saw anything in 4 1/2 years on ocean going tugs so watching you and your crew is very enjoyable. Thanks a lot.
I've been watching you park boats for several years now, and normally I can follow your moves based on my own 30 years of parking single engined yachts (similar size to Paquita)... So (and for any viewers reading this who haven't ever parked a boat), I appreciate this one was a real tough one, especially as the fair tide started pushing your stern about. This one really was a pleasure to watch!! Love the channel.
I was surprised to see the ship roll as much as it did at 24:25 when they set that container on their port side... yeah, may be a better ride on a bigger ship!
Drove a truck 40yrs. Retired 3yrs ago,that's all you can do is to give back to younger generation if they want to learn , after watching your video, should've pursued that line of work. Had a opertunity on tug on the Ohio River now I know what I missed, thank you again 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️....by the way... cuoto..is that boat lingo?
Eddystone was the location of the Baldwin Locomotive works where thousands of locomotives were built until about 1956. Also there were hundreds of throusands of rifles and small arms, plus frames and running gear for mobile military equipment during WWII. Balwin had its own docks from which many locomotives and the war materiel were shippped.
Very impressive, thanks for explaining. You’re providing an interesting education for those of us that know less than nothing about ships and shipping!
nice video, but I really would have liked to see the crew change and fix that wrongly routed line, even if your video goes over 30 minutes. I enjoy your videos and time flies watching them and listening to you.
Nicely done Capt, I love hearing you talk us through the manoeuvres with the helm positions and shaft rotations. I was taught how to "walk" a twin screw vessel by a ferry skipper who does it several times a day and it revolutionised my berthing, initially it seemed wrong to have the helm contrary to the direction of travel but I soon got the hang of it.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. These are double skinned or hulled barges, meaning there is 3 to 5 feet of air space around the cargo tanks that acts as a very good insulator. CUOTO
I hope you’ll be the one pushing the barges that are going to dredge the Passaic River eventually when it gets done so I’ll be able to see you. I follow you on every platform you have. I guess it’s just TH-cam and the ship finder ais app
The thirty minutes flew by! Great video and it is really interesting to see how all the various pieces come together at the end. I know editing is a lot of work, but I would watch an hour, or more, just sayin.
Thank you for watching. Enjoy your trip. Will you be taking the Dismissal swamp? I took SVP down it and really enjoyed it. (See video at SVPaquita if interested). CUOTO
Please excuse this non-mariner's question: When Tim says his speed in knots, is that the effective "ground" speed or is that the relative speed in the water? In aviation, which I'm more familiar with, that would be the difference between ground speed and indicated air speed.
Thank you for watching Jim. Our speed on the Tugboat is measured in SOG (speed over ground). In aviation the aircraft uses a pitot tube to measure air speed. Sailboats and other boats have paddlewheel transducers that give speed through the water. We have only GPS to measure our actual speed. CUOTO
"Why not put a stern line over first?" Well, y'see, you don't want to tether the smart end whilst the dumb end is running free, right? It's easier to move the stern (the smart end) because that's where the rudders are.
Here’s some irony. Was watching another channel I enjoy, Two Feet Outdoors. He kayaks and canoes all around NYC, Long Island etc. well this week he was in the Gowanus Canal and as he is wrapping up is paddle low and behold a tug is there in front of him with a big V on it and the first few letters of it were the Ana…..CUOTO Cap Tim.
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. I have three or four videos on this subject. Here's one to start you off. th-cam.com/video/rnlRdC5Im4A/w-d-xo.html CUOTO
Tim - is there anyway you could have a small screen in say the lower left or right corner of the main screen to show a stern camera so we can see all the tug horsepower at work?
Thank you for watching Bruce. Anything is possible. But there is a price for everything. In this case that would involve me shooting and editing multi camera shots like I did years ago. It took so much time, I almost gave up posting anything. CUOTO
Some questions come to mind. What is the common fuel/bunker barge size(s)? Inland the most common size is 54’ wide x 297’ long 30k barrels and 35’ wide x 200’ long 10k barrel. Another question is I know and understand why you turned your RADAR off and don’t disagree. But if you were to have a CG reportable incident, could that become an issue. I’ve heard of similar situations where RADAR would not be of assist but the CG took issue with it not being on. Again I’m not questioning your choices just curious if CG would take issue. I’m not very familiar how they operate in coastal waters. Inland they have no humor when it comes to reportable incidents.
Thank you again Tim. Our 50s at 366x66x24. As far as shutting down the radar, I do it when we are accentually alongside where the radar would be ineffective anyway. CUOTO
I understand why you shut the RADAR off and agree that it’s of no assistance in that situation. About 6 or 7 years ago I was on an inland boat and we were in a similar situation (tying a barge off to a dock). A CG boat was passing through and they called the pilot over the radio. They asked him what was wrong with his RADAR. He replied nothing. They gave him a pretty good talking to, so to say. The whole incident was unusual. We rarely seen CG in our area unless it was a bouy tender or the local CG that would come COI newly launched tank barges. These CG were different and had the pilot fuming but what could he say or do?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Alex. I does really depend. Not just on quantities but product too. Black oil takes longer when it's temp drops. Some ships take fuel faster than others. CUOTO
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Bill. Luckily for us, we don't see tidal speeds that high in the Delaware. But it can be 3kts at times. Much more in the East River in NYC. CUOTO
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Right twist = rudder hard right, port engine ahead, starboard engine astern. Left twist is the opposite. CUOTO
Sir Captain, on your display ; what is that APP called or can we access that? If not, it's all good but I like seeing the tidal flows & I bet it does weather as well? Anyhoo, you guys be safe & ty for sharing your life. peace

Thank you very much for watching Stephen. I don't believe modern radars pose much risk today, but it makes people on the ship feel better when I shut it off. CUOTO
Great job Captain 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm glad that you're happy with your deep notch 😂😂 By the way When are we going to see a video with You , Dr Sal ,Dalton and the chief as a narrator? Guaranteed it will be a blockbuster 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cuotos 👍👍👍😎
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. That is sometimes possible with bigger ships, but we have to put the barge to the ship the way the tankerman wants it. CUOTO
Thanks for the reply. I skipper a small bunker barge on the Humber in the UK. She pulls fairly hard to starboard astern so backing into tide is challenging!
What I like about your videos is the way you explain your thought process.
Thank you Mike. I appreciate that. CUOTO

Well done. It was a tricky maneuver with that fair tide. I admire the way you always make the tide your friend, not your foe.
That's a battle I'm not going to win. Thank you very much for watching Ralph. CUOTO
I wish that the polite communication at sea extended to our roads. Some ignorant car drivers about but you guys are so considerate.
Thank you very much for watching. It's not like that all the time. But for the most part mariners understand that we are all brothers. CUOTO
