Enjoy both your channels. I am an 81yo female, former sailboat racer & cruiser who happens to love tugboats! So happy TimBatSea will continue. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. 💖
Thank you very much for watching both channels Jackie B. (Did you know my 22 year old beautiful daughter is a Jackie B too?) CUOTO
In the first couple minutes of the video you had the shot towards the stern when you put her in gear and those CAT engines let out a little bit of smoke, that was a really good shot with the background. I also really enjoy your explanations of pushing the barge through the wheel wash of another tug. Excellent narration and explanations Tim
Thank you Adam! I appreciate that! CUOTO
Always a pleasure coming along on the Elk River! All the very best!!
Thank you for watching.. please remember that we try to not name tugs companies or customers on here as it gets me in trouble with my employer. CUOTO
New York is so beautiful from the water. Thanks Tim. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Jerome. CUOTO
Hi Tim, In the UK we say Touch wood and if none's available we touch our head.
Evergreen Holdings also own Eva Air and are partners in Taiwan High Speed Rail,
I worked on the construction of the THSR rail line. All my flights were with Eva Air, I lived in a gated high rise complex and a number of cabin crew lived there also. Soon we were recognizing one another, now my tickets were economy already upgraded to premium, airmiles would upgrade them higher or being recognized would also get an upgrade. I would drive to the airport and leave my car at an off airport parking lot and get bused in, on my return I'd chat with crew and give them a lift home. Party/dinner invite would then follow and lets say it was a great 4 years.
Fubon bank was also a partner and we got free banking and airport lounge cards with them, so travel was sorted.
Good luck with you move Tim, stay safe.
Wow!! I have said it before, but I want to be you when I grow up! 😂 I always look forward to your comments. CUOTO
Nice explanation of tractor vs conventional tugs. It always surprises me how many comments there are on TH-cam complaining that professionals are using the wrong equipment. They never even think of the cost side of the cost-benefit analysis. The absolute best-case response to "But you should be using a tractor tug!" is "Sure, if somebody replaced our current tug with a tractor tug for free, we'd be all over it, but nobody's gonna do that and have you seen how much a new tug costs?" And you seem to be saying that the answer is actually "Well, even if somebody offered to replace our current tug with a tractor tug for free, we'd probably still say no because the extra maintenance costs would still make that a bad business decision."
💯!!!!! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
‘Knock on wood’ in Canada. New subscriber, learning lots and loving these videos!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. Glad to have you onboard. CUOTO
Good luck to you Tim. Love your videos. Will continue to try and follow where ever you go
Thank you very much Bob! That means the world to me. CUOTO
☑️👍 Finally after days of delay I have an excuse to piss off all morning instead of work! Tks Tim
LOL!!! Thank you very much for waiting! CUOTO
I’ll miss the harbor action, looking forward to Caribbean adventures. Thanks Tim.
Thank you for watching William. I too think you like the Caribbean content. CUOTO
Thank you so much for sharing these incredibly insightful videos. Living in Bayonne my whole life and seeing all the boat traffic and tugs with no knowledge, until I found your channel. Wishing you all the very best….be safe!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that. CUOTO
Another GREAT video. And thanks for the detailed description of the dynamics you were doing. Very interesting to see all the cause and effects.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
It's been a great time travelling with you these many months! Thanks for all your hard work bringing these journeys to us. Looking forward to more as you settle into Caribbean life working and sailing with Paquita. CUOTO
Thank you Dick! I really appreciate you and the others watching. I just set up my Satellite Tracker. You can follow along in real-time as we sail from PR to FLA. (Leaving on Sunday) CUOTO

As always, GREAT VIDEO!! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the ride. CUOTO
Thank you very much Kirk. CUOTO
Fantastic yet again Tim, I watched from start to finish and enjoyed seeing the other passing traffic and the radios chatter. Plus your phone call
In England as other have said it’s touch wood
Thank you very much for watching Mike. CUOTO
I'm very late in getting to this video - just got back from a trip. I wanted to mention - I'm not far from the Washburn & Doughty yard in East Boothbay, where the tractor tugs are made. I attended the launch of the new tractor tug Dennis Moran last week. If you are interested, I can send you some pictures I took of the launching - as I had a great spot, about 20' to the side of the ways. Just let me know, if you want.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing your content from the Caribbean. I've truly enjoyed watching the content up 'till now and I'm sure it's only going to get better!
Thank you for watching and for the offer. I am sure you must have had a great view, but you keep them and show them to me over a beer one day. CUOTO
Excited to see your new videos. Good luck with your new position.
Thank you very much Tim. It has been a very good move for me. CUOTO
Many thanks for taking me "back home" each week. A very nostalgic ride. Looking forward to your deep water towing adventures. Hopefully you might even make it here to Texas City, some day. Stay well. CUOTO
Thank you for watching George. You never know where they might send me next. LOL. CUOTO
I'll be ready for the vids Tim! Had a busy week so I was late on this one but I always get caught up. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Casey. CUOTO
Wonderful video. I love how you explain the "twist". On a side note I've never heard of Port Jefferson until I watched your channel. My wife and I were staying in Stony Brook and I realized how close we were to Port Jeff. Went over for lunch and stroll. What a cool little town. Thank you for showing us a part of the country we never knew about.
That is great and your story makes me very happy. Port Jefferson is a wonderful town isn't it? CUOTO
Speaking of tractor tugs etc, the INDEPENDENCE, which is often docked at Mass Maritime on Cape Cod Canal was built for assisting ships docking at the LNG terminal out in Massachusetts Bay. It has a Voith-Schneider drive. Very maneuverable, but also deep draft with no real keel to protect it.
INDEPENDENCE is often the escort boat for barges and tankers transiting the Canal, as you probably know. One night it got a little far out of the channel near Cleveland Ledge and ran that drive aground. It was out of service for months. I think it was repaired in Fairhaven, but not sure.
Looking forward to seeing your new ports down south. CUOTO!
Thank you for watching Bill. Please keep in mind that we try not to specify name tugs, companies or customers on here as it gets me in trouble with my employer. CUOTO
Hey from Tampa-St Pete. Like Butta! Great work Tim, all the best in your new adventure! Count me in!
Thank you very much. Hey, here is a link to my satellite tracker for SVP. Hoping to get underway on Sunday. CUOTO

Tim, looking forward to your and our new adventures.
Thank you so much. I hope you will like them (I'm sure you will). CUOTO
A nice relaxing ride along with you. Well done and be safe.
Thank you very much Richard. CUOTO
Touch wood usually tapping the piece I carry everywhere between my ears.
ATB Tim CUOTO
Thank you Bill. CUOTO
I will have to say that at the start of my watching, 80% of it was because you were in the ‘City’, over the years, I have learned much and seen so many places I have been. My viewing reasons have included the host. (Haha!) Being in Thailand now, watching brings me ‘Back Home to Brooklyn Heights’. Now we are going to the Caribbean. Hopefully. The ‘Learning process’ will continue. I enjoy sailing… but I like to learn too. Cheers!
Thank you for watching Frank. Oh yes. And now we can do some real offshore towing! CUOTO
Good luck Tim!!! I will miss the NYC skyline and harbor (yes, I'm partial to my hometown)!! Be safe in your new endeavors!!
Edward. I am sure you will like the Caribbean content too. Come by next Tuesday and tell me what you think. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Will do!!
Fair winds and following seas captain. Looking forward to your next adventure on the seas. CUOTO!
Thank you very much for watching Chuck. CUOTO
I always wondered what it was like being a tug captain. After watching the tug boat push barges into the norwalk harbor and squeeze them through one of the oldest railroad bridges its just fascinating how its done. Thank you for sharing and like watching your sailing even from a power boat fisherman.
Thank you for watching Craig. Remember that I too am not a sailor, but am working my way towards that goal. CUOTO
Hello to you..I enjoyed watching this..It amazing to see how you controls large barges..I do understand somethings that was being said .. I did figure out that the tanker got where it was supposed to be .. I enjoyed see the very large ships also..I hope you have good transition from tugs to sailboats..God bless Be safe...I'm headed to your other channel now to check it out..🇺🇸🌹❤️
Thank you for watching Dottie. You can track us when we leave (Sunday). Below is a link to a satellite tracker. It will show you in real time where we are and how fast we are going and the WX where we are. CUOTO

Thanks Tim for letting us ride along. It was my childhood dream to work on a tug as my dad was a manager for Texaco at the time but someone up the line with more political push beat him to getting me on board. I will be 75 this year and I still love the way you allow us to be on board. Looking forward to seeing you and your new adventures. God Speed and tight lines.
Thank you very much Paul. Looking forward to getting your feedback on the Caribbean content. CUOTO
In the channel between Port Newark and Port Elizabeth, there is an outflow, sometimes only noticeable after rain. If you go to the absolute end of that channel, closest to the airport, there was a stream or creek that flowed from the area of the airport toward the east, into that channel. Back in about 1989, we used that end of the channel to hang a line out between ship's, as that berth was rarely used, and, at that time, no one chased us away from the berth. After a good rain, you could see there was an outflow, even when the tide was rising.
WOW. I didn't know that but I sure have felt it. Thank you for watching. COUTO
For some reason I only just got this notification... not your fault.
I am really looking forward to seeing your new work area and new tug. Safe travels, and see you on the screen.
Thank you very much Shaun. Tuesday you will see the first video of us getting on the wire in Guayanilla Puerto Rico. Stay tuned. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea will do skipper!!
Thanks, Skipper. I'm glad I watched the long version and got a good look at the Bayonne Bridge. It's a pity such a beautiful structure isn't in a place where more people could appreciate it's cantilever arch and curved roadway.
Thank you for watching Ralph. Did you know that the deck (roadway) was raised? The port was dredged to let in the ULCV (Ultra Large Container Vessels) but the bridge was to low. So instead of building a new bridge, they raised up the deck. It was so cool to watch as it was done. CUOTO
Tim, I always knew it as Knock on wood, to make it humorous I usually make a fist and knock on my own head LOL !!!. Smooth sailing My Friend.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Congratulations on your move south!
Thank you Adam. CUOTO
Touch wood, scratch a stay, turn three times… say out loud, “May the Lord and saints preserve us!!!”
Wow. I've never heard half of those. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Jokingly my maritme buds and I have started calling Evergreen as "everstuck" after the Everforward made a mess out of the Chesapeake. Fully aware that these events are such a small percentage of their shipping fleet. Kind of like poking fun at Swift trucking for all their accidents.
Right? LOL Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Always good to see Swift trailers on a train, keeps them out of trouble!
That was a beautiful turn off the dock cap 👍
Thank you very much Robin. CUOTO
Goodbye from a Dutchie in NYC, I’ll miss checking the East River for you. In Dutch it’s “afkloppen”, closer to knock on wood!
Don't go away Ron. The channel continues and you may like to see the Caribbean content. Lots of offshore towing! CUOTO
I figured your last trip in NY would be a barrage of Grief from the guys onboard!
A Prank Free last trip is SHOCKING!
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I heard all the Evergreen ships had recently been into dry dock to fit wheels to their keels :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching. It would be bad karma for me to comment. 😂 CUOTO
Great finale Tim! I really enjoyed seeing all the other ship traffic you encountered. Followed along in Google Earth (as usual) and was surprised to see the Henry Repeating Arms factory pop up on the north shore of the Kills, I had no idea they were on the waterfront. (I have one of their guns) Looking forward to your Caribbean tug adventures!
😂😂😂😂 All those years in the kills, and I don't think i ever noticed that. 😂 20 points Paul. CUOTO
Touch wood in NZ Tim, great vlog as usual 👍
Thank you very much for watching. If you are new to the channel, Welcome. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Touch wood over here in Australia 👌.. Love your content.. Makes me want to look into finding a job that gets me on a tug ♥️
Thank you for watching John. Best of luck to you. CUOTO
Hi Tim in Australia and NZ its touch wood but you will hear Knock on wood sometimes
Thank you for weighing in Curly. I appreciate that. CUOTO
I'm a newbie but I enjoyed the videos I have seen lots of luck on your new adventure
Thank you and welcome Ally. I am sure you will like the Caribbean content as well. CUOTO
Love this Capt. I assume you slowed up when the COSCO cs was rounding that point. You were able to thread the needle nicely!
Thank you for watching Steve. I may have. LOL. CUOTO
God speed Tim. I hope your new company lets you make these videos too. If not I will watch your sailing channel. Havagudun Cap.
Thank you for watching. It's the same company, just a different boat in a different place. CUOTO
The Swedish translation of knock on wood would be some were along the line with “grab wood”, but said in a manner that it is more “touch wood”
Very cool! Thank you for watching Petter. CUOTO
Hi Tim I'm here in Australia and say "knock on wood" 🙃
Fascinating. Thank you for watching Lynne. CUOTO
Its "knock on wood" in southshore Nova Scotia 🍻
Thank you for watching and checking in Adam. CUOTO
Good video as always , thank you buddy !!#cuoto ✌️
Thank you very much for watching Tony. CUOTO
Waiting to see you in PR area working.
Thank you for watching Arthur. Tomorrow a PR video is coming out. CUOTO
So this is your last stunt on NYC. It has been educational and enjoyable and I'll follow you on the Caribean and S/V Paquita. Take care and CUOTO.
Thank you Eduardo. I am sure I'll be back in NYC to work over when I run out of Rum Money. LOL. CUOTO

smooth sailing captain
Thank you very much. CUOTO
Z- drives are amazing. After running one you never wanna go back to a conventional.
I bet! Thank you for watching Jacob. CUOTO
the company I trunk oil for here in Alberta Canada is called Elk River
Thankyou for watching Billy. Please help by not directly naming Tugs, companies or customers on here as it gets me in trouble with my employer. CUOTO
Have always knocked but never seems to work so I'll try touching next time and see if that works any better. Never heard touch wood before.
😂 It was relatively new to me as well. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Hello Tim, in holland we als say "Kncok on wood";-)
Thank you Thomas. CUOTO
Can't wait to see #timbatsee "south" videos
Thank you very much. I hope you like them. It takes a little while to get into the new groove but I'm sure you will like them. CUOTO
The ever faith, sister ship is still around in Chesapeake bay, been there for 3 weeks now
Thank you for watching Randy. Yes. I have a friend that was working on trying to get it free. CUOTO
You'll be missed. All the best to you. 🎈🍻
He will be back with videos from a warmer climate!
Thank you very much for watching Nicholas. I am sure you will like the Caribbean content. CUOTO
Thank you Adam!!
I am in Adelaide and we say touch wood then tap our head. cheers, mike. have enjoyed you sit for some time.
Thank you very much Mike! I appreciate that. CUOTO
Sweden here. We say; touch on wood. And sometimes we ad; pepper pepper, touch on wood
Yes that's right touch on wood, my grandmother was Swedish and she said that. Makes me think of her
Thank you Johan. I have not heard the pepper pepper part. I love that. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Thank you Adam. That makes me happy. CUOTO
They need a couple of those cranes on the dock down to help unload the ever forward 😉
Thank you for watching Tom. CUOTO
Hi Captain Tim!
CUOTO
Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channels Mellissa. CUOTO
good luck on your new job
Thank you very much Todd. CUOTO
Really enjoyed the NY "scene"! Flew into/out of Newark almost every month before I retired. Looking forward to the Caribbean Cruises! 🤪 Are you sure you can handle not having freezing rain?! 😄
LOL!!!! I think I can handle it. LOL. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
knock on wood is definitly a thing in germany :) Great video, as always
Thank you very much for watching and checking in Edgar. CUOTO
Frost? Only frost you’ll be worrying about soon is on a beer mug. Fair winds and safe harbors and may the wind ever be at your back. Looking forward to the new look of tropical ports of call.. which will look the same but with palm trees. Admit it, you’ll miss New York. #CUOTO
😂 Thank you very much Jim. It is true, but it was also time for a change. CUOTO
In the Netherlands that would be 'even afkloppen' , literally 'knock it away for a moment' , touch on wood comes closest to that 👍
Festinating! Thank you for watching Roeland. CUOTO
In Norway we say BANK I BORDET ( knock on the table )
Awesome! Thank you for watching and for giving me something to say to Rune, my Norwegian friend. CUOTO
Capt. Please tell me you recorded the job with the 40 knot wind gusts into the 50's, wrong dock, move to right dock and back to the real right dock after leaving the barge at the right wrong dock and having to go back to get it from the 2nd right wrong dock to the original right dock. I think I got that all right as you describe it in the beginning..lol would of made an epic last vid out of NYC. If not your forgiven seeing how you posted up this Great clip. CUOTO
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching James. No. That's the last of what I had laying around for NYC footage. Stand by for Caribbean content. CUOTO
Touch wood in Oz, knock on wood in the Netherlands (has to be the right species of wood to etc).
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching Jaap. CUOTO
I live in the United States here Minnesota I’ve always said and heard knock on wood
Me too! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Was it me or was that a close meeting with the COSCO Fortune container ship? Seemed like he crossed your bow. But then there is the Law of Tonnage as you mentioned a while back. Looking forward to your next gig.
Thank you for watching. No, that was normal and we had worded it out over the radio. He knew my intentions and I knew his. So it was all good. CUOTO
In kiwi land its 'touch wood' .... love the videos,
Ah ha!!!!! So I'm not out of my mind! 😂 😂 😂 Thank you for watching Derek. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea hurry up and get in that yacht and sail down here, the beer is waiting for ya 😆 🤣
Fair winds, and following seas Captain.
Thank you very much! CUOTO
15:20: Built by Washburn & Doughty. Those are about 5k hp and around 80 tons of bollard pull (I think).
That sounds right. I love those boats. Thank you for watching Scott. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Great that you put so much effort into producing content of this caliber. Back in my school days, we marine engineering students would take it upon ourselves to visit calling ships in Portland Harbor. If we were lucky, they might be shifting oil docks and we'd get to ride along while they maneuvered and answered bells. That was our version of TH-cam. Your content is pure gold for fledgling mariners (especially the "rope chokers", lol). Looking forward to future content. CUOTO, Cap'.
Thanks for the Last Vid from NY #CUOTO
Thank you Jason. I'm sure I will be back to work over when I run out of Rum Money. LOL CUOTO
Hey Tim! Long time viewer first time commenter... I work on the rivers and have heard towboaters use the phase "top out" and have always wondered about the origins of the term. I've always heard it used talking about flipping the boat and tow unit around. Is that how you use it, you said it in this video? Any guesses about where it comes from, or might be shortened from? Can we ask the channel's collective mind if you don't know? Finally, thanks for your great channel!
Thank you for watching. I am not familiar with "top Out" but I am not a river guy. My guess is that you are correct. We use "Top around" as in doing a turn or 180. No ideas where it comes from. CUOTO
'Touch wood' in the UK. Cuoto
Thank you Matt. CUOTO
Those container vessel's have cargo inside of them or all just top side?...bye the way looking forward to seeing video from your new job👍🤠🌴🇺🇸
Thank you for watching Earl. Yes. They have cargo inside as well. The ULCVs can hold 12,000 units. CUOTO
Touch wood you missed the ship good luck down south and its touch wood in canada G
Really? How did I not every hear that growing up in Maine? LOL Thank you for watching Garth. CUOTO
Touch wood here in the UK!
Interesting. Thank you for watching Pete. CUOTO
Nock on wood .. in dutch is “ afkloppen” or “afkloppen op hout” yes we nock or tap.
It has to be done on unvarnished wood. Preferably apple, nut or oak wood.
This is developed form the time people believed in all kinds of spiritual things. Christianity was not seen or heard from yet.
The nock on wood was to make sure you didn’t upset the Forrest spirits.
😂😂😂 I love that! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Aussie/Kiwi chiming in. Both touch and knock is known to me
Thank you Denford. CUOTO
In answer to your question it’s ‘Touchwood’ here in the UK
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea You take care mate and good luck with the new position
Have you seen those big offshore tugs they use in Norway
Thank you again for watching. Yes. They really are something! CUOTO
In the UK it is touch wood
Thank you for watching Bill and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
in holland we say ''afkloppen '' so i guess its knock on wood
Very cool! Thank you for watching Rick. CUOTO
Touch Wood, is what we say in Ireland
Awesome
Thank you. CUOTO
Hey Tim, how long did it take you from ab to master of tow?
Thank you for watching. It took me about 10 years. CUOTO

Thank you for watching Mark. I think you may be referring to the Evergreen Ship aground in the Chesapeake. CUOTO
Is the barge hooked to the tug boot and you move it around?
Thank you for watching Nina. Yes. You are correct. CUOTO
Do the individual barges in the same class of barges have their own handling characteristics?

Looked like to me that sailboat you were all standing on your ear healing all the way to Puerto Rico....looks like to me you might need a catamaran or trimaran....i'm amazed you didn't get seasick much. I'm 72 soon i was never able to sleep that much on two passages from Tampa to Panama City Florida...i don't sleep well riding anything so i don't know the answer for me. A nurse told me to take a Benadryl....Wrong because i thought i was gonna die...maybe i didn't take enough? i don't know i will never do that again. We were on our trip to the Philippines.
😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much Randall. I have been blessed with the God given talent of being able to sleep anywhere, anytime. I dream of getting my boat to the Philippines one day. CUOTO
