When ya get to thinking the world is going to hell .... along comes a young person with a goal, a plan and what appears the discipline to pull it off. Enjoyed this episode, Tim.
Hi Tim. I have a couple comments and please take them in the positive spirit the are intended as they are not ment to be critical in any way. First I have always been a huge supporter of trade schools. Not just maritime, but plumbing, electrical, carpentry, ect. If you have a love, experience or natural knack for something, there just is no reason to waist the time or money for traditional education. On the other hand, I personally have been told I was unqualified for one job and passed up for promotion on another, teaching what I was already doing and was considered an expert at, just because I didn't have a batcholars degree. Just remember, if a few years down the line, you have a change of heart and come to realize the career you were so keen on just isn't what you thought it was, or your personal life has changed, starting a family, want to move or the unique schedule maritime has just puts too much pressure on that, starring another career may be hard to do. I found that going back to school as an adult with a wife, children and a home was just not worth the money and time away from family. Had I gotten that degree earlier when I was young and had no attachments, options and advancement could possibly have changed my life. A degree may not come into play today but could be invaluable years down the road. Just things to consider.
Thank you for watching and for being a part of the discussion. Fortunately there are many paths to every goal and the same is true for those wanting to get into the maritime industry. CUOTO
Paul is following his heart, which are the keys to dedication, determination and desire. Kudo's to him and others! Thanks for giving us the enlightenment as usual Capt. Tim!
Captain Tim this is your friend Jordan Jenkins again! I got myself signed up for my STWC Basic Course at RCM Maritime in Charleston, South Carolina to start my Maritime Career, I'll miss my Railroad Career as I said one time before but since all that went downhill unexpectedly, I'm ready to get this going. Hopefully when I'm done I'm going to try to get on with Moran Towing or McAllister Towing in Jacksonville, Florida. I would have went to MPT in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida but RCM seemed like a better fit for me and it was also a better price for the same thing. I'm looking forward to some hard work as a deckhand and your videos inspire me to keep going! Thanks for all you do and all these awesome videos! God Bless you and your family and be safe! CUOTO!! 🇺🇸⚓️⛴
Great video Tim. I graduated NY Maritime in 85 with Electrical Engineering degree and deck license, 3rd Mate. I ended up in Flight Test of aircraft. The degree and license afford the cadets multiple options. Another guy I know became an Astronaut. Scott Kelly. I get my go to sea" fix" with my Downeast boat. PS: I can see why your video would be a requirement for the cadets to watch.
I’m from SUNY as well. I will be graduating from the two year program in April! Definitely worth doing, good luck Paul keep doing the program and finish your projects for Cadet Shipping while on the boat! Lol
Awesome to see that your company works with Cadets to give them that real world- hands on experience! I got 2 more years left at Cal Maritime and loving every bit of it! I can't wait to do my commercial cruise! Keep up the great videos and keep inspiring others!!! See you on the one!
Good video, Tim and enjoyed Paul’s part in it as well. Seems like a well adjusted individual. Need more like him. Thanks for the good mix of video content and Good Luck with your own boat project!
I’ve always heard there’s at least three ways to get to the wheel house. The first is working from the bottom up and acquire your tickets one at at a time. Or go to school for 3 years and get your tickets that way. The third way is becoming an engineer and work from the engine room to wheel house. The latter is what I’m doing, I’ve heard some the best deep sea captains start in the tugboat industry.
I hope that you man does it the right way and learns by working on deck for a while. To many of the grads that I have come across just don't want to put the time in to learn the job from the bottom up! I wish nothing but success to this Young Man, I'm sure he will gain a lot of knowledge from working not only with you but also the deckhands and tankermen!
Lol. Oh yes. We did have that talk. Lol. He was just with us for a few days, but i think he will go fare in this industry. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Thanks Tim Good to know there are options for people that want to go a different path. While I am not one of them, for me the time spent in learning ( whatever it is ) seems really worthwhile.
Tim, You say you didn't go to school...... Yes you did You went to the same school I did... "The School Of Hard Knocks" LOL! 🤣 Paul, Keep up the good work! And pay attention to Capt. Tim He can show you some thing no school can teach you! I have always said When and if he retires for the boat he would make and AWSOME Teacher! Thanks for sharing Tim! CUOTO!😎👍⚓
I really liked this video, next year I’m off to MMA(ME) to do a very similar program, I’ll come out with a 1600 mates license but it’s a 4 year program (I’ll have to sit for it just like your cadet). I’m kinda torn between going the white boat route (working to an oow 3000 and yacht masters) and the work boat fleet (towing work) , leaning in the white boat direction right now (seems to change every month but hey I’ve got time to decide :)but who knows. I really believe this is the best TH-cam channel out there, thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching Owen. MMA is a great and well respected school. And my best friend teaches up there. The white boat's are beautiful, but I've had a lot of people come over from them. They say the pay and time sucks and the owners can be difficult at times. But you will be able to go in any direction when you get out. Congratulations! CUOTO
@@chrisb4647 Honestly I didnt like the idea of having to be in the regiment. I have nothing against anyone who chooses that path but it wasn't for me. I also had no intrest pursuing a deep sea career and really liked the limited tonnage sector of the industry and MTO geared in the Deep sea direction. have you done the MTO program? If your considering it or a Maritime academy feel free to Dm me (or what ever the youtube equlivant is) if you have any questions. Im only on my third week but have a good understanding of the two programs. Cheers, Owen.
This was excellent content Tim. Nice to see a person like Paul thinking a bit differently and going with the two year plan. Perhaps we will see him down the road.....
Thanks for this Tim, I spent much of my working life training and mentoring (engineers) and I am very impressed with Paul. He is a very inspiring young man and I wish him all the luck.
Great interview. I watch for the whole gamete of what you do, so this is interesting as is underway time. Great to know how young people can get their start. Things seem to have changed over the past 30 years. I hope Paul finds his nitch in the industry and has a ling, successful career. Thanks for the great video! CUOTO
As a child I was always fascinated by tugboats, but I was brought up in an inland city so the only occasions that I got to see one in the flesh was on holidays.
A good variation Capt.Tim. Very interesting to hear about the 2 and 4yr routes at Maritime School. A determined young man who knows where he is heading and how he is hoping to get there. Good luck to him. 👍👍
Always look forward to hearing from you Norm. Yes, it is easy having someone like him on board. Thank you so very much for supporting the channel Norm. CUOTO
Great video. I have no doubt that a serious and committed young man like Paul will be successful. Refreshing to see compared to all the whiny “free stuff” youth of today.
In an unrelated topic, how do you get your day to day movement orders and how you lay out our plan? Maybe you can make a video describing that process(?).
Thank you for watching Ray. I can't make that video because it involves "proprietary systems and information" that I'm not allowed to show. But in general, it's the same for all of us. The dispatchers get orders and pass them down to us and we try to make it happen. CUOTO
Captain, what a nice young man! I echo FL Jack's statement! If he decides to "up" his 1600 ton license, how much more difficult would that be for him? If he has his time in, isn't it more of being in the right place at the right time with a company who needs him to have the unlimited rate? Thanks, great interview! #CUOTO
No Randy. His sea time would have to come from ships, and he would need a few more endorsements (2 more years at school would be the fastest way for him if he wanted to go deep sea). But he seems to want tugs and will have more than he needs for that.
I would argue that cel nav can be learnt indroendently, as you'd never really need to use it in this day and age. And if the doodoo hits the fan rnoigh to the point where you have to pull iut the sextant, then basic knowledge attained in your free time will suffice enough to make a solid landfall from which to navigate visually.
Thank you for watching Robin. I think you misunderstood. We don't want to take celestial navigation. The Coast Guard requires it for upper level licenses. CUOTO
Thanks, Tim. Off topic but need your help. You talked about your solar installation. How could I get a link to information about it? I am interested in looking at solar systems for our farm. Thanks.
Thank you for watching Tom. You can find a few older videos that deal with planning out a dolor install on my channel. Just remember that there is a big divide between solar and off grig solar. CUOTO
Excellent info... especially for those of us with salty kids of our own that are trying to figure out what to do... It is a double edged sword though... after hearing about Danny’s tugboat internship in Hawaii, I think my daughter is set on Cal Maritime!😂 #CUOTO!!
Thank you for watching Richard. The path for ex military is exactly the same as for everyone else, with the exception of not getting shot at as much. Lol. I do think that one's military service does help them land a job, but they have the same path once in. (I have found that many adapt very well to tug life. They understand being in close groups without much personal space, follow orders well and understand the mission). CUOTO
Thank you for watching. Well, unless you go to a maritime school, you are going to need a bunch of sea time first. Like years. And a 1600 ton without a towing endorsement won't get you in the wheelhouse of a Tugboat either. Shirt answer. You want a 1600 ton license, and you don't have anything yet, get out on deck and start working. By the time you have your sea time, you'll have your license up to speed. CUOTO
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Stephen. I would think Pacific Maritime Academy would offer a two year program to a 1600 ton w/Towing endorsement. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Herby. You may not need a license to live on a stationary tug. But you may need your head examined. Lol. Just kidding. But seriously, beware of the potential environmental liabilities you may assume with buying an older tug. CUOTO
TimBatSea, an excellent episode. Here TimB states....Please jump into the conversation, I don't want to put words in your mouth, Young Seaman (Paul) replies... "that's correct"
Tim: Get a copy of 'Marine Navigation' by Richard Hobbs and teach yourself celestial. Learn to do it cookbook style first, before you try to understand what all those numbers really mean. I learned that way, and it payed off when I was mate on a tug going to Southern Africa and our Satnav died. (pre GPS days). Once we were out of Loran C coverage celestial was all we had.
It's nice to know that young folks exist that don't wear skinny pants with rainbow hair breaking windows out of a shop because of a temper tantrum. Paul will do well.
Hold on, Tim: Graduates of maritime academies don't "cone in thru the hawspipe". That's a point of pride. JL P.S: your audio was so bad in this scene that I may have gotten it all wrong. j
Lol. Thank you for watching John. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but I can assure you that graduates from maritime academies are not Hawsepipers. Lol. CUOTO
I'm guessing you might not have been an English major? 😂 Just messing with you. I am a hawsepiper. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
PLEASE tell me you're giving the cadet a proper education, such as sending him to get relative bearing grease for the compass. This was a good and interesting interview, thanks for sharing it!
When ya get to thinking the world is going to hell .... along comes a young person with a goal, a plan and what appears the discipline to pull it off. Enjoyed this episode, Tim.
Thank you very much for supporting the channel Jack! I think Paul will do very well and has a great future ahead of him. CUOTO
WE are not getting any younger. Great to see a young person interested in a REAL profession - CUOTO..
Agreed! Thank you for watching James. CUOTO

Yes, He has a good looking future ahead of him. CUOTO
