Love the view of both hands while maneuvering. Thanks Capt

[@tugboatwilly843]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@jamesmaroon6161]

More fun with the man the myth the legend Tugboat Willy. Another great video Capt.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! Thank you Sir! Much appreciated!!

[@Bob060742]

This video brings back memories of my younger days working on a push boat in the area.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thanks for watching Sir🫡

[@jamesburnside3023]

Excellent video

[@tugboatwilly843]

Much appreciated!

[@cpl_0503]

Just curious, what was the actual distance and duration of that? I seems like it was a long run and a long time. That seems like it would cost that tanker company a small fortune in tugs. Great video. Love it

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! That was about a 2 hour transit. Probably six or seven nautical miles with an hour tie up. Thanks for watching!

[@nevcowpoke1482]

Hay Cap’t , how about a galley tour? Sounds like the curry’s spot on!

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! I got a boat tour video up! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@JCxox]

Love tugboat videos. Cameras need to be on the outside. Too blurry for me. ☹️😉

[@tugboatwilly843]

I’ll try and do better! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@tug794]

Thank You Very Much for taking the opportunity to get to be answering.... I admire you for it... There's another question that is really puzzling 🤔 me... It's does a drive tugboat encounter any cavitation a times.... I noticed that the tugboat was shaking erratically..... Thank you...!!!

[@tugboatwilly843]

Yes sometimes it does. Mostly when I have the drives in the opposed position. Thanks so much for watching 🫡

Willy, what do the bells indicate, is it a ship's clock? Heard 2 bells twice during the video. Another good one Cap'n!

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! Yes sir that is the clock. It’s beautiful!! I’ll make sure I get it in the next video. It dings every hour and that was a long job.

[@edmctug8800]

Kudos ,All tug boats rattle,When there hooked up. Albeit nice and quiet Compared to old School EMDS !

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey Now! Yes they do and yes it is! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@MrPeppah743]

Any plans for a video of a walk-through of the tug?

[@tugboatwilly843]

Yes sir! Got a video up 🤙

[@stancherry4716]

Can you do a video of the controls on your boat please and thank you

[@tugboatwilly843]

Got one up! Thanks again!

[@gabrielgani4779]

hey yo, can you put the mic on the exhaust , i like sound the diesel power when it rev😄

[@tugboatwilly843]

Me too!! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@SquishyChristian]

Random Question from me Willy! What makes that tip not pushable at the start? Is it the angle of the hull? Love you content from Essex UK! Hey Now!

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! The tip was too high up and the curve of the ship there wasn’t enough meat to push on. I would’ve slid down the ship. Great question though!

[@markbray838]

What's the tip?

[@MrPeppah743]

Any plans of a walk through of the tug?

[@tugboatwilly843]

I’ve got a walk through up. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@user-sg5pw1uy3m]

Wish the sound was better, but otherwise very cool vids

[@tugboatwilly843]

Much appreciated 🤙

[@markbray838]

Yeah if you could get micked up you'd have the whole package bud. You'd be an awesome guy to work with!

Willy when the pilot says “1/3” what does that mean?

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! 1/3 means 1/3 power either ahead or astern. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@makkaklaris]

do you have to adjust the drives a lot while hanging on the side of the ship ?

[@tugboatwilly843]

Not really while you’re hanging on the ship. Really just the turns. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@michaelwilson851]

I love these videos here fro UK, got a question. when reving engines to max, Does that keep crew awake? and how does the engines cope with them high revs? :)

[@tugboatwilly843]

We are use to it on here and I don’t believe it bothers anyone. The engines like it when we push full! That’s what the chief tells me. Thanks for watching 🤙

Ah so he's been saying "Shine" and not "Sean" lol... makes sense now!

[@tugboatwilly843]

🤣😂🤣 I knew that had to be a little confusing. Thanks for watching 🤙

@@tugboatwilly843 Haha. Have a great memorial day brother

[@stancherry4716]

Do you guys get paid by the job or by the hour?

[@tugboatwilly843]

We get paid by the day. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@evomink]

Did the guy at 20:18 have right of way? It looked like he came out of nowhere and was screaming!

[@tugboatwilly843]

They agreed to pass in that area he just needed to be a little more on his side of the channel. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@a-fl-man640]

so it looks like you've got the tugboat Captain thing down. is being a harbor pilot in your future or are you happy driving tugs?

[@tugboatwilly843]

Hey now! I don’t believe harbor pilot is in my future but I am thinking about pilot school to fly small planes.

[@a-fl-man640]

@@tugboatwilly843 got my private ticket in 76 or so, multi maybe 77. flying was reasonable then. it's outrageous now. C-172 was 20K or so, now it's 450K+. skydiving is a lot of fun also.

[@a-fl-man640]

@@tugboatwilly843 thought i left an airplane comment. flying has gotten so expensive. pilot, multi-engine, but was a skydiver first, now that's a hoot

[@seanmurphy2302]

Damn, Uncle Joe made Jet noises coming across the bow. What would be the proper vernacular for what I just posted?

[@tugboatwilly843]

😂🤣😂 I don’t know Uncle Joe was coming across that bow quite fast like in a hurry? Thanks for watching 🤙

[@thomasnewton9818]
