Tim, I watched a live stream of the Key Bridge work in Baltimore today. Thanks to watching your videos, I could understand what the tug captains meant as they spoke to each other. Thanks!

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you very much for watching Richard. CUOTO

[@michaelsullo3698]

Thank you Captain Tim for getting your viewers straight on left and right turns as opposed to port and starboard.

[@RagtimeBillyPeaches]

The thing I like most about your New York videos is that they tend to show more technically complex situations.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. That is something I have been trying to do in Puerto Rico as well. Unfortunately, this was shot a long time ago before I started to get going in that direction. So with newer videos, you should be able to find them more technical. CUOTO

[@jaquigreenlees]

Tim, with the expanse of the British Empire at it's height the language spread around the world. Add the political decision post WWII that US English will be the language for International trade, communications and politics in recognition of the American contribution to the Allied Victory in WWII, that you can go anywhere and be able to communicate in English is intentional. Those people who do not need to communicate internationally most likely still learn English because of the agreement to use it for communications.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you very much for watching all these years. CUOTO

[@user-kb7fh3nq4k]

Former ab/bosun. Love you content on both channels back in my day pilots always gave helm commands as port or starboard and the degrees required I sailed under Singapore flag on routes in Caribbean. Sth & Central America the reason for not using right and left was explained to me by a Chilean pilot. The term all right for a British person means Ok so if given as a helm command it would no be acted upon

[@paratyshow]

👍✅ Makes perfect sense in international settings, just as pilots on international flights normally don't say "to" as in descend to 5000 as it can be confused with the number 2 i.e. 25000

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. Very interesting. CUOTO

[@FloridaJack]

You make it look easy. Damn, it's beautiful there.

Beautiful tug paint scheme. Thanks Tim! CUOTO

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Jerome. CUOTO

[@jimburns3636]

It seemed as you got closer to the dock, the amplitude of the swell increased. Coincidence? Effect of decreasing water under the keel? My imagination?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Jim. I believe it is a camera trick. We have a closer reference point to view movement the closer we get to the dock. CUOTO

[@espee9980]

Always look forwards to watching a professional. BTW the assist tug looks like the old 'Coast Daylight' train, great looking paint job on her.

[@firstlast1047]

Your comment regarding English being the common language internationally, reminds me: When i was working the north Gulf of MX including ports adjacent to the Miss delta, I would frequently have to ask a local crew member to interpret vhf transmissions of Cajun accented english coupled with the southern accent. 😮😅

[@TimBatSea]

😂😂😂😂😂 You are not alone in that. It took me working for this company almost 10 years to start to understand the Mid-Atlantic drawl, and Cajun can be even harder to understand. CUOTO

[@martijnm4905]

After years sailing worldwide , I assure you, the Cajun accent is nothing 😉 I ve come about some memorable ways to mishandle the English language: Try this... Helms order from a Chinese inland pilot "Yellow Yellow Yellow" 😵‍💫😖and that in the middle of the night on a river without any light and no chart we knew off and plenty unlit barges. Eventually we manage to make "Zero Zero Zero" out of it (the Chinese pronounce the "R" as "L"). Or this pilot in a remote small port in Estonia.. as there was no BA chart existing of the place, he brought his own Russian one. It looked like quite a long buoyed channel on paper. With the pilot's only English at each pair of buoys that was "Red to port, green to starboard" (Note: in Europe, it's inbound red on portside, as in opposite to America where it is green inbound on portside). This worked till we got to berth and plenty shallow water around. Then he uttered something without any warning and speed reduction that was to mean that we had arrived at our destination... Two days later, when outbound with the same pilot, we put him on the bridge wing and closed the door while he was like a parrot "Green to port Red to starboard" Not to forget: the Philippine sailors that always pronounce the F (or ph) as a P, there is also the odd one that pronounce the P as a F. It gives this... "chiep, chiep, I want to go ashore for a telepone call, it is very cheaf here"😂😂😂😂.

[@DeanNusbaum]

Hello Captain Tim ! I really like the looks of the assist tug with you again. It has a traditional style to it. Is it a single or twin screw tug? Enjoy the warm wind and sunshine video since it's getting cold and squally up north in Indiana now. Stay safe !!!

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Dean. I believe it is twin screw. CUOTO

[@chrispistel5221]

How much do you feel the assist boat when going straight? Did you have to put much more rudder on to counteract the drag of dragging a friend along?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Chris. Sometimes more than others. We often have the assist put out extra line to lay flatter alongside to reduce it's drag. CUOTO

[@tonyamenta335]

Does the barge have a bow /stern or can it be towed/pushed either direction?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Tony. Yes. The barge has a bow and stern, but we sometimes choose to move it backwards to facilitate docking or better handling in some situations. CUOTO

[@marvinwestern4276]

do you ever makeup heads and tails to the barge starboard to starboard rather than port to port?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Marvin. Sure. I just prefer port to port because the doghouse is on the port side. CUOTO

[@EvertHarley1]

Nice vid Capt Tim but tell me what is that thing in the upper rigt at 7:44...... a uap?? that would be a nice catch 🙃

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. I think you are asking about one of the two pump houses on the barge. If so, be sure to watch my videos, anatomy of an oil barge and machinery spaces of an ocean going oil barge. CUOTO

[@EvertHarley1]

@@TimBatSea No sir it's in the upper right side at first it goes with te turn of the barge but then it goes strait up and going out of view at first i think it whas your drone......

[@ranger2316]

Hey from Tampa-St. Pete. Great video! Does PR use a traffic control system, similar to what they have up in the northeast?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. The port of San Juan has a version called port control. CUOTO

[@ThamesShips]

Another great video. A quick question please. Although you did not require a pilot in this video, when tugs take a pilot aboard, do they fly the H-flag?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. Theoretically yes. But we are rarely that formal and not being a foreign flagged vessel, we usually forgo hanging of the Pilot flag. CUOTO

[@ThamesShips]

@@TimBatSea Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

[@TimBatSea]

[@jackieb4516]

Tim, l need you to explain, 'clutch ahead on one'. To me, 'clutch' means out of gear. Thanks.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Jackie. (Did I ever tell you that my daughter is a Jackie B?) Clutch one is minimal power, where the throttles are up against the cluches. CUOTO

[@jackieb4516]

@TimBatSea Yes, you did mention to me that your daughter is a Jackie B. ☺️. I am an 82 year-old lady that has always loved tugboats (my email even has 'tugboat' in the address. I loved watching the assist tug in the last video. Any chance you could video your tug working? I have learned so much watching your videos. You & Cristalita are a match made in the wheelhouse.

Ain’t that a ground line ?

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Jay. Not sure what you are referring to, but unlike a truck or airplane, I don't believe our barges need grounding wires because they are literally floating on the "ground". But I could be wrong. I just drive the bus. CUOTO
