Mississippi River Shipyard Sunset Livestream Playback

[@DonReynolds-p7o]

Captain you see some of the nicest scenery, from sunsets to beautiful sunny river travels. I really enjoy your channel,thank you. Safe travels.

[@Rollo905]

No better office than a wheelhouse! Always a room with a view.

I worked on a supply boat for Seahorse Inc. back in the mid 80's just out of school for a couple of years. My cousin got me on, he was a chief engineer at the time. LOVED IT.....we were leased on to Shell at the time and worked out of Morgan City and Venice, typically going out the mouth of the river or North Pass to a few rigs. I tell people even today that if i had not been color blind I would still likly be doing it to this day. This dry dock video brings back some good memories.... we were in dry dock one time in Algiers when New Orleans had the Worlds Fair. We stood on the back deck and watched the Space Shuttle circle New Orleans before it landed to be bought up the Intercostal. GOOD TIMES

Fascinating to see the bottom if your boat. Thank you. Oh, and a stunning sunset to boot.

[@jameshamre8778]

Awesome perspective from under the boat! Thanks for sharing.

[@rjay49]

Great video again Capt the sure don`t look that big in the water i have always been amazed over the years when i have dry docked all my tugs and never get tired of looking whats under water

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Absolutely beautiful scenery out there! The boats the barges and the sun setting doesn't get any better than that. When you had video panned to the right the scenery would make a great wall picture! Thanks Capt Kyle for sharing such beauty

[@kylesmith8769]

I live down in a valley, ne er get to see sunrises and sunsets. I really enjoy seeing yours. Beautiful colors tonight.

[@sumrica]

Shout out from Biloxi. Thanks for the effort, Capt.

[@BarryDKitt]

From Canada, Thanks For All, Priceless Of All You Have To Share. Cheers.

[@russellstofferahn6285]

Would be awesome to see how the boat gets into or out of the dry dock.

[@marktwained]

Pretty simple. Drive on and pump water out, raising it. Fairly straightforward and quick

[@alpharomeo15]

When I was working for the Louisiana Hwy Dept back in the early '70s there was no bridge at Luling, they only had a ferry with two huge low RPM (600 PRM MAX) White-Worthington Diesels! Got to ride in the wheelhouse every time we crossed because I was an LA Hwy Dept employee. Took almost 20 to 30 minutes to cross the mighty Missisip fully loaded! Great shots Capt! Keep'em Coming!

[@GregoryMueller-ss2qv]

I sometimes wish 40 years ago I would have went to work on one of these, I was raised on the river , but I moved to Table Rock lake instead

[@mrsbigbug]

Thanks for the underside tour. Very interesting.

[@Ms.Bayou4495]

Those wheels and bottom are huge. All these years when seeing them alongside the ships they always seem small from the bank of the river.

[@kens.3729]

1st - Great Livestream, Captain Kyle. 👍🙏

[@chrissimmonds4898]

They do have some with backing rudders. Just one in the middle for backing.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Interesting process. Thank you Captain.

[@tmoney3457]

Awesome content I watch them all

[@jeffhovey1810]

Evening Captain.

[@williamdahlsten2255]

How often are propellers reworked/replaced to keep them in balance?

[@marktwained]

As needed. I’ve known boats go years, and the possibility of damaging one the day after being newly replaced always exists. Where the boat runs, and amounts of drift are factors.

[@thecapturban]

Wound up on that jack em up boat in that yard to have wheels fixed1st week of Aug😂.. we always trippin over each other.. bit never meet.. we gotta fix that

[@merlefunk4032]

Do hitting logs mess things up much?

[@marktwained]

Depends on size of log. Usually chops them up unless it’s huge.

[@craiggrant3511]

Wouldn't want to change those props very often. Massive

[@christinewenner1508]

Kyle consider investing in a gimbal so the shaking and focus is not so distracting. I hate when the beautiful sunsets are just coming into focus as you move on.

[@marktwained]

I’ve invested in two. Spent a bit on the DJI. It’s just extra travel stuff that is low on priority list. They were more trouble than worth. Those metrics changed, so…. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@deborahedwards1427]

What happened to your boat ?

[@thud9797]

What about shore power when you're in dry dock and on the boat? Any way to keep the power on?

[@marktwained]

Yes, fully shore powered while dry docked. 👍🏻

[@wendellsmith1785]

How do you get the tug on the dry dock

[@scottfw7169]

Looks like one of the floating drydocks which can take on water ballast to submerge the dock deck then pump that water back out to raise deck above water.

[@sumrica]

If you were inclined, couldn't you livestream anytime you wanted? Just set the camera up in the wheelhouse on a tripod with it pointed out the front glass?

[@marktwained]

If I wanted to, yes. Cell signal would be limiting factor. Definitely something doable. I’m not interested, at this time. I post everything that I want, and quite often contemplate deleting channel. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@chuckfry1227]

@@marktwained please don’t ever quit Capt. we love your views.

[@GregoryMueller-ss2qv]

Why did they drydock you ??

[@marktwained]

Minor repairs on one of the propellers. We can run with it, just not very efficiently.

[@mikehernandez3829]

Them vent on the side look like intake of some kind

[@kevinstans7638]

Why a retractable wheel house? Don’t have them here

[@marktwained]

Bridges

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

👍👍👍.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪

[@Loreleifury]

You shake too much. Invest in a Tri-pod. You can change the setting to get rid of shakes.

[@marktwained]

Have tripod gimble in hand. As I mentioned in livestream the setting s don’t allow anti shake with livestream. It works differently processing image. I’m fully aware of capabilities of my equipment.

[@juniorthompson9303]

Very cool.
