For years I have been watching Tim, as well as others, here in North Thailand. And I will say that these videos give me, as a 72 year old, something to watch instead of the News Tim, as a 100% disabled vet… thanks for your service to US.

I was watching a live stream video of the bridge demolition blast yesterday, and some dude in a kayak was paddling by the bridge. A Coastie quickly escorted the wayward paddler away. I would have liked to listen in on that scolding.

Hi Captain Tim! I was really wishing I could come down to the harbor when you were here in Baltimore just to say HI, but I don't feel safe in the city anymore. Maybe another time. It's still hard to believe that the Key bridge is gone. I have driven over it many times. No more. Alas. CUOTO

Reminds me of the time I was at Jones Island, WA and got called back to Anacortes. I had a McJob at West Marine. Viability was 100' at best, I had a first generation hand held gps and a paper chart. When I broke out of the fog 5 miles later, there were 3 Sunday boaters in huge yachts with radar, chart plotters etc. following me!

Dramatic passage in the fog. Like an aviator, one needs good eyes to do your job. Thanks for posting this. It helps explain the reason for the demolition delays, difficult to place those charges in a fog. (In the captions in the preview window you are quoted "I'm Tim B at C.")

Tim, You mentioned airplane pilots. Yes, two very different worlds in the fog and clouds. You’re doing an approach at 5 knots, pilots in IMC at anywhere from 90-140 knots on approach. Always a good feeling when the runway pops out of the overcast just where it is charted.

Having an extra set of "good" eyes is real helpful in the fog. I spent the night anchored at Fishers Island (Just south of New London CT), summer of 1996. Woke up to heavy fog and no wind. We motored out of the harbor and around the west end of the island headed back to Long Island. After we lost sight of land, I was in the bow with my brother at the tiller. I could hear what I assume was a buoy bell or maybe Race Rock lighthouse that made a circle around me... my brother was driving us in circles. I had to give him a quick course in wave direction and how to read the compass that was right in front of him. No radar, chart plotter or GPS, but I did have a radar target up the mast a ways so commercial guys like you would see a little 25' sailboat in those conditions.

Hey Cap'n! It still amazes me how quick that boat gathers pace with any kind of barge. My ship has only 610 metric tonnes load capacity and a fairly heafty Deutz V12 twin turbo, 660 hp (520 hp @ the prop). Even though my ship has probably a better HP to tonnage ratio then the combo's you're working, it doesn't gather pace like that. Honestly, i'd love to have a go on one of those tugs...😅

The thing you said at the beginning said it all. Not only you, but your company, both are smart enough to know the dangers. What happened to the electrical systems of the DALI at the port should have been enough of a warning for the captain/company to have the DALI stay put and not leave the port.

More eyes with the fog is essential. I used to work on a high speed ferry in the northeast. Foggy days up in the wheel house were usually: Captain on the throttles with the chart plotter and radar, mate on the 2nd radar looking for small targets, deckhand steering, and usually a second deckhand on watch. Oh yeah, and a whole bunch of security calls. Great video and be safe!

@SuperRede4u 14 дней назад

Tim, FYI The cutting crew were cutting predetermined notches in the bridge structure sitting on the Dali. These are for the shaped charges that will (when fired) cut thru the metal like a hot knife thru butter, causing the bridge structure to fall away from the Dali. There will be minimal beams left on the bow to get rid of after that. They also have placed additional anchor lines on it to keep it (Dali) in place after the weight of the bridge structure is gone after the demo operation.

Thank you for watching. Those are the visual part of the high level alarms for the 10 tanks on the barge. CUOTO

They demoed the truss piece on the Dali yesterday. They hope to get her refloated and moved out of the way by Friday.

Oh my lord, I didn't realise your location until I saw the Key Bridge, that was a bit tight going through there...

👍✅ Another thing I have been meaning to comment, Tim you need to be careful with all those safety calls, explanations to your crew as to why you are doing things and always advising your assist/safety tug as to your plan. If you keep this up some people may start to believe that you are a true gentleman😂😂

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

😂😂😂😂 💯 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO

Isn’t it considered rope until it’s used ? Then the rope becomes a line ? I’m talking about the tan round things.

Thank you for watching. It might be, but I have never heard that before. CUOTO

What is the purpose of the array of colored lights in the left side of the frame?

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

You don't want to see them lit! Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. That is the visual part of the high level alarms for the 10 tanks onboard. CUOTO

@@TimBatSeaAh. Thanks! BTW, I share your love of Puerto Rico. I had the first 4 mobile color TV trucks on the island in the early 70s. Three of the happiest years of my life!

It sounds like the tug is shaking to pieces when youre doing a twist or turning and such. Is it really that bad on the main bridge or does it disrupt your sleeping coworkers? Cyoto

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

Thank you very much for watching Jason. That is caused by cavitation. Below has a much different sound that is coming through the water and the hull. We are 70 feet up in the upper wheel house and a rumble in the lower house can be a violent thing at the top. CUOTO

I mostly can understand your terminology but have a question. what does "in clutch" mean? I gotta know. thanks for the great videos

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Stuart. "Clutch" means minimal power, throttles up against the clutches. CUOTO

What would be your advice for someone that been gone from the boats for 17 years and wants to get back on boats and hopefully be a captain one day

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

Thank you for watching Bobby. 3 things. Watch my old video, "How to work on a Tugboat". Call John at Marinercredentials.com to get your paperwork started and remember that everyone has to start at the bottom. If you want to be a Tugboat captain, you better be willing to put the years in on deck first. CUOTO

I bet you never thought you would be going over the bridge instead of under it.

@TimBatSea 12 дней назад

You are correct Roy! Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO

I surprised that the bouys are not be lighted better.

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

Thank you for watching. It was probably not a priority because transits are limited to daylight hours only. CUOTO

??? What does quick water mean and why is it an issue regarding quick water? Sincerely! R.S.V.

@TimBatSea 14 дней назад

Thank you for watching Richard. Quick water, or what some might call "prop wash" is the water being pushed out the back of another vessel. There are some tugs (see NYC videos) where the quick water can spin us around. CUOTO
