I worked around the world in construction, drawings, spec etc. were all written in english most of the engineers spoke english. But the workers didn't, the first thing I learnt was don't shout, hand signs work well. pace measurements out grab a shovel and put some marks down. Shake hands when they understand, shake hands first and greet them in their language. Have fun with them and never shame them. Don't always have to have it your way, sit back and watch the local way, you may learn something. Stay with it Capt and be safe.

Thanks!

I wish that the polite communication at sea extended to our roads. Some ignorant car drivers about but you guys are so considerate.

Thought it was hilarious the first time my destroyer pulled into Yokohama and the shipyard workers deployed Yokohama fenders.

Well done. It was a tricky maneuver with that fair tide. I admire the way you always make the tide your friend, not your foe.

Tim in late 1943 my Grandfather was an assistant navigator on an Independence class aircraft carrier Langley. They were returning from their shake down cruise to the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Because of thick fog they couldn't find the buoy marking the swept channel entrance to the Delaware river for many hours. Anxious to make up time the Capt. steamed at 26 knots. What was supposed to take 4 hrs they did in 2. It also created a 10-12' breaker behind the ship which either capsized or beached every boat moored along the shore. The Admiral was waiting for them when they made port.

Love watching you express your skill and experience on these jobs.

So we're having dinner at our favorite restaurant; I look over and there's Paquita!! Looking sad on the hard... she says "Let's go sailing!!" Nice job bringing that barge in with a fair tide. That always seems to make things more difficult!

Thanks for your. Expertise education, younger generation should learn alot here,keep it up 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️

I was surprised to see the ship roll as much as it did at 24:25 when they set that container on their port side... yeah, may be a better ride on a bigger ship!

Eddystone was the location of the Baldwin Locomotive works where thousands of locomotives were built until about 1956. Also there were hundreds of throusands of rifles and small arms, plus frames and running gear for mobile military equipment during WWII. Balwin had its own docks from which many locomotives and the war materiel were shippped.

What I like about your videos is the way you explain your thought process.

Tim ... using time and patience also acknowledging wind status, adjusting for tide (current) and masterful maneuvering make another interesting / entertaining video. Stay safe Capt'n. CUOTO

Having been in the engine room at every sea and anchor detail I never saw anything in 4 1/2 years on ocean going tugs so watching you and your crew is very enjoyable. Thanks a lot.

"Why not put a stern line over first?" Well, y'see, you don't want to tether the smart end whilst the dumb end is running free, right? It's easier to move the stern (the smart end) because that's where the rudders are.

Thanks I enjoy your videos. You seem like a very nice man.

Thanks Tim. Always enjoyable.

Thank you for these videos! Quite enjoyable!

nice video, but I really would have liked to see the crew change and fix that wrongly routed line, even if your video goes over 30 minutes. I enjoy your videos and time flies watching them and listening to you.

Nice work again Tim!!!

Nimble conning job. Like the way you could apply the brakes just as fast as a car.

Always interesting thank Capt Tim!

Here’s some irony. Was watching another channel I enjoy, Two Feet Outdoors. He kayaks and canoes all around NYC, Long Island etc. well this week he was in the Gowanus Canal and as he is wrapping up is paddle low and behold a tug is there in front of him with a big V on it and the first few letters of it were the Ana…..CUOTO Cap Tim.

I've been watching you park boats for several years now, and normally I can follow your moves based on my own 30 years of parking single engined yachts (similar size to Paquita)... So (and for any viewers reading this who haven't ever parked a boat), I appreciate this one was a real tough one, especially as the fair tide started pushing your stern about. This one really was a pleasure to watch!! Love the channel.

I love watching your channel you're such a cool guy keep up the great work Tim

Wishing you all fair winds and following seas this summer

Nicely done, all the complexities coming together like a symphony.....phew!

I hope you’ll be the one pushing the barges that are going to dredge the Passaic River eventually when it gets done so I’ll be able to see you. I follow you on every platform you have. I guess it’s just KZfaq and the ship finder ais app

Nice work 😄

as alwasys. great park job.....now for lunch!!!!!

Masterful landing, and you make it look easy. LOL Have a great summer, will be back with you in late August. CUOTO

Gordon is nice guy !

Thanks for the videos!

Very interesting video clever stuff

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

Great job Captain 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm glad that you're happy with your deep notch 😂😂 By the way When are we going to see a video with You , Dr Sal ,Dalton and the chief as a narrator? Guaranteed it will be a blockbuster 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cuotos 👍👍👍😎

excellent video thank you Tim

Always great to watch, so much knowledge...

you snuck up on it. 👍

I'm prepping for trip down ICW. Hoping I can be patient when maneuvering the Mai Tai, 1980 Grand Banks 42 with 240hp diesels.

👍✅ Nice video Tim, tks👏

@0:41 - I am 6' 4" and my wife is 4'' 9". We totally understand. ;)

The thirty minutes flew by! Great video and it is really interesting to see how all the various pieces come together at the end. I know editing is a lot of work, but I would watch an hour, or more, just sayin.

Thanks

For 14 years I worked on Crowley ATB s but never witnessed a Ty up in the wheelhouse Thanks for the experience.

@2:51 - I never get "tire-ed" of hearing 'Yokohama' being explained. Some folk probably get 'rubber-ed' the wrong way though.

Tim was that you that sailed by the BB New Jersey on her way back to Camden good job be safe

Very impressive, thanks for explaining. You’re providing an interesting education for those of us that know less than nothing about ships and shipping!

We appreciate you Tim. Thanks for all your work on this great channel. CUOTO

Beautiful day, a bit of tide but no wind, nice to be on the water even if it’s work

Man that was beautiful. Perfect touch.

We could watch you for an hour or so

Thanks Tim, I love watching you manoeuvering and I learn from that and practice it with my 32’ carver

Nicely done Capt, I love hearing you talk us through the manoeuvres with the helm positions and shaft rotations. I was taught how to "walk" a twin screw vessel by a ferry skipper who does it several times a day and it revolutionised my berthing, initially it seemed wrong to have the helm contrary to the direction of travel but I soon got the hang of it.

It is amazing what you can do with those but tankers.... God bless.. Safe travels..❤️🙏🌹

Nice little run Tim... Yep.. communication skills.. Defiantly needed aboard ship... What bunkering they they get??

The new greeting is "Blame you on the one" :-)

well done Tim looks like a nice day too G

As always, stay safe and thanks.

Well done Tim.👍

Very professional Tim 👍🇬🇧

Excellent Tim👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thx for the vid.

Thanks Cap’n👍🏻

Can we get a barge tour?

Gracias cp. Por el vídeo excelente maniobra. Saludos desde Colombia puerto de TURBO

Tim 30 mins is too short lol i Really enjoy watching

Hi Captain Tim! That was a tricky one. CUOTO

That was fun. Thank you as always! Have you done any sailing?

We are really disappointed we didn't get to see the unloading of ⛽ go go juice 😢

Thanks for another fine video Tim. Can you explain why you did a fair tide landing and not turn around and stem the tide to make an easier landing?

👍👍👍

Hello Tim. We're you around when the battleship New Jersey came out of dry dock? I bet you would have loved to been around to help push it around.

CUOTO!

Enjoy journey down stream.

How does this heat effect the fuel you carry...like in expansion.?

Yeah, I have the next 33 minutes available to spend on watching quality KZfaq content.

Tim - is there anyway you could have a small screen in say the lower left or right corner of the main screen to show a stern camera so we can see all the tug horsepower at work?

Interesting that you feel there’s a risk from RADAR radiation at close range. So much to think about. So much to know. Every case a bit different.

So much for crew cohesion on a smaller vessel😅

Looks like you did a great job. IS the Tide Current always the same or does it vary?

That little container ship sure couldn’t be in heavy seas not a whole lot of freeboard.

Boeing also building the VT22 Osprey over there

Sir Captain, on your display ; what is that APP called or can we access that? If not, it's all good but I like seeing the tidal flows & I bet it does weather as well? Anyhoo, you guys be safe & ty for sharing your life. peace

What is the name of your other channel.

Tim, at what speed does the tide flow in your area.Ilive on the river mersey and our tide race is 7/8 knots

How long on average to unload your barge? I realize there's a difference for different ships. Gallons or barrels

What are right twist + left twist?

That stressed me out just watching !

CUOTO

should have gotten closer before twisting your stern in. 100' off is too far with this fair tide.

Just wishful thinking 🤔 Captain Tim, I would have liked to seen a man on the ship waving some kind of flag as to where we hook up. CUOTO

Out of interest, why did you not swing and go head to tide? Something to do with connection possition?

Vid too long. Id be happy with an hour long video.

Thanks!

Thanks!
