I spent 8 months based out of Fort Pierce after the 2004 hurricane season doing salvage work for Progressive. Your videos bring back memories of hard work but easy money. Keep up the good work.

This is fascinating!!! Theres a show about tow truck drivers in Canada rescuing, recovering and towing different vehicles from various situations. The knowledge those men have about mechanics, geometry, physics is impressive. This guy is doing that on water! How does one even begin to train for such a difficult job? Apprenticeship maybe? Interesting video. 👍

Learn as you go, the only way to recreate it is by being there when it happens. First one of these I had to do was a hurricane damaged vessel, with a basketball size hole in the bottom, wedged between 2 docks, and used a single engine towboat.

Capt had the right idea, just skipped physics. He needed to send the boom over as an offset for those barrels. Us racing sailors banging bottom on corners know the crew goes out on an overboard boom when we get a bit too close and find the bottom where did this dude get all those drums? Good tow as always.

No idea, lucky he didn’t lose any, they were tied together with dyneema, but the mainline was that home depot clothes line junk. Think there’s enough counterweight to put the deck in the water? (That’s usually where I find the necessary tilt.)

Cut the guy a break, just treated it as an ungrounding bc we’re slow, 1,500, and even that was a little light..
