I just found your channel a few days ago and I'll tell you what I truly enjoy watching you at work, and I can say without a doubt thank you for allowing us into your world. I've always been amazed by watching tugboats at work and wondering what really goes on in that world and I'm glad that you are allowing us a peek, again thank you for posting these. They're really great videos stay safe.

I enjoy your videos. I’ve been a dock builder for over 45 years and just purchased a new push boat with joystick steering. You’ve probably been using joystick for sometime now but I’m trying to get used to it. The other boat has a wheel. Maybe you can do a video on how you steer with joystick.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Ron. I thought you were going to say that after building docks that I've knocked down for 45 years, thank you. 😂 😂 😂 I have never run a tugboat without a joystick or FFU lever. (Joystick is NFU and I prefer it to FFU). Stick with it. It will come to you. Oh. You do have RAI (Rudder Angle Indicator) don't you? That would suck without one. But I predict that soon, like me, you will wish all boats had joysticks. CUOTO

[@bloodyslatts1452]

Love your videos Tim. I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from professionals handeling boats in close quarters. I've ocasionally watched and listen in to a pair of tugs guiding bulk carriers into the turning basin in our local harbour. They'll turn the ships through 270 degrees and slide it accross to its berth in the minimum of time with a minimum number of 2 or 3 word directions from the pilot on the ship and read back from the tugs. No stress, no urjency, just calm and precise. Poetry in motion. Anyway, thanks.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. Yes, that is how we like it. CUOTO

[@ryano.5149]

You make it look so easy, Captain Tim! I will say though, I think some of the advice on boat handling might be rubbing off! I was able to bring my folks' pontoon boat alongside the dock this summer without once having to back up and take a second try at it, which is a new record for me! lol All that stuff about paying attention to stuff like flags, how other boats are lying in the wind/current, and using your boat's characteristics to your advantage really does make a difference! Of course an 18' pontoon boat is not REMOTELY the same as wrangling a several-thousand-ton tug and barge, but hey, I was able to impress my mom with my boat handling skills, and that's more than good enough for me!

[@TimBatSea]

That's fantastic! And most all the principles apply regardless of size. Great job! Thank you for watching. CUOTO

[@donstoddard3525]

Ok Tim how much I gotta stick in your Patreon to live stream 24/7 I'm a TimB addict lol

[@TimBatSea]

😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you very much Don! You crack me up. Be safe now. CUOTO

[@weaselsworld]

The engineer in me wants to design an electric thruster system for those barges, and a standardized harness to connect to the tugs, so the captains could actually get the barge to participate in maneuvers instead of these counter-intuitive rudder and engine settings you have to use now. Of course I'm sure somebody has already proposed something like that and had it shot down as costing more couch money than the oil company is willing to invest...

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. There are other fleets in other ports that have thrusters (although not electrical). We would love to have them. But as you point out, it all comes down to cost. Other ports that don't have the amount of tugs available to assist, find the added expense of a thruster to be worthwhile. CUOTO

I'm glad to see you back in NY as well.

You make the fine tuning of your movements and positioning of such a large vessel look so easy. I know that it is an aquired skill and not at all easy to do. Also I noticed behind you in the upper house an "Emergency Exit". I was wondering if you could include some info on that in a future video. CUOTO.

Thank you for watching! That's what we call the "tube". There is a ladder in there and we can climb up or down as needed. CUOTO

Tim honestly I always wanted to be a merchant Mariner on a tug but never knew how now at 75 it’s to late so it has become a hobby I had a oupv 6 passiniger for 15 years and operate my own boat learning from you about boat handling really helped me operate ing it

[@TechGorilla1987]

@0:17 - That flashlight looks like one of the Streamlight explosion-proof, intrinsically safe flashlights. I used to carry these with me when I entered mines and when I worked on fuel islands. Anything below 18" on a fueling rack or forecourt requires intrinsic safety. The whole (explosion-proof) business is something else. I'm guessing that flashlight also floats by nature of it being explosion-proof.

[@Sheanekeith]

Hey Captain Tim I just found your channel I love your videos. Though I’m one video you said that in the steering you said it’s actually not port or starboard only in holly wood. I have to correct you on that. On the big ships and on the navy ships being a former naval sailor for Canadian Navy. Also being a deckhand on one summer on the BC ferries before I joined the Reg force. We always said back to the captain in the navy and on the ferries we had to repeat back there commands. Port 5 to port 30 and to starboard 5 starboard 30. Mid ships. Or hard port or hard starboard. So no it’s not in holly wood. Hate to correct you on that. 20 years in the navy. However now I’m on welland canal I see the 2 wheel house tugs all the time. Very interesting. I always thought there were 2 of you in the wheel house you barking the commands and a helmsman so you can concentrate on the crew and on the load not doing all of it. That’s awesome how you operate it.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. So yes. You are correct. I really should have said "on US Navy ships, and all US merchant fleets and US pilots, it's right and left" CUOTO

@@TimBatSea no problem brother. Just thought I would correct you on that . However you are a great mariner and a great captain. Real solid one some one that wants to help the crew get ahead.

Tim you say each line has a certificate of origin in that in case something happens or is that company rules

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Ed. Both. It is company policy to only use tested and certified lines and I am sure the Insurance company probably mandates the same. CUOTO

Egads, can't understand why anyone would want to go back to NYC, I'm guessing the company needed you there and so, there you are. Certainly not my job to question why.

Thank you for watching Bill. You figured it out. They needed help, so I went. But I am back in paradise now. CUOTO

A pleasure Cap't Tim. From your response, I'm guessing Puerto Rico somewhere.....I loved the sea, four years during the Korean Conflict on a Navy DD. If I was a younger dude bet I'd love working on your tug,;on You Tube you have good personality. Wishing you the best.
