Erie Canal Rescue - Episode 76 - Lady K Sailing

[@rhirwin10]

That was truly painful to watch. A thumbs up for persistence in helping in the face of adversity (or stupidity)

[@parkerssafes]

Thank you for that video! I learned a lot from that. I’ve often wondered what it’s like to go through locks. I can only imagine how much hassle it is to try to make a video while attempting to rescue a boat, but the way you handle that and the tenacity it took two make it happen was great be able to witness!

[@nasanction]

Red Right Return. Going in a harbor, up a river, or heading inland. always the red marker to the right and stay right of the green.

[@JesiahMac]

Something I learned on my own sailboat this summer (before Dorian took her) was that the anchor is useful in pulling you out. Would have saved you a lot of work dropping the anchor with the dingy and pulling the stuck boat towards the anchor.

[@marilumurphy8903]

Wow, that was exciting.. Your buddy boat isn't so experienced? You are an angel to help them. Paying it forward.. Love the sailing community. ⛵️⛵️Layla will be back out on the water in Florida this November.. Have fun at Annapolis

[@Dave-SailsAway]

Best vid I've seen in a long time. So cool that you came to the rescue. Love it

[@DaddyGoodstick]

How many times you gonna rescue the 3 stooges...hee hee

[@justinjohnson6517]

I am loving your playlist

[@mikeh720]

Looking forward to bumping into you both in Annapolis! Going to be a whole bunch of YT channels there: Ruby Rose, Atticus, Delos, La Vagabond, Doodles, you, and I think Jess and Ryan are still hanging around. Do you get an honorary TowBoatUS badge for the number of times you've rescued Vagari? You're a good dude Tim. Tip of the hat to ya! Great to see you again Candice!

[@mvakleko]

its amazing how the music was tuned perfectly to the occasion ..."here I go again on my own..." 🤦‍♂

[@Afraidinct]

Another Good Vid Tim, I know that every Cruiser who run across this Video will rest easy knowing that you and other like you are out there, Candice is looking Lovely as ever Good to see her.

[@mattdouglas5570]

Looked pretty stressful having to look after others and yourselves

[@LadyKSailing]

maybe but it's the right thing to do :)

[@mattdouglas5570]

@LadyKSailing absolutely I'd do the same but all the same alot to handle I hope he got you a beer or something, great work

[@waltobringer2928]

That was fun!

[@xdawpax]

the mohawks bottom is mostly mud sand and river stone. there's the occasional tire and other trash at the bottom. you can see it in the late fall when they lift the locks.

[@happypuertorican]

Great ep guys! Boy all sorts of lessons wrapped in there. Made my night. Glad it all worked out, be safe kids!

[@scott.wallace8625]

Good ole fashioned guy fun. Getting someone out of the mud

[@alanlovesmusic6442]

Another well put together video, but.....smoking over a gasoline container! YIKES!!!

[@jonunya3128]

that whitbey has great lines

[@jodiandpet]

Taking the mast down... holy cow. I missed a couple episodes. 😁♥

[@lawrencestark1944]

I bet that was a pain getting them unstuck. Your sailboat engines is a damm good one .now it didnt get hot right. I see your other half showed up. Great video. I cant make it to the boat show, sorry.im down in the gulf in cypremort point doing repairs. But when yall come down again ill set a rundavue in Florida to meet and have some drinks .yall be safe

[@arekkaniewski4442]

I like the song playing as they grounded..good timing

[@miragesailing834]

OH I will see you there!

[@usspaul9422]

That was great, just great. I wondered y not tying the dingies to each side to use their motor also, like 3 tugs pulling the grounded vessel?

[@sonnylange3051]

That's twice you had to rescue him. He owes you cases of beer!

[@kwcraft1]

Hope to see you in Annapolis!

[@philiporourke7896]

Your a good dude, those people are not very bright.

[@clarkkent772]

Next time keep the tow line short and pull the boat off by the rising water of your prop wash. His motor off as it pulls the water depth out from under the grounded boat 👍

[@pierremitham2964]

That interesting... When we did the canal in 2017 and 2018 it was starboard side too for every lock!

[@CheersWarren]

Once again rock the boat by moving people one side to the other to free the keel ....something tells me this is their first boat( not you tim) Cheers Warren

[@Scupperjack]

Same thing I recommended. It works.

[@CheersWarren]

Scupperjack Yup ,grew up sailing on the muddy tidal Thames estuary where running aground was part of life.

[@Scupperjack]

@@CheersWarren My start sailing was on Lake Ontario. Posted a short sail video on this profile if you care to check it out. I've had to rock a few boats in my time. Ran aground in mud trying to get to a new slip up an unmarked channel. Helped a young man with a cute lady in a bikini get off the same mud some weeks later. I told her if he ran out of gas next, she should view him suspiciously. Being members of the same club, he took it well and bought me a beer. I remember loading a dingy with gas and water jerry jugs and hoisting up on it to get a heel on going through Steamboat Channel in the Florida Keys. Plus using movable ballast, it was still touch and go getting through. Fortunately it was a short channel. Lady K has been through my home town going south, and will pass through again on the way to Lake Erie. Last set of locks on the way there in Lockport, NY.

[@supertom8552]

Your the man , good work ! 🧠

[@pierremitham2964]

makes me very glad my 41ft sailboat only draws 4ft!

[@Scupperjack]

It would help a lot if the people on board would rock the boat port to starboard, get a good wiggle going to help loosen up the keel.

[@jimmcgill9654]

Hi, big fan, love the work you put into these videos, I learn a lot. I'm planning on given up the power for the sails in the next year. I do have one request....... A shirt, just sometimes. LOL......

[@edwardwerthner7717]

Would you do this again on a return trip or just stay in the Great Lakes . Your friends definitely need common sense like so many other boaters. You at least know what u r doing great job great person .

[@yellowsubmarine98]

perfect job for you - tow-truck driver :)

[@andrew8604]

2 dingys + 2 sailboats engines all at full throttle

[@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324]

You two going back this coming season? Enquiring minds want to know! Lol. Vacari got maximum use out of the buddy boat program!You should have earned some good karma there for sure!

[@WildlyIntrepid]

They are so fortunate to have you guys as a buddie boat. I just dont understand why someone would ignore markers like that. Red return right ;) Btw how are the deadheads on that end of the canal? we have seen a few handfuls just below the surface all pointing downstream which is less nervewracking for us but I'm guessing would really suck for you guys. We are passing through lock 28b and 28a today. we will keep our eyes open for ya on our way down. keep safe and see you soon.

[@garybaker6333]

I hope these guys bought you dinner and drinks after all this.

[@rtonce]

If another boat's crew is not properly thankful and cooperative while you are trying to help them, leave 'em.

[@alicecoppers8980]

Rub a dub dub three men in a tub and none of them knew how to sail. Lucky for you they are caught in a stew and you were the only one that could bail. You should charge for your services

[@Rocket9871]

I’ll be there

[@SnarkySailor]

Mental note: avoid buddy boats when transiting the Erie Canal ... at least not buddy boats with 7' drafts

[@mvakleko]

ohh gawd about that boat and the temp red buoy 🤦‍♂like watching a train wreck in slow motion...that is like the basic red right return rule you'd think all sailors would know 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

[@k_and_m8745]

Nice seeing Candice today. Now how long were you trying to pull those three out? Mark said he would love to see you do the Great Lakes in Canada or the canal system from CK to the Atlantic through the Canada.

[@markleyg]

Why don't you use VHF to communicate? You could of warned him before he grounded and not have to holler.

[@captainfatty6852]

Really .... your so smart you should write a book.

[@Furtog]

Yeah, why didn't you warn them?

[@worldthruthelense]

I guess the other guy had no portable VHF and the mast was down obviously

[@carlsuppo3029]

Really enjoy your videos. I am thinking about the possibility of sailing up the Erie Canal. Is there a chance of meeting you at the boat show? We will be there Saturday for sure, and possibly Friday.

[@markjennings2315]

Do you not have radio contact or even a horn to warn the run-a-ground boys?

[@78greendragon]

White snake 🤟

[@Jenn_Eagleson]

When will you guys be back home in Chatham-Kent?

[@johntrevor8815]

Geat vid. What are yall doing on the 13th or 14th?

[@arekkaniewski4442]

How far did you make it after the rescue?

[@phygital1]

What model boat is your friend driving? Would he be willing to give a tour?

[@mvakleko]

I am sorry but those guys are a bunch of dumb assess trying to get you into trouble by being reckless and not learning anything from their already bad mistakes experience. You handlined this very well and not allow a bunch of reckless dumbasses who are shouting bad direction at you instead of being grateful that you are helping them and letting you lead. Given the circumstances and in the moment adrenaline and frustration I think you did very well and eventually took good control of the situation and finally they started listening to you. They also could have healed the boat to help the keel get lose. Sometimes the people problems, dumb asses and egos can be the biggest problems in sailing where a solution could have been trivial if they just relax and think it through logically. Those guys are so luck to have you there and not give up on them. Many have would just left them there once they/we realize they are getting you into trouble as well and not being conscious of their past and present actions which are not changing at all and keep shouting bad directions.

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

Boy you have more patience then I do. To get in front of the problems I think you almost need to just raft both boats together. Or sail away during the darkness of night. Just saying....

[@emerrilljr]

Why are some locks one side only?

[@Snarkapotamus]

Were I you, I'd have left them stranded. They don't seem to have the skill set required to navigate an inland waterway and rely on you to bale them out when they screw up. Show some tough love and let loose of your buddy boat..

[@jonathanrabbitt]

Does anyone ever use inflatable bags to unground a vessel?

[@gary5831]

Does that boat have an extra deep draft?

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

There going to let you back in the US ??????

[@davewarren5263]

How drunk are they...?

[@roberthauselman3108]

whats that song ,

[@nuorigin]

I would have hung a weight from the bow at the depth of the keel

[@jimsbarg]

when you get to Oneida lake at sylvan beach you have get a hot ham sandwich at eddies restaurant

[@edferculo8887]

No fulmar !

[@charlespayne1061]

Painkillers! Have you been to soggy Dollar bar?

[@edferculo8887]

Fumar

[@MrCybernick]

Note to self : Dont try this canal with a 7 foot draft..........!

[@hughnorman5869]

Kedge off
