I was the chief engineer on the USCGC Penobscot Bay (WTGB 107) and engineering petty officer aboard USCGC Wire (WYTL 65612) so I’ve spent considerable time sailing the same waters as you. Your videos are excellent depictions of the life aboard a tug on New York Harbor and the Hudson. Keep up the good job! Frank Libby, CWO4 (Eng), USCG, Ret.

Thank you for watching and for your kind words Frank! It means so much to me coming from a fellow seaman. By the way, I have been approved to shoot a behind the scenes video at USCG Sector NY VTS. I thought we would do in this or last month, but everything has been put on hold. The good news is that the security part seems to be approved and that was the one that we didn't know if they would let cameras in. So, please subscribe if you haven't already, and crossing fingers I'll get the VTS video shot! Be safe and stay healthy.

My wife and I did this a few years back in our Nordic Tug 32, Carrie Rose, on the way to Maine. We left from Great Kills on Staten Island. It is fun to watch because we were so involved with timing, navigating, and if I do say, anxiety that it is hard to remember. Got to Hell Gate just as the current was reversing. I was quite swirly. The fact that you, with your experience, are so plan full validates our hours and hours of study to make the transit without drama. Thanks!

Staying overnight at a nice boatyard at City Island, NY, then thru Hell Gate at slack tide, then on to Atlantic City, Delaware Bay and finally into the Chesapeake.

And I believe the ones that get a job every once in a while are technically half floats. I could be wrong, but I think those old Hugh's floats are original car floats that have been cut in half and sterns welded on to make two smaller barges.

5:05 For those who are interested, the Buttermilk Channel name goes back a ways, possibly as early as before the Revolutionary War. There are various theories but essentially they involve milk from dairy farmers. One version is that it was a rough crossing and when the farmers transported their milk from Brooklyn to the city (Manhattan) the milk would occasionally be churned into butter. Another version is that as milk would spill into the salt water of the upper bay, it would look like it was churned into buttermilk. Another interesting tidbit of history is Governor's Island, which forms the west side of the Buttermilk Channel (Brooklyn forming the east side). Originally it was much smaller at 69 acres but today, thanks to the miracle of landfill, it is 172 acres. The landfill occurred in the very early 1900s. It is also the home of what is now New York State. The first settlers arrived on Governor's Island in 1624.

Having sailed up/down the East River a number of times in my sailboat (usually motoring), it's generating lots of nostalgia to see this transit. In a small boat, Hells Gate involves lots of steering changes to stay in the center of the channel due to the eddies. I love this transit, and usually stop in the protected anchorage by the Throgs Neck Bridge to wait for the tide to change on the way back. The prison barge is always very interesting. Like a small hotel (with a barbed wire basketball court on the roof). Thanks for the video.

Throgs Neck, Triboro and Whitestone , all the names I constantly heard and traversed in my childhood! We had relatives in Brooklyn and Queens, so crossing those bridges were very much a big part of my growing up! We would pass by I believe Bellevue Hospital, known more as a looney bin back then. When we kids would act up in the long traverse from DaBronx, me Pops would threaten to drop us off at Bellevue, if we didn’t pipe down! LOL. YOU TALK ABOUT A WIDE EYED SILENCE as we passed Bellevue! 😇🤣😂Excellent content Captain. Please, more of the same. Prefaced by the charts of course! 👍👏🏻😁

Thank you for the great video, Capt! I love watching the commercial traffic transit the Hellgate while having my breakfast near where I work on the Quuens side. I live on Long Island and do most of my boating/fishing east of where the video ends on the LI Sound. They used to call the Sound "Devil's Pass" because of the many shipwrecks such as the tug Gwendoline Steers who went down near Eatons Neck during an ice storm in 1962. I have a OUPV/Six-Pack Capt Lic but got it mostly for nautical knowledge and don't use it professionally at this time. Your videos help us recreational boaters understand the importance of the service commercial vessels provide and also the need to give you guys a wide berth while plying your trade. Looking forward to your VTS video. Stay well!!, Harry PS Do you ever have problems with sailboats cutting you off??
@TimBatSea
4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching Harry, and for the kind words. Long island sound has given many a mariner an impressive and surprisingly unexpected beating. I sailed with a guy who had spent most of his career in the North sea. We were getting beaten up by an easterly in the sound when he came up to the wheelhouse and said he was going to go back to the north sea because he couldn't take Long Island Sound anymore. Sailboats can be an issue, but in my opinion I think most of them are a slight bit more knowledgeable about steamship then some of the powerboat people. This may be because it takes just a bit more knowledge to sail then to buy a powerboat and head for sea. But complacency doesn't care what kind of boat you run. (If you ask me the same question in a couple months from now, I may have a different opinion)

I have never clicked subscribe on a channel so fast before. I love your energy and positive attitude! I personally love the time lapses especially when you add commentary over them explaining things about the river or whats going on at the moment as you did in this video. Any knowledge you share (even if incorrect at times) is knowledge gained. I work as a stevedore in Virginia and always see Lube and Bunker barges sneak up beside a vessel in the middle of the night and have always been fascinated watching tugs work in unison to dock a vessel to our pier. I'm a big believer in doing your own research and making your own assumptions which is what you did and you decided to share that with us which is awesome! Even though you were wrong about certain items you admitted that; And there will always be people in the comments (hopefully constructively) correcting you so that we can all be a little bit smarter.

Going south on the East River, against the tide, I saw a large NOAA vessel approaching from the south going north. The boat seemed gigantic and the blunt bow was pushing some water. I decided to move a little to starboard, because there was plenty of room before the wall, a little north of the U.N. That is where I met Mr. Bernoulli and his principle. A rude shock. I had the power to pull away from the wall, but learned a "sweaty hands on lesson" in fluid dynamics!

Thanks so much for the video Skip! I was stationed at USCG Sta. Ft Totten in the early 80's & this brought back many memories. Spent many a mid watch listening to you guys and watching you pass under the T neck bridge. Could just make out the light at stepping stones light house at the very end :) Thanks again

I lived in NYC most of my adult life and never saw what was on the water’s edge until I took a Circle Line cruise for fun with coworkers. I would love to see more of this and even the trip in reverse for another perspective. This was the best! Thanks.

I also enjoyed the chart work, reminded me of passage planning on my old boat up the East Coast of England. But the strange thing is just last night I was re arranging stuff, I seldom throw stuff away. When I came across a 1975 edition of the Suez Canal chart, I worked on the construction of a road tunnel between the Bitter Lakes and Suez and so bought the chart as a memento.

Way to much coffee. I got spoiled on the boat I was working over on. They had really good coffee. My AB brought a truck load of food in so we wouldn't have to go shopping, but I don't like his coffee. So I drank twice as much hoping it would get better. It didn't. Lol

Another great video Tim. Couple of points: Merchandise : your employer may be savvy enough to agree to a deal where you promote the Elk River, the company and their other vessels and you share the revenues. They would benefit from the goodwill your channel is generating. Travel guide: l bet 90% of New Yorkers don't know the land of New York. Locals tend to take such things for granted. Only a very small number would know New York from the water. Which is another reason why your videos are so interesting to watch. Stay well, stay safe. Best wishes from the UK.

I have taken to looking up the places you are at, and where bound. I even found that little notched slip you pulled into a while back, with your tank man R on board. It took a bit to find it, but it's kinda neat seeing where you're working via Google Maps. I promise you I'm not being a stalker or anything stupid... it's just curiosity and a skill I have combined to add that little bit of 3rd dimension to your videos. You got a neat job there Cap'n. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.

Hello Tim I love watching ship watching videos you know the ones where you just watch the ship move very slowly but I also like the RV guy and what he does is a combination of both narration and long periods in between of driving, what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't mind long periods of just watching the ship go and then throw the time lapses in between with explanations that would be great because watching the ship just go may seem boring but it's very therapeutic. Keep up the good work bro I enjoy your videos very much!
