Great video! now this is why I like watching TH-cam! There is a great photo of this Inlet Raider landing barge taking a load of Concrete trucks on board at Gulf Coast Materials Ltd. office on Saltspring Island, BC.
@gangesexcavating Hey thanks for that! Yes, Gerald is a gem on there for sure! The crane had a manufactuers defect and toppled on us doing a job! It's being dealt with by the insurance now
I live on my boat at the dock beside the boat ramp in C.R. I've seen him come in at night time in a strong south easter and bring the Raider into the boat launch and make it look easy. Sometimes he wakes me up when he comes in hot and turns around with lots of thrust though, then I ain't so keen. lol
All of those boils represent a huge boulder just under the surface. That barge must have an incredibly shallow draft. If I had been the owner of the boat or the auto, I would have been $@!++ing myself. :-)
can I havethe onstruction plans for your boat? i'll pay a reasonable amount and I wont sell/give them to anyone else...thinking about a forty foot or so landing craft.
MultiTruther I believe this barge is simply a Second World War era landing craft that has been lengthened. You should be able to do a bit of searching about WW2 landing craft and find full technical drawings.

This is Great, I wish you would post more videos
Thanks for the show and the memories of my own fifty + yrs of doing the same and similar all the way up to the Mackenzie.
Nicely done, I've towed barges through here, but never that hole, nice to see it thanks.
need to buy one of these.

We have seen these folks on the coast,they know how to get the job done for sure,We say mount a GOPRO cam on the mast,now that would rock.
Thanks.
Way to work those back eddies Cap'n Bob - you rock, Dude!

Winding out them kitty Cats. Meow!!!!
Superb video , would love to work and live there

Awesome! Two thumbs up!!
Dumb question...why not wait four hours and go with the current? Boat like that must use a lot of diesel!
schedules
Good driving !
