I have always loved Tugboats ever since I was a little kid. Definitely the hardest working boat in the harbor. Sturdy and strong.

You are not fooling me you just didn’t want to walk up all theses steps to the bridge. I really enjoyed that tour.

Looks like a little city at sea ! Just about everything you could possibly need while you were gone for any length of time. Thanks for sharing your ship with us Tim !

Love the "technicals" and by no means "boring".

"I'm not shrinking...I'm settling." Ha! So true for all of us. May you continue settling for many years to come. :) :) :)

I remember “Tug boat Anne”! That’s old.

Tim. Not boring not boring. For you I’m sure, but I love all these details. Thanks and CUOTO.

THANKS TIM FOR EXPLAINING ABOUT YOUR TUG, AND THE PROP NOZZLE AND WHY THEY ARE DESIGNED THE WAY THEY ARE AND IT GIVES YOU BETTER PULLING POWER

Complexity matched to competence. Way too cool Cap Tim!

Thanks Tim it's never boring, always learning.

Thanks for the tour, and many thanks to your company for allowing you to show us your office!

Thank you! Loved the tour👍 It never stops fascinating me how complex boats are, with all their different systems. All the best wishes for your new position!

You're the man, thanks for these videos. And sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

There's a definite change of 'feel' with the Puerto Rico operations - you are now an offshore vessel, ready to be at sea for weeks without resupply (and needing to handle whatever the weather throws at you). On the 'spontaneous combustion' - really worth reminding people that some paints (e.g. using linseed oil) harden by a chemical reaction with oxygen - not just the solvent evaporating. That reaction makes heat, and goes faster when hot. Thus piles of paint covered rags have large surface area (more heat) - insulate each other (more heat) - get hot (react faster - more heat). And that can progress to fire. Add in some tropical sunshine on the locker and that extinguisher is a really good idea (as is an external paint locker) Please thank your bosses for permitting these videos - I doubt any viewers will contract your company to tow them, but I'd bet there will be suitable people apply to work at sea because you showed what it's like.[For the bean counters - that's a direct reduction in recruitment costs due to Tim's videos🙂] You take a pride in running a safe happy ship - it shows - and it reflects well on your company. Fair weather - good luck in the 2022 hurricane season

Thanks for the in-depth tour of the boat.

“The wire cuts people in half…. And that’s kinda awful!” 🤣🤣🤣 Fun video!! #CUOTO

Fascinating stuff! I often see the different Types of tugs in the Sany Hook and Philly areas but always wondered about the mechanics and what was involved with making the run. Great job explaining things. Better than any show on TV, Thanks!

Watching on Android TV get to appreciate your video's on the big screen but often guilty of not clicking Like or leaving a comment. So wanted to say thank you again for all your videos, much appreciate the entertainment we get.

Really interesting. Man I wished that more people would interested in really technical videos. Getting the technical part together with the practical impact from someone that’s got all of your experience is a real treat.

New Sub. I worked on a pilot boat back in 90’s.(Port Royal, S.C.) After I dropped the Pilot off I would hang around, and, go out on the tug (1960’s)for extra wage. Extra wage would most always workout except for times when the Custom Agents would show up to inspect a “Bulk” hauling concrete mix from South America.(looking for Kakain). That would be a long day of sitting around. Love your Channel.

That's a beautiful tugboat, Captain! I'd love to work on one before I get too old. I was always more interested in practical seamanship and ship handling than celestial navigation in my short 5 years as a deck cadet.

Gorgeous new boat Congrats 😊

Thanks for the tour. Being an old Navy vet, I could almost smell the fuel and oil.

A wonderful tour of your tug, very enjoable and informative. Thank you Capt.

Boring!?!? Are you kidding!? I was hanging on Every.Single.Word. This is absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for the tour and explanations!

Recently found your channel. It was great to see around the inside of a tug. Thanks for showing it

Good morning Captain Tim, I couldn't help but laugh when you forgot what you were talking about right after you explained slippage,, we all have a little slippage as we age, I also seem to have the shrinking and widening thing happening. Thanks for the great tour, when I was in the Navy they always said there is nothing that salt water and sailors can't F**k up. so I understand about the light rust you had. I have been spending some time watching tow boats on the Mississippi river,, they get mad if you call them tugs.lol. Again thank you for taking the time to make and edit these videos. CUOTO

Man Alive! The sheer complexities of it all! A self sufficient ship and crew at sea.....nice.

HOLA Tim: Never ever have I found any of your talks about stuff Boring, even if your going over things we already know from your older videos. And not to worry about the scratch. my eyes got used to it and did not notice it. 👍👍👍

Hi Tim, Stumbled on your video's a few weeks ago. My first impression: "Man thay guy loves his job !" I was kinda impressed how complex a big tugboat has to be, but of course as you stated, you have to be able to be at sea for three weeks at a time, and it's a big ship. Me for my selve, i passed for my boatinglicence two a couple of weeks ago (thats for non commercial use only ! not to become a sailor !) Meaning I'm allowed to sail boats up to 25 Meters (abt 80Ft) worldwide. Funny fact is, I have never set foot on any boat and defenitely would not know how to deal with it. Anyhow.. your video's are highly educational. Regards from the South of the Netherlands

Only from the outside it's clear how huge the barge is. Thank you for the tour!

It’s amazing you reply to every comment here, really shows you are passionate. Hope you have a great day and thank you for making these videos!

Learned more about boats in 30 minutes , nice explanation !

Thanks to you and of course your bosses for letting us ride along!

Just found your UKposts channel and I can't wait to learn a lot of things I didn't know about my dad's life as a seagoing tugboat captain. He worked for Sonat Marine back in the 80's, then Maritrans, and I remember him as a captain on the Columbia for the longest time. I got to go out with him for 3 weeks once when I was a kid, and it was fascinating. I've always wished he would tell me more about tug life than he does, so I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your life out at sea with us!

Great tour, and amazing. Thank you!

Great tour, thanks Tim.

Awesome tour. Thankyou :)

Thanks Tim for showing us your new boat!

I feel like I should get a Certificate of Completion from your master class of marine vessels. Bravo!

Awesome tour! Thanks

Thanks for the tour

I saw a large Norwegian stern trawler in Mallaig years ago that had stuffed the bow into a big wave. It bent in the steel below the bridge windows and broke them too. My friend Alister MacDonald worked for the ship yard there that fixed up the local fishing fleet. He said they'd lost all the bridge electronics and also took tons of water down the companionway and flooded the galley and damaged the equipment there too.

Absolutely great and well presented tour. Thank you.

Thanks for the tour !!

Very informative Tim - thank you!

Thanks, Capt. Enjoyed the tour.

Tim, great tour. Just found your channel. Fascinating the well thought out systems backups needed to make sure the job gets done.Best, Jim

Another great effort for your subs, Tim! Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce these for us. CUOTO

Thanks for the tour ... always interesting.

Thanks for the tour! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot!.... Thanks for taking the time to educate all of us!

Great tour, very informative, thanks Tim.

Lucky you, the Caribbean. Woohoo.

Thanks Tim, Great tour. Big boat. CUOTO!

Thank You for the tour, as always very informative and interesting.

Awesome boat tour Tim ! Would love more, and also tours of the different barges themselves. Thanks for such great content !

Excellent tour and explanation Tim! Those big tugboats are so cool

Loved the engine room tour, I've always been interested in marine power and propulsion. Thanks for the great video and good luck on the new boat !

Thanks for the tour!

Thank you Tim!

Excellent tour ! Thank you so much for having us onboard with you!

Very informative! Thank you very much.

Great video. Thanks for showing me around.

Tim, thanks very much for showing us the new boat. I really appreciate how you explain things and always take the time to define things that we may not know or might have forgotten. Thanks to your advice, I have gotten my MMC (o/s, wiper, steward) and one day will take the leap into the hawsepipe.

Tim always broadcasting great and instructive videos. Great work captn.

Very interesting tour thank you

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video (as always)!

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed this one.

thanks for the tour...

Another great video capt. Tim .

Nice tour thx

Really enjoy you sharing your job, life, and knowledge

Tim, Loved your tour. You seriously do a great job at pointing stuff out that I find interesting. I will never be on a tug but the access and voice over is great. Thank You!

Your not settling Tim its just that the earth sucks... The rust tells me that you are on a working boat not a showboat, you now spend a lot more time in rougher water compared to harbor time. Loving your new island videos man, you are living the dream brother! #CUOTO

Excellent and informative video. Appreciate you taking the time for the tour.

Nice view. Looks awesome 🤙🤙😎

Great video Tim! CUOTO!

Very good. Always enjoy a full boat tour.

Great explaination Tim, thanks for the clear information.

Great to see below deck. tks

Thank you for the tour…looks ok it was a little warm!

Cold and rain in NY harbor today. I bet you don’t miss it!

Fantastic tour really enjoyed the video. I bet with a good crew 3 weeks out just flies by. Thanks for showing us around.

Another great video, loved it😎

Thanks for the tour! This was really interesting!

Great video! Thanks 🙏🏻

Thank you for the vessel tour. Awesome.I always wondered what happens below deck, Neat to see the Engineering Officer doing his thing. Thanks Tim, take care and be safe!

Loved the video. Thank you for the tour!

Tanks for the tour

Very cool Tim. Loved watching NYC waters that I rode in with my dad in our 16 ft. 85 hp runabout when I was a kid (1972 ish) but these just as good if not better because of the change of scenery. I'll be here every Tuesday.

That was awesome Capt! Thank you so much for the tour. I can't believe you get paid for this type of work. What a cool job, and tug. Be safe!

Very interesting. Thank you!!!!

I never thought about all the details about tugboating! Very interesting!

The best tug tour on the internet. Thank you Tim!!!! I could spend days digging through those spare parts bins which is why I could never be a boat engineer because it would take me days to find anything. 😉 (Of course you always find what you need in the last place you look). 🤣

Captain Tim: Thank you for the video and another production well done. Think I wold go for no nozzles, prop walk is a friend if used correctly. Anyway, I greatly appreciate your efforts in doing these videos. Bill

AMEN BROTHER. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU SHARE WITH US.

Fascinating... it's a little floating city complete with all the utilities.

I'm gonna miss watching you pulling and pushing barges. In and out of Port Jeff harbor.

Hey Tim, your videos are always educational, interesting and informative. Keep making them. Greetings from Barbados.
