AI-Generated Description:
In this thrilling video, join me, the towboat operator, as I race against the relentless tide to save a stranded 26ft Deep Impact boat from the clutches of a sandbar. Sometimes, in the midst of a good time on the sandbar, it's easy to lose track of the tide, and that's exactly what happened in this case. With the current rushing through Big Pass today, the clock is ticking, and I know it's only a matter of time before I won't be able to free the boat. Witness the adrenaline-pumping action, as we navigate through challenging waters and do everything in our power to rescue this boat before it's too late. Don't miss out on this high-stakes race against Mother Nature herself!

Just an old woman in my 70's here and I've taught a lot of people that very knot. Make a loop in the long side, bring the short end out of the loop hole: The squirrel comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and back in the hole. That's it. It is easy to untie as the loop isn't too tight on the short end. I use it for so many things. Tying a load on my truck starts with this knot. Then I can tie into it if need be.
@CaptKenO
@CaptKenO 10 месяцев назад
Haha! Yeah. It's a very easy knot to tie once you learn it...and if you do it enough like I do, you can do it just by feel. The 2nd most common knot I use with a cleat hitch being the most common

In Texas, (where there may not be environmental laws like Florida) we back up close to the grounded boat, attach the towing gear, and use the thrust from our propellers to wash the sand from beneath the grounded boat, at the same time clearing a little "channel" to tow the boat off the sandbar.

Outboards are built for soeed, but lack torque because the propeller diameter is smaller. The greater the diameter the greater the thrust.
@CaptKenO
@CaptKenO 3 месяца назад
Not exactly true. For the most part, yes. A larger prop will provide more "bite" than a small prop, but it's the combination of size and pitch that matter. As for thrust, you can either move a large amount of water slowly (big prop slow rpm) or a small amount quickly (small prop high rpm).

Cap if that line snaps it is literally going to go right through you. Consider putting up a barrier of some kind just behind the back rest that would protect you from a 400mph 1" thick bullwhip.

Thank you for your concern Dave, but I'm not worried. First, that line will never break. It's working load is far above what we're able to generate with these boats. Second, let's just say something else broke, that line is designed to have very little snap back, so it would fall in the water long before it reached me

A short course in rope tying and knots is the FIRST thing to know when becoming a boater. The second thing to know is screwing that drain plug back in before you put the boat in the water. I could go on but I think you newbys get the idea. Simply take a Coast Guard course in boating before you "mount your steed" and become a nuisance to everyone else. CHARGE !!!!!

How do you guys prop your boats? Same as usual- using the WOT RPM range? Or do you go for more blade area and lower pitch because the primary purpose of the boat is to pull shit off other shit?
@CaptKenO
@CaptKenO 4 месяца назад
Lol 😂 Good question! I know the prokat is propped WOT and the worldcat is propped for towing (I don't know what prop is on either of them). The whaler I assume is propped WOT as well since that was a converted pleasure boat and I don't think it got re-propped. There's benefits to both. The worldcat pulls hard but is so god damn slow...and the prokat pulls pretty hard, but could do better...but is faster and more efficient

@@CaptKenO Hey, appreciate the reply, bud! I can see the benefits of going both ways, so I was curious which brought more money home. I'm about to watch the Princess vid, and a question occurred to me- where's the liability for damage during recovery fall? I don't know how strong the running gear is on the big stuff, but I'd think that if you had to really reef on something that big, a prop , rudder or strut might get bent?

Try using a figure 8 knot next time. They release after having stress on them.
@CaptKenO
@CaptKenO 5 месяцев назад
A figure 8 knot is used as a stopper...not to tie to something. A bowline is much better to use and is the knot I would tie, but I wasn't tolhe one tieing the knot, so both are irrelevant

What is the use of pulling a fiberglass hull on a sandbar without digging a channel first.

How exactly do you propose I dig a channel for a boat this size? Also, it's just sand. There's absolutely nothing wrong with dragging it through sand

I would bet that most boat owners can't tie a bowline. For a lot of them, it's not a knot they use frequently or ever. As far as a half hitch goes, probably even less people use that in boating

There's a marker at the east end of the sandbar, but it's not anywhere near where this guy ran aground. If we had shoal markers for every sandbar in the area there wouldn't be any trees left to make more pole out of 🤣

I think you should humble yourself. If you can't reason why people don't know the terms. Every car has tires but most people don't know what a lug nut is. Get off your high horse.
@elwhagen
@elwhagen 4 месяца назад
@@shelfingtonthe3rd659 To be able to quickly tie a knot that can pull tons and also is quickly untied is an important skill for safety reasons. This kind of a tow could be made without the boats getting closer than 50 feet if the beached captain knew his basics. This time it was on a sand bar, the next time he's had an engine failure and is up on a rock and things need to be quickly resolved in a safe manor. BTW, where I live, it's actually mandatory to know what a lug nut is, since you have a responsibility to check them a while after changing tires, also for safety reasons. As proven by thousands of videos, Florida is unfortunately plagued by too many rich people that have absolutely no clue what they are doing, while running some seriously big boats - and they are surely not humble at all, while they should be!

@@CaptKenO There is a spot here in British Columbia very few people ever visit because you have to wait for the tide to get back out. 12 hours in a 1/2 mile wide 4 mile long lagoon ( Nepah Lagoon ) with 1 narrow, shallow pass for entry / exit and it is to deep to drop anchor. Around 400 feet deep with a bottom that is nearly impossible to get a good hold on. Even a shallow draft centre console has to wait until high water slack to make it through the pass, the tidal flow is a killer in full flow. Tony Fleming took his Fleming 65 in once and posted vid on here titled Venture visits Nepah Lagoon. The tender ( they used a 18 foot rib ) was able to go through and check depth at low water slack so they could verify it was safe to transit for the 5'4" draft Venture. He included a bit of it in full flow, white water tidal flow.
