Final Trip East in the East River and My Big News

[@senecapirate1254]

As a retired fuel barge and tug combo on Ft.Lauderdale FL. Good Luck Tim. May your time on Paquita be the Best Time so far, Cap you've earned it. With hours and days away from family and friends, to keep your neighbors and friends going with fuel that they need. Thanks for your time and service. May all your days be filled with broad reaches and many more miles under your keel. I'll be following you on Paquita. I Love You Sir.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you very very much. This channel will continue every Tuesday. But now with a Caribbean flair and a lot more offshore towing. CUOTO

[@jamesbanks9876]

Thank you, Tim for your channel. I live next to the ocean for 29 years and only one time that I get to go out with my friend Captain Tony for a ride in a boat and it was the best ride I ever had on the water and that’s what you remind me of, thank you very much

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel James. CUOTO

Here is my story since you have just let it be known how interested you are with the demographics of your channel. My very early years (50's) were in South Jersey. I was exposed to shipping in general around Camden and Philadelphia. I've all ways been intrigued with tugs. Big powerful tools float my boat so I've also be fascinated with Trains and heavy equipment. Tugs however never took a back seat. Now at 72 the window of opportunity to join your lifestyle has closed. Thank you for allowing me to vicariously live that life through you. Keep up the good vids, Thank You.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Rick. I love comments like yours. Thank you. CUOTO

As somebody who sailed on those waters for years, but now living on the West Coast, thanks for "taking me home". Enjoy the warmer weather of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, stay away from them pesky hurricanes, and see you on the water, Cap'n Tim!!!

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. CUOTO

Checking in from Liverpool,UK. I'm from a family of seafarers. My dad used to sail regularly from Liverpool and Southampton to New York in the early 1960's with Cunard in such vessels as the old Queen Mary, Caronia,Carinthia and Sylvania. It was a great trip for him as he had cousins in Hoboken,so he could cross the river and visit them on a regular basis !

[@TimBatSea]

Very cool! Thank you for watching. CUOTO

[@jamespatterson1433]

I lived in Wyoming now in Virginia Beach, VA. I found your channel because I was doing research about Tugs. I was commissioned to paint a picture for a Tug Boat captain’s birthday. (Painted a Tug Boat for him). Since I knew nothing about the big tugs so I had to learn a lot before my first stroke of my brush. No pressure, I painted his same kind of boat. I have been fascinated with your channel to learn the day to day.

[@TimBatSea]

That's great James. Welcome to the channel. CUOTO

Regarding your forthcoming trip to Holland--be aware that the Dutch eat enormous meals. I know Holland very well---the first time I passed through I stopped at the boarder between Holland & Germany--there I had a meal--I ordered ham & eggs,, this meal is know as an uitsmijter it consists of four slices of buttered bread on a plate at least (12 inches in diameter) the bread was covered in thick slices of ham with 3 fried eggs on top complete with a side salad--the whole meal was enough to feed three people.

The "Hell Gate" vs "Hell's Gate" thing makes me laugh because I have the same problem.

Thanks Capt.Tim.. I have greatly enjoyed your channel because I grew up in NYC and didn't know anything about the harbor. As I've told you before, my Grandfather was a tugboat Capt. ,( Ocean going), in England. He and his family came over after WW1 ,but he got killed by a hit and run when my father was 16, so I never met him. I'd like to think he was like you,a real professional. You have taught me as well as he would have. I've always had a fascination of the sea, must be in my blood. All of this doesn't mean your as old as my grandfather . Couldn't happen, I'm 78 😄I'll miss NYC but I'll be with you, thanks again.

[@ThinkinThoed]

Long time listener, first time caller! (haha hope that doesn't show my age too much ;)) Best of luck to you on your endeavors! Not even sure how I started watching your channel, I work in IT providing technical support and generally watch technical/nerdy stuff on KZbin and somehow through KZbin's weird algorithm and my assorted clicking, got sent to your channel and got hooked! I think it must have started with the narrowboat channel "Cruising the Cut", watched a few of his videos last year and here I am.. having binge watched all of yours (and his) videos a few times over the past year or so. The wonders of KZbin! (I've never even been on a ship on the ocean, despite living 3 hours away from Seattle and having been to Alaska a couple dozen times) On a side note and what actually brought me here, I was winding down for the evening and looking through PeriScope Films channel and came across this video and instantly thought of you, thought you might be interested and/or get a chuckle out of it, just made me think of all those old salty sailors you always joke about :) It's a short (13 minute) film recorded in 1967 about a tugboat captain for the company Moran Towing in New York, it features the captain of the Teresa Moran tug (later renamed Cape Henry). The video just posted about 2 months ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3rEaYdqgbSqrMU&ab_channel=PeriscopeFilm

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Josiah. Your story is one of the ones I like the best. I too am a big fan of Cruising the cut. And although he sold his boat, he will still make amazing narrow boat content. I too have changed things around and am sure you will like the future Caribbean content. Periscope films comes up on my feed often because of my love of all things in aviation. I believe I have seen this video, but follow the link after writing this just in case. Be safe, and thank you again for watching! CUOTO

Hi Tim, I am one of the 40% outside of the US... I'm a viewer in New Zealand! I cannot actually remember how I came upon your channel as I am not related to the maritime industry at all... I love all things machinery and it might have been when I was watching lots of large engine starts and perhaps you did a tour of your engine room! Anyways, a lot of the channels I watch are because the presenter is a genuinely nice person with interesting and informative things to say and with content that is interesting. I stopped watching regular television a few years ago and now almost exclusively watch KZbin for entertainment and to broaden my own horizons. Just wanted to say thanks for the great content to date in this area and I honestly look forward to whatever content you bring in the future! I am also subbed to your Paquita channel too!

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Stephen. Ok. Have you seen my other channel, SV Paquita? You might like that one. I have found that sailboats don't drag anchor 8n a hurricane when they are on the hard. 😂 CUOTO

[@stephenhunter70]

@@TimBatSea That's right, but I've observed they don't always get that opportunity

All the best in your new venture I loved watching your videos I'm just watching you going up the east River, anyway stay save and look forward to any videos in the future (Keith from York England)

Thank you very much Keith. Yes, the channel continues every Tuesday. Now with a Caribbean flair and a lot more offshore towing. CUOTO

Thanks for all the videos Tim! I never considered a job in the maritime industry until I saw your videos. Then my wife and I moved to Charleston, SC for her job. Now I’m working in marine construction and spending about half my days as a deckhand on a little 1200 hp tug doing ramp barge and small contract work. I love it!

That's great Brian! I am sure you will like the Caribbean content too. Stay tuned! CUOTO

Tim, you have given this old wanna be/could have been mariner some satisfaction from a life not chosen (but the life I have been given instead has been great.) Seeing New York from your perspective has been very interesting and enjoyable. I really enjoy watching masters at their craft work, no matter what tools they have been given. As a sail boater on the Great Lakes I wish your adventures and gained experience as a sailor to be a great satisfaction to you and I will be watching SV Paquita.

Fair winds and following seas! Enjoy the warmer latitudes, I’m going to miss seeing my ole stomping grounds via your channel. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting a channel such yours requires. Suitcase winch, fiddley, catenary, turnbuckles, fiddles and surge gear? Such wacky names for tug boat parts.

Hi Tim AS an ex New Yorker who now lives in southern Cal and who lived in PR for 9 years, you'll love the weather but watch out for the natives. LOL... Your trips around NY harbor brought back a lot of memories. They will be missed for sure. Good Luck to you and all the best.
