Sometimes when you're having fun on the sandbar, you forget to watch the tide and end up getting left high and dry. The current is ripping out through Big Pass today and it's only a matter of time before I won't be able to free the boat.
AI-Generated Description:
In this thrilling video, join me, the towboat operator, as I race against the relentless tide to save a stranded 26ft Deep Impact boat from the clutches of a sandbar. Sometimes, in the midst of a good time on the sandbar, it's easy to lose track of the tide, and that's exactly what happened in this case. With the current rushing through Big Pass today, the clock is ticking, and I know it's only a matter of time before I won't be able to free the boat. Witness the adrenaline-pumping action, as we navigate through challenging waters and do everything in our power to rescue this boat before it's too late. Don't miss out on this high-stakes race against Mother Nature herself!

Just an old woman in my 70's here and I've taught a lot of people that very knot. Make a loop in the long side, bring the short end out of the loop hole: The squirrel comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and back in the hole. That's it. It is easy to untie as the loop isn't too tight on the short end. I use it for so many things. Tying a load on my truck starts with this knot. Then I can tie into it if need be.

@CaptKenO 6 ай бұрын

Haha! Yeah. It's a very easy knot to tie once you learn it...and if you do it enough like I do, you can do it just by feel. The 2nd most common knot I use with a cleat hitch being the most common

@elwhagen 10 күн бұрын

@@shelfingtonthe3rd659 To be able to quickly tie a knot that can pull tons and also is quickly untied is an important skill for safety reasons. This kind of a tow could be made without the boats getting closer than 50 feet if the beached captain knew his basics. This time it was on a sand bar, the next time he's had an engine failure and is up on a rock and things need to be quickly resolved in a safe manor. BTW, where I live, it's actually mandatory to know what a lug nut is, since you have a responsibility to check them a while after changing tires, also for safety reasons. As proven by thousands of videos, Florida is unfortunately plagued by too many rich people that have absolutely no clue what they are doing, while running some seriously big boats - and they are surely not humble at all, while they should be!

@@CaptKenO There is a spot here in British Columbia very few people ever visit because you have to wait for the tide to get back out. 12 hours in a 1/2 mile wide 4 mile long lagoon ( Nepah Lagoon ) with 1 narrow, shallow pass for entry / exit and it is to deep to drop anchor. Around 400 feet deep with a bottom that is nearly impossible to get a good hold on. Even a shallow draft centre console has to wait until high water slack to make it through the pass, the tidal flow is a killer in full flow. Tony Fleming took his Fleming 65 in once and posted vid on here titled Venture visits Nepah Lagoon. The tender ( they used a 18 foot rib ) was able to go through and check depth at low water slack so they could verify it was safe to transit for the 5'4" draft Venture. He included a bit of it in full flow, white water tidal flow.

Yes, I also know you can't do your work in 3' of water under Tow Boat. Thanks for explaining your technical applications.

@CaptKenO 3 ай бұрын

Hey Barry! You already kinda nailed the reason...depth. I don't want to be in shallow water and running the engines that hard as they'll suck up a lot of sand and kill the water pump and possibly clog water channels, so I let out what seems a lot of line so I can get to deeper water

@danh4766 12 күн бұрын

The longer rope lets you the tow boat get into deeper water so you dont foul the engines. As you rev the engines the transom will drop into the water a little. Also you can zig zag the stuck boat if needed. And you dont want to be too close to the towed boat in case something bad happens. When you do unstick the boat it will lurge towards you. Better to keep some distance.

@Steve-jq4st 12 күн бұрын

There’s also more stretch in a longer rope which lessens the chance of breaking. Finally I’ve seen boats being towed on a short line crash into the tow boat when released (saw this two weeks ago with a yacht).

@eddunn8794 5 ай бұрын

Question. The majority of boats you pull off sand bars did the people miss the channel or did they partly beach them to walk on the sand bar and as the tide went out they became beached? Up here in Cape Cod we run our boats up to the sand bars, but we also know don't go to far onto them with the boat unless you want to become beached. We also know from experience what the difference in the color of the water means and channel markers.....ahhh its shallow over there, boater beware. But if you say they ran up on a sandbar during mid to high tide its like....wth?

@CaptKenO 5 ай бұрын

The answer to your questions is..... Yes 😂 The ones where the sand is above the water is usually purposely beached and the tide just went out and the ones where there's still some water under the boat is usually unintentional beaching. We don't get the tidal changes like you do in the northeast with our usual tides being around 2ft high high to low low and the intermediate around 1ft

@CaptKenO 5 ай бұрын

Oh and yes, we get plenty of boaters who beach at high tide at the sandbar and leave the boat to go party as the tide drops 2ft by time they get back

The whaler I assume is propped WOT as well since that was a converted pleasure boat and I don't think it got re-propped. There's benefits to both. The worldcat pulls hard but is so god damn slow...and the prokat pulls pretty hard, but could do better...but is faster and more efficient

Or just wait till high tide

Bigger engines would be easier, no?

On this boat? no. If I could pull harder with this boat, the stern would get pulled underwater...and that would not be beneficial 😬😂

Why didn’t you just pull him out backwards? Deep water was right at his motors…

@CaptKenO 6 ай бұрын

I don't trust the cleats on most boats, and the design of the hull would dig into the sand if I pulled backwards

Are there not markers for shoals? What about attention to tide tables..uh maybe some people should not own boats, just sayin

@CaptKenO 15 күн бұрын

There's a marker at the east end of the sandbar, but it's not anywhere near where this guy ran aground. If we had shoal markers for every sandbar in the area there wouldn't be any trees left to make more pole out of 🤣

@@CaptKenO Never sailed in those waters so am not familiar with those conditions, am used to Alaskan waters TOTALLY different scenarios and not that many recreational boaters, compared to what you deal with..THANKS! LOVE your videos, you are quite a competent boat handler, very imperssive!

boat stuck on 36' wow dude walkin on 36' huh, clearly pull boat has never had a rope snap while pulling, no bulk head between opp platform and tow stanchion

@CaptKenO 7 сағат бұрын

I've had lines snap before and it's not a big deal. The ones we use are specifically designed to reduce the snapback and fall in the water without causing problems. Clearly you should ask questions before making assumptions

Try using a figure 8 knot next time. They release after having stress on them.

@CaptKenO 16 күн бұрын

A figure 8 knot is used as a stopper...not to tie to something. A bowline is much better to use and is the knot I would tie, but I wasn't tolhe one tieing the knot, so both are irrelevant

I don’t get it, getting off the boat with motor running, taking life preserver off, but just doing the whole procedure single handed seems risky. Screw those guys wait for high tide.

@CaptKenO 7 күн бұрын

Why wait 6hrs for high tide or whatever it was going to be when you could call towboat and get pulled off now?

Boaters that dont know how to tie a Bowline knot?! WTF OVER????

@user-pi5tt1ur5l 6 ай бұрын

cannot tie a bowline not good for a boat owner I bet he couldn't do a half hitch either

@CaptKenO 6 ай бұрын

I would bet that most boat owners can't tie a bowline. For a lot of them, it's not a knot they use frequently or ever. As far as a half hitch goes, probably even less people use that in boating
