- Probably not the most exciting video if you are not a boat handler be cause it is so slow. But you may be interested in how and what it takes to go in a channel and have to flip a loaded barge around to land heads and heads on ship.
Quit saying it's boring! It's not! Most of the people subbed to your channel are subbed to see the entire process through and through. We like it!
Thank you for watching. You may like the video coming out tomorrow (Tuesday). It's a long one. CUOTO
Absolutely fascinating,,and i grew up around New haven harbor,,always wanted to see what a tug looked like , now, i know, thank you
Pushing toward 60 and retired 32 years with Uncle Sam as a ground pounder and Law Enforcement, I've always loved the sea but was on a different career path. This helps with my desire to be on the water...
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching. I try to post new content every Tuesday. #CUOTO
Don't apologize for the boat handling videos. I'm fascinated with the menuverabilty of such a big tug and barge, my dad worked on tugboats and its something that gets in your blood. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and skills.
Thank you for watching Robert. I really appreciate your support. CUOTO
NOT boring to me. I do not know much about boating but always like your videos..
James..... Dude...... I love that people watch my channel but especially love it when someone that is not a boat guy or who had not grown up on the water, likes what I do. That makes me feel so happy. Thank you! CUOTO
Tim, these are mesmerizing actually. You always do this on nice sunny days, but I just can't imagine doing this when it's blowing 30 with an adverse tide. Yikes!
LOL That's part of how I am allowed to film this stuff. Did you see last weeks video? That's about as bad as I will show. I am sure you understand that I have to only show the good stuff to be allowed to continue shooting my employer's equipment. CUOTO
I liked that overhead opening shot. Another great ship handling video.
Oh Cool. I had to think for a minute, but yeah, I know what you are talking about. I kind of liked it to when I was doing the editing. Maybe I'll slip more like that in on the future videos. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
A fascinating video, Capt. T., thank you! Such a heavy responsibility and all done so smoothly.
Thank you very much for watching Phil. Sometimes I get lucky and it all sort of works out. LOL CUOTO
Not a boat person but this is really a great video - really gives me an appreciation for your knowledge of tug, the barge and all the external forces you deal with. Thank you for your knowledge and seamanship!
Thank you Ed and if you are new to the channel, welcome and please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday.
"You might not be interested" ... are you kidding? Geeze, who wouldn't be interested in a video of seamanship and ship handling? Good video!
Thank you very much for Watching!!! I'll keep filming if you keep watching! CUOTO
You can't pull ex Navy man from the video's. Enjoy them all. Good content and always a pleasure to watch. Thank You Sir!
Thank you Robert for your service and for watching! CUOTO
Thanks again for the ride along Tim. As always looking forward to the next one. Take care.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Another enjoyable & entertaining video. Thank you Capt Tim
Thank you for watching Dennis. CUOTO
Insights into the how and why of commercial maneuvers make us all a little safer. Thank you.

Excellent Tim....one of the best videos you've done! I'm totally envious of your skills....and I've been running boats professionally since circa 1969. I'm amazed how you keep so "cool" while explaining what you're doing. I get nervous backing a head boat into a slip with a crowd watching me at the dock..lol!
Thank you fir watching Dave. I believe it is less stressful not having people watching. Lol. CUOTO
Tim, this is WHY I watch these videos, for the "behind the scenes" stuff! So happy to have found your channel and been a subscriber!
Thank you for watching and thank you for Subscribing! CUOTO
Very enjoyable and interesting. Thanks, Tim.
Thank you for watching Joe. I really appreciate it. CUOTO
Great maneuvering Capt excellent as always I love it keep them coming
Yes sir. Will do. Thank you for watching Eddie. CUOTO
Good morning Tim, Thank you like the video! You’ve got to read the water and tide!! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.
Good morning Wayne. I was wondering where you were and if you'd check in again. Stay safe my friend and guess what! I have been talking with David from "Cruising the Cut". When we get a handle on this COVID thing, we might be able to make a collaboration video together. That means I would be in your back yard and we could finally get that pint at your pub together! Crossing fingers. CUOTO
You take care Tim!! Sorry for the delay, I’ve been busy?? Take
care Brother!!👍😎🇬🇧.
I’ve never done it or anything like it. All I can say is it’s fascinating how you can do that without hitting things. Amazing!
Thank you for watching Steve. If you are new to the channel, please consider Subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Thanks for the dedicated boat handling video, Tim!
Thank you very much! I hope it made sense to you.
Heck of a chess game you play with old mother nature! Awesome videos thanks for posting.
Don't say that! She always wins!!! LOL Thank you for watching George. CUOTO
Well...
You did not do what I thought you were gonna do however, what you did do worked out even better :)
Thank you :)
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Very cool video. I love these split camera barge moves. Thank you so much for the content!!
Thank you Andrew for watching and Subscribing. CUOTO
That was very interesting. I love your action videos. You make it look so easy!!
Thank you very much for watching Wayne. CUOTO
SMOOTH AS SILK Captain! Those minutes flew by! No, these are not at all boring, and the comments would agree! The watch:like ratio is very high at 3:1 at the time of posting this. This indicates an active and heavily invested audience! THANK YOU as always for the ride-along ~__/)__* CUOTO
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I hope you are able to squeeze the last of the summer out before its to late. CUOTO
Your good Capt that’s tremendous weight there you maneuver that barge around really good wow fantastic
Thank you Eddie. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Great video Tim, thanks , a great insight into your working world and the skill involved.
Thank you very much for watching and the kind words Steve. CUOTO
Great to watch Tim
Keep smiling mate
JD
Thank you for watching John. Always a please to see you checking in. CUOTO
Tokyo drift maritime style. I love it.
😂 Thank you very much for watching. 8f you are new to the channel, Welcome. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Great job and comments Captain...as always...
Thank you for watching Art! CUOTO
Tim ya I like these kind of videos not so much on technology I like seeing traffic on the water the boat working and sights of the city you are working
Thank you very much for watching Michael. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I try to post new content every Tuesday.
The opening overhead shot is so great!
It's nice to see the entire place at once. And it looks very cozy too :)
You could use wider shots like this one a little bit more often ;)
Thank you for watching and for your input Dusan. I too like that shot and I will try to put more in like that. CUOTO
Very educational & interesting! Thanks Tim!
Thank you for watching and for being a subscribers Tommy! I really appreciate it! CUOTO
This is your best video yet.
Really? Well thank you very much. LOL I always thing I have produced a dud and then it does well (the opposite is true as well). Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Love the Cape Ann shirt!!! Haven’t seen one in quite a few years!!!! Spent quite a few years doing marine electronics in Fort Lauderdale. Was towed a many times by a Cape Ann boat.
Thank you very much for watching. Good eyes and you really do pay attention! The owner of the company and I grew up together and are very close friends. They do some crazy work requiring a special set of skills. CUOTO
TimBatSea thanks for replying!! Capt Ellis was the king of New River, for sure!!! FYI- grew up on Fishers Island/ Long Island Sound and was in the CG, New London to Staten Island. Worked the whole east Coast and much of the Gulf of Mexico. Love riding along and enjoying the view along with being envious of your job!!!! Please, keep the videos coming!! CUOTO!!!
Amazing skill! I really couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Its great learning so much about the big boats!
Dave
Thank you Dave. I needed that this morning! You are the Man! CUOTO
VERY interesting, Tim. Thank you.
Thank you for watching David. If you are new to the channel, welcome and please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Thanks, Cap. Nice work. Another good video might be some camera work from the deck of the bunker barge, including the hose hook-up. Maybe even a wee job description of the deckhand and tankerman. Cheers.
Thank you for watching Tom. Being that I am just an employee and I don't own the equipment or speak on behalf of the company, there are rules and guide lines that I have to follow. Unfortunately Cargo Ops are something that I can't film because of issues of security, liability and propriety. But I will do my best to try to keep bringing you content that I hope you find interesting. CUOTO
Great video. I have used your patience. I used it when skydiving, SLOWER IS FASTER. Not in free fall, but in the prep and practice for s dive. works every time.
Thank you for watching John. My last jump was on my son's 18th birthday (he's 25 now). I want to go back up and do it again now that I'm 140 lbs liter since my divorce..... (bad joke. sorry. not sorry), Stay safe my brother and CUOTO
Once again, Brilliant! Thank you👍
Thank you for watching and your continued support of the channel Chris. CUOTO
Just found your channel. Great stuff! For some reason I have always been intrigued with tugboats and their operations. Lots going on! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Joseph and welcome to the channel. Please consider subscribing as it helps the channel out and I try to post new content every Tuesday.
Hi Tim very logical and intuative.
thank you for watching Douglas! I hope you are having a good end of summer! CUOTO
Super. Can see the rudder position indicator and chart great...wonderful to see it all, radio good. Like sitting in the bench behind Mark Twain.
Oh Tom, you bring a tear to my eye. One of my all time favorite American authors. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea there are 6 or seven stories about becoming a river boat pilot that are posted on line. Loved them. Interesting take on the importance of the Union for the insurance companies and the special knowledge that was exchanged to keep the traffic safe. Thanks for treating us like your cub...I now fully understand the hydraulic control for rudder position. I never did before.
Watching what you're doing and hearing why makes your videos not only enjoyable, but also informative. That tug is certainly powerful. I noticed the roadway on the Bayonne Bridge is higher than it was, I know it was raised to provide more clearance for ships, but I haven't seen it since it was completed. I like seeing familiar territory :-) Be safe out there!
Thank you for watching Ken. Yes, that was quite a project and an amazing bit of engineering. It took awhile but it was fun to witness the progression to completion. CUOTO
A whole lot of skill bringing that barge around and to the side of that ship without any drama, aka metal damage. Good stuff!
Thank you for watching Mike and thank you for the kind words. CUOTO
Great video! Boat handling videos are among the best. Very interesting and impressive to see. I am full of admiration! I've got a small sail boat and I think that is tricky to handle...
Thank you for watching Henrik. Don't tell anyone, but your small sailboat probably is much harder to maneuver because it is so responsive. Things happen so slowly with a loaded barge, you have much more time to correct mistakes. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already as I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
SWEEEET Video. Nice work Cap.
Thank you for watching Nolan. CUOTO
excellent video and commentary thank you tim
Thank you James. CUOTO
Very good! You slipped right in there!
Thank you for watching. It takes a bit of time, but with a little patience an planning we can get it done. CUOTO
As usual, beautifully done. Not much else to say but stay safe.
Thank you for watching Dean. You stay safe as well! CUOTO
Tim, that was very interesting. Nice job!
Thank you very much for watching Howard. CUOTO
Real finesse. Thanks for the ride.
Thank you for watching Danny. I really am grateful for your kind words. CUOTO
One of these times I would like to see what the tie off looked like from the barge and what the results of the control work were . Thanks for your time , Good show !
Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I try to post new content every Tuesday. I will try to set that up. No promises, but I will try to make it happen. CUOTO
Again, thanks for having us aboard, and to your company. Very interesting, and informative.
Thank you for watching Paul and for recognizing that I am only allowed to make these videos because my employer tolerates it. Thank you again. CUOTO
Great stuff.. it's all about setting yourself up and letting the momentum help and tweaking it as needed and like you said.. just wait a bit and let it do its thing. Some skippers I have seen just work the motors all the time and do not let them get a break, whereas you use them and stop to see where things are headed then use the motors as needed when needed.
Thank you Tim. That's the idea. CUOTO
If really fun to watch your videos 😀 no video is boring
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I enjoy reading comments like yours. CUOTO
I have to say it's like watching a surgeon doing surgery, Awesome Tim can't thank you enough
LOL That made me giggle. (My grandfather was a surgeon and non of us have ever been able to meet of surpass his awesomeness) But seriously, thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. CUOTO
Masterful Tim more please love it. Ingat kuya
Thank you for watching as always Roger! Ill keep making them if you keep watching them! CUOTO
A fine job Master Tim.
Thank you Cap. We all miss you out here. CUOTO
That was a good job, Captain
Thank you Poppy. I really appreciate it. CUOTO
A thing of beauty!
Thank you Phil.
Nice video! On board videos are the best, at least in my opinion. Boring no, easy to watch, yes. Must assume that they are easier to produce also.
Thank you for watching and for your input. I really appreciate it. CUOTO
Another good’un ,Tim. I like how you refer to your vector on the plotter.
What's your Vector Victor? Do we have clearance Clarence? Stop calling me Shirley!
Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for watching Bill and please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
superbly done Cap
Thank you very much! CUOTO
Another great video. i Found it had to see your predicted line. You make it look so easy. Stay safe
Thank you very much for watching Wayne. I am working on a way to give you guys a better look at the plotter and predicter line during a maneuver. CUOTO
Love all your videos sir.
Thank you so much for watching and for your support of the channel!! You have no idea how much it means to me. CUOTO
This maneuvering is so much fun! Especially if I can watch and not be the one doing it!
LOL! Well said Ron!! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Great video! Ship handling was always my “thing”. Love the way you played the momentum, and swing.
Thank you so much for watching Bill. Some times I get lucky. CUOTO
Slick bit of work!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I really do appreciate them. CUOTO
As always I learn so much.
Thank you for watching! We will have you talking Mississippi in no time! CUOTO
Great video!!! I love these!
Thank you very much Zach. I really appreciate it! CUOTO
Great bit of maneuvering, I guess you were staying out of the tide tucked in close to the quay too
Exactly! Thank you for watching. Yes, that was the plan. (Good observation) CUOTO
Awesome maneuvering video, those loaded barges just don’t want to stop. Another load of fuel delivered!
How about a video “Tim goes to the gas station “. A video where you get the tug filled up. Also how long can you go on one fill? Or another example, how far can you push a loaded barge, form NY to ___ on one one tank.
Thank you for watching Thomas. If you are new to the channel, welcome and please consider subscribing as I try to post new content every Tuesday. So fueling Ops are part of the "no filming" thing as they can have a few issues of liability and proprietary operations involved. But I would like to do a virtual fueling video one day talking our way through what I can't show you. As far a how far we can push, that really is a weather thing more than a few thing. But assuming the weather was perfect and we were towing and not pushing, you can do the math. We hold almost 60,000 gallons of fuel. We burn almost 3000 a day while pulling a loaded barge and making 6 to 7 kts. CUOTO
PS Of course there are safe limits like not burning every drop of fuel and the fact that we are ballasted with fuel and not water.
Even a landlubber like me really enjoyed that. I love how calm you are like you’re parking a semi in a spot made for a Honda Civic. Piece of cake. Good stuff!
Thank you Jeff. That mean the world to me. Thank you very much! CUOTO
Definitely not boring Tim, I love these type of video's. Great handling skills, looking forward to the next one.
Thank you for watching and Subscribing Niall. I'll keep putting them out if you keep watching them. CUOTO
Oh, don't you wish they all could go that easy. Patience is definitely a virtue with boat handling. Enjoyed watching your maneuver.
Thank you for watching Richard. I really appreciate it! CUOTO
Great vid loved it
Thank you for watching Scott.
Amazing how you handle the barge. Good job TimB
Thank you for watching William. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Strangely enough, these are some of my favorite videos.
Are you interested in me recording a video for you to post about high forces at low speeds?
Thank you. You do what ever you want, but no need on my end. I am sure it sounds odd, but the older I get, the less I like straying from the story line to the actual numbers. LOL I hope that makes sense. I really do appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to help out. CUOTO
i love boat handling how you do the tug and just being out on the sea
Thank you for watching Mike. If you are new to the channel, welcome and please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. #CUOTO
Thanks Tim. I guess I'm one of viewers that really likes this type of video. Also commenting to help your channels success with likes and comments.
Thank you very much Mel. And you are so correct in that the channel has a much better chance of being seen by a larger audience when people like and comment on the videos! Thank you again. CUOTO
Cavitation really comes up thru the pilot house
Thank you for watching Frank. Yes. It's like a pendulum or leaver. It shakes more and is louder in the upper house than in the galley. CUOTO
Great video! The most important piece of equipment for this maneuver is on your shoulders 😎
HAha I love that Terry! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
What a great video!!!! Keep them coming, the best video ever.
You cannot make to many videos like this one, it was great. Loved it!!!!
Thank you for watching. I am always amazed by what the viewers want. The video I think are great only get an hand full of views, but the ones I think no one will like do very well. That's why you should never take viewing advise from me. lol But seriously, Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channel and helping guide me to making better content. CUOTO
Good job Tim !!! ...smooth
Thank you for watching Carlos. If you are new to the channel, welcome and please consider subscribing as I try to post new content every Tuesday.
TimBatSea - hello Tim, I have been following you stories for a while, as a mariner I do enjoy the tug boat fantastic build , brutal power and intricacy of its design to do the work it does.. also connected with you an the story about your property on the west coast of Puerto Rico, Rincon, Aguada, Aguadilla which surprised me !! .... I cycled around the island and enjoyed every bit of it. Your stories and knowledge are very entertaining, please keep them coming !!! Gracias
@@carlospadial5023 Muy bien Carlos. Cuidate
Really enjoyed that thanks, have spent most of my life on the water but never tire of it and never stop learning.
Thank you very much Steve. My old Portogee Captain that taught me all I know, used to say, "The day you are out here and you don't learn anything is the day you should head for the beach" CUOTO
You should watch some of the maneuvers they make on the Mississippi River those guys are crazy
Oh I have. Those boys earn their money. I was on the Mississippi two months ago and came around the corner and saw where someone had cut the corner wrong and was hard aground. Nope, river work is an entirely different animal and I have mad respect for those guys. CUOTO
Outstanding mate: absolutely outstanding :) Can watch as much of this that you can post.. Thank you for your efforts..
Thank you very much for watching and providing good feed back. I'll keep posting if you keep watching. CUOTO
Nice job cap
Thank you very much for watching Brian! CUOTO
Love it!
Thank you Scott. I hope you are enjoying your Vacation. Remember to force liquids! CUOTO
It's like playing chess with the engines and the rudder, plan and anticipate. Then there is the all so crucial communication.
Thank you for watching. Oh yes. Sometimes I get lucky. Lol CUOTO
Bet it's even more fun when the wind and tide are working against you.
Thank you for watching. Oh yes, I was lucky that day. LOL If you are new to the channel, welcome and please consider subscribing as I try to post new content every Tuesday.
great stuff thanks
Thank you very much Lester! I do appreciate it!! CUOTO
Well Done
Thank you Steven. CUOTO
Mass and Momentum. Rats... Physics again!
LOL!!! Oh Yes!! Physics every damn day! Thank you watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Since I spend an obscene amount inside Cape Cod bay, I normally am not using my electronics.
Sadly, my hydraulics are sick, and so, the baot is coming out of the mooring for the season a month early.
last night, between predict wind and AIS software, spent some time, watching the TUG, in NYC and practicing some Nav, trip planning, time, winds, and tides.
nice to see the Tug "electronically"
I think the physicis in volved are fascinating.
Thank you for watching Mellissa. CUOTO
That was so good! I have read your reply to David and learnt a lot, as always. Thanks.
Thank you Norm!
Was this a fuel barge? I would imagine a few hundred thousand gallons of fuel would be pretty heavy. Great video Tim !
Thank you for watching and for being a subscriber! Yes this is a bunker barge with about 30,000 barrels of petroleum in it. That's well over a million gallons. So there tends to be a lot of energy stored up in every turn. CUOTO
I love your idea for a 360 camera.... just upped my patronage to get you there faster! Looks like Rune got replaced in the subtitle open with a better looking, not so square head. 😂😂
LOLOLHAHAHAHAHA. I wanted to start off thanking you so much for upping your Patron Pledge, but that was the funniest thing I read today! He did a great job and I may put him back in later. But there's a story. (There is always a story) This guy emailed me (I hope he doesn't read these comments) and said that his ex girlfriend spoke Norwegian and that he needed an excuse to go back to see her. So I am many bad things, but not helping a brother out trying to get back in the big bed is not one of them. I am sure you understand. So in hopes that more video or at the very least an account of the torrid affair might be forth coming, I had to replace Rune for her. LOL And a super big thank you for your support and for upping your pledge!!!!!!!!! CUOTO
TimBatSea There’s always a story! 😂😂😂 No problemo... Sea Captain and Matchmaker.... you’re a busy man! CUOTO!
