Hey Capt., been watching your adventures for a long time. I always enjoy watching and am amazed at your driving skills, especially entering locks. Be safe and keep us updated with the beautiful sunrises. Be safe and keep the shiny side up!
Capt. Kyle, I have a favor to ask. Could you slow down just a bit on panning? By the time I figure out what we are looking at - we are somewhere else. I really enjoy the sights along the river and sights aboard the tug You used to be slower on the pan and that was great. Or not. I'll watch anyhow.
Love the videos. Lived by the Mississippi all my life. (Wittenberg, Star Landing, Red Rock). Been on Tower Rock and caught lots of fish. In Chester now. Would love to see more of the engines and how tows are made up.
I spent time on the Ergonaut once, field checking the original electronic chart created by the Corps of Engineers. Caught her at Dennis landing and down to Missouri Bend, back up to Vicksburg. Capt. Jay was on her.
Capt. Could you give us some info and some pictures of those big ass spot lights you all use. I've seen them in use and damn those things can throw a bright beam of light over a mile away. THANKS CAPT!!!
Ricky Greer we use 2 lights port and starboard 1 is Xeon and other is a yellow colored light for when it’s snowing or raining it has very little reflection of snow and rain so it’s easy on the eyes. Remote/manual use
Love the boat swapen or just plain Going or Coming, To bad most of the crew boat pilots don’t liked to be on video 🤷🏻♂️🤔 What I’d REALLY like to see is the coming Alongside the Big Towboat 🚢 And yes, the Stone Straits wheel house is much smaller than Capt Andy’s boat...!!
I'm a new subscriber from New Zealand I have a few questions to ask and if you can answer 1 is there just you on board or are their more, 2 how long do you stay on board, 3 hours of shift. I'm just interested looks like a full on job while working and responsibility.
I know that river pilots are licensed by various stretches of river. But do you also have to get licensed or qualified for different horsepower or size of tow?
It has it’s moments for sure. When there is real work, or on the bad days, I generally don’t get much footage. Pictures and video are very very low on the priority list.
That Boat He,s on is a Dravo built some time in the 70,s at Neville Island Pa...Its anywhere between a 5,600 to 6,200 H.P. and Diamensios are 140x42...
