    Cool channel. Retired tug engineer here who has spent a lot of time on the back deck making and breaking tow and all of the other stuff that we do. Stay out of the bight.

    I got curious about life on a tugboat because I write music and stories for kids. We have a song about a Tugboat Captain (who makes music, of course), and his adventures at sea. I am trying to develop the character and publish more content about him, and your vids give a great view into life on the boat. Nice work.

  • @charlieo4489

    Nice vid and nice music. But you need to tell us where you are and what’s going on.

    • @JakeFilarski
      @JakeFilarski  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I agree! Check out some of my other tugboat videos that have more of that in there. I just had a bunch of clips from one hitch that I wanted to use so this is what I came up with. I will have another video coming out soon that has more information on this.

      You'll be on a towboat deck hands on towboats generally work alot more on deck than a tugboat deck hands with constant tow work and all. I've decked on both and have been a Captain on both throughout the years. You'll know if you can do it after a few hitches and you'll know if you want to do it for a living after a year or so.

    Is your tug based in Norfolk? I spent alot of time on the waters of Norfolk on R/V's for Old Dominion University, and the local wastewater authority. Great vids. Are you going for your mate's licenses?

    • @JakeFilarski
      @JakeFilarski  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The company is based in Norfolk but I rarely work there. I’m mostly in New York, and down south around Charleston and Florida. I currently hold a mates license but not exactly sure what the future holds for me at the moment.
