Loved watching the Stephanie Dann do her thing. She sounds powerful ! Thanks!

[@perrylamb6286]

Very interesting to see the section "tied up" after yesterday's comment. Watching the tug deftly pulling around a barge, VERY cool. Thanks Capt Andy!

[@maxnichols1727]

Capt. Andy, Thanks for your commitment to keep us updated. Awesome job, your videos are great.

[@joecody195]

I appreciate you sticking with this coverage, I'm hooked. Have the moved the last piece that cut...

[@zalmaflash]

I learn something or see something new on most every Minorcan Mullet video. Thanks Capt. Andy.

[@billmoran3812]

Some very welcome good news! Hopefully things will go well from here on. I think everyone will cheer when the Golden Ray is finally off the bottom, and the VB leaves. It’s been a long tough struggle.

[@ededmonds8792]

Thanks Captain Andy.

[@geoffreywilkinson7633]

Once again Andy you're the best. I am just imagining the cost of this cleanup/salvage to be 2.5X the cost of this ship being built after all is said and completed. Never knew that this ship sinking has caused such a shortage of new cars! :>)

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Another great video Captain. Thanks again for posting them. With the way the tug swung around with the barge attached, I wonder if that boat has Azi pods instead of straight shafts? It's an old school designed boat, not one of the high-tech style those kind of tugs tend to have. If that tug captain swung that rig around like that with straight shafts, he or she did, that shows some great seamanship and ship handling skills that person posseses. Have a safe day today when you head out on the sound.

Love watching the Tugs in action

[@joegilkey4664]

Thanks Capt Andy. Really enjoy your videos.

[@ajsteven]

thanks as always for the update, Capt. Andy!

[@davidarnette327]

Great video of the tugs moving the barge.

[@geraldineaherne9763]

Exciting report. Excellent work Andy and everyone involved in this challenging salvage. I'm still hoping for 7 day cut completion...Stay safe . Thank you Andy.

[@artwalters6871]

thanks again glad to see things are progressing keep fingers crossed all keeps going that way.

[@BL-jt3qt]

All are signs of progress and preparations for getting this next section removed. It's looking good. We're anxious for your next report. Thank you.

[@katienkids6464]

Thanks Andy! Been watching just busy with our bad weather up here

[@richardhill9838]

Another good report. Thank you for your reports.

[@dennisarellano8817]

Great coverage. Making super progress.

[@wyomingadventures]

Love all the surprises! Especially when the wildcat block comes out. Tug operators are smooth!

[@along4710]

Another very exciting report! Thanks as always. Love the surprises of the day. If they keep up this pace there may not be anything left by the time I get back down there in January.

[@ensnipe2000]

Great report Andy

[@JoeLinux2000]

Tugs pull cargo barges between the Hawaiian Islands. When they bring a barge into port the large ocean going tug has to hand it off to a smaller tug that will handle the barge within the port. It's amazing to watch as a crew person has to board the barge and cast free the original heavy long tow line and then secure the smaller tug to the side of the barge to move it around within the confines of the harbor. The tow line on the ocean going tug is extremely long, as they want slack in the line at all times. The weight of the line drops it down into the water, even when the barge is under tow. The ocean tug is a great distance in front of the barge. if the tow line ever snaps and breaks the recoil is extremely dangerous.

[@quest2outdoors]

Wow things are looking really good this Cut it’s moving right along I appreciate the time you put in to bring us updates you stay safe hopefully next video that chunk will be sitting on the barge👍👍

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

HOT DOG things are really looking up. Thanks Cap. Andy.

[@vincentwesolowski459]

Greetings Andy, Around 9 months ago you showed the VB 10,000 on site. When the Golden Ray is finally removed would you please show some footage of the VB 10,000 being towed away? I would like to see the towing operations needed to move this monstrosity. Thank You for your videos.

[@MinorcanMullet]

On our list. MM

[@evintexas]

Great positive vibe vid….. Thanks Andy. We are ALL ready for this to be finally done and cleaned away.

[@MinorcanMullet]

I know the boys are enjoying the progress! MM

[@billdavis3007]

Exciting times in the sound!!!

[@donalddodson7365]

Captain Andy, What are the pieces of white stuff at about 9 - 10 minutes? It appears to be floating junk that the tug and barge moved past. Hope the environmental crews swooped and scooped. So, what will you do when this nightmare is over and life on the Sound returns to normal? Thank you for your diligence in reporting.

[@MinorcanMullet]

That is sea foam that collected between the barges. MM

[@wyomingadventures]

I watched on my TV. Not sure but maybe decking buoys?

[@PRR5406]

Do they impose a perimeter to keep spectator boats away from the process? For me, the greatest surprises will come after the wreck is cleared and they go fishing for more fried vehicles. What a show!

[@MinorcanMullet]

Yes. 200 yards out. MM

[@michaelgarrity6090]

One more thing Captain, is this going to be the last cut?

[@wyomingadventures]

Michael one more cut after this one. That's going to be interesting. Wondering if they will do the last cut different. Since there will be just two sections cut in half. At least I think it might be interesting. Who knows the guys on the VB probably have it all figured out already.

[@michaelgivens8513]

Looks like you can see one in the background?

[@michaelgivens8513]

Andy, is there a second verse barge there?

[@DanteLegacyGaming]

How is the weather in September-October?

[@MinorcanMullet]

Highest chance of tropical storms. MM

[@davidzeman9624]

Cut that thing up !!!!

[@cindyhassfeld4373]

2nd!

[@hatchingiscatchingbx22br58]
