Boomboat working at Jordan River estuary at evening high tide 9th June 2012. Viewed from the highway bridge footpath, cool little boat (the other must be a tug for the rafts) and a floating winch doing it's thing too, interesting evening for us.

Not exactly sure what he's doing, but he seems to be extremely good at it:-) Very agile running across those logs too.

Thank you for putting this vid up. I was a boom man in Southeast Alaska. . I Really enjoyed watching this!

Totally awesome boom man. The "floating winch" is for securing the swifter wires among other uses.

I wonder if he is also sorting while moving logs into the booms. I see they are debarked so that must have happened before they were dumped. These booms are then floated downriver to the mill? Thanks for posting.

Nice, the guy on the boat is busting his ass while the others are up by the camp fire drinkin beer... I'd be pissed off too!

He is a log cowboy rounding up his herd. Each of the big logs can weigh tons, see they are very valauble.

was hat der nun gearbeitet oder geschafft mit dem Baumboot, keine Ahnung was dieses Spiel bringt. In Deutschland ein absolutes nogo what did he do or what did he do with the Boom Boat? No idea what this game brings. In Germany an absolute nogo

great film, but it seems a lot of messing about for what.

He assembles the individual logs that have been felled by the loggers into a raft, and the raft is then taken downriver to a mill. Just sending individual logs downriver would be time consuming (and time is money) and a hazard to navigation if any got past the mill and out into navigable waters.
