Share the River promotes the economic, recreational and social vibrancy of Cleveland's waterfront. We create and post original content via our social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, KZread) and website to 1) brand Cleveland as a waterfront city and 2) remind people how a cleaner, more vibrant river and lake is an economic driver for Northeast Ohio (as Marshall McLuhan famously coined, “the medium is the message”).

couldn't be late for cocktail hour I guess
10:35 Wilfred Sykes has a master salute and Nautica Queen respond to her back
UBER EXCITED
He was my relief captain on the TDA 20 odd years ago. Good man
Great Video! Nice Job Jim!
Thank you for filming this!!! I was at the picnic table next to the grill you filmed in this video
Seeing the total solar eclipse was so amazing, it was epic and remarkable! 🤩😍🌘🌑
Great Blazing Paddles documentary!
We enjoted a legendary day last year!
Enjoyed 😊
1:05 The honking starts!
Suprised he isnt blasting inappropriate music.
Hi Cap I was one of many that built the Masbi Miner
I just saw my boss Mike Grano, he's a very awesome guy and I love him so much! 😇🙏🏽❤
Michael's always been a great host (as has the entire Collision Bend Brewing Co. team)!
@@ShareTheRiver Yes, that's why I love him so much because I'm his best employee in collision bend when he said he loves to have me in collision bend. 😊🙏🏽❤
I had to miss last year that would have been my first, but was able to make this year event with some friends of mine, and we had the most AWESOME day! My one friend was interviewed, "THE PIRATE>>ARR" lol, Ed, and watching that take place and just all the other activities before and during and at the end, the only sad thing I can say took place, was the color and debre of the river. But Hey! It's nature. I'm just thankful I could experience this event, and at age 63, and some health problems, I pray there will be more of the same in my future. Thanks Cleveland and the Cuyahoga River crews and participants. Paddle on...🛶
What a great little tribute to this FANTASTIC, growing annual tradition!!
Mari, you're ON to us. We LOVE how families have embraced Blazing Paddles Paddlefest as a family tradition!
I'll say is that what kinda person who stands so close while the lift bridge is lowering down, I wouldn't do that because it's too dangerous so all I do is stand behind the crossing gate for my safety. I gotta follow the rules everyone has to follow the rules when they stop at a lift bridge that is about to rise up to let the big freighter ship come through. It'll be just like when you're stopping at a railroad crossing I will definitely have to follow the safety rules when I stopped at that crossing, people have to follow the safety rules on that too because I already know that there's just too much accidents at a railroad crossing when there's a car just end up getting hit by a train because some people didn't want to follow the safety rules or doesn't care much about it.
watch out for booby big wheels , on lakes or rivers, he owns the water, a dork
When you have more money than brains!
I don't believe the 5 horn blasts were for the searay. It is common for large vessels to sound 5 horns when reversing in tight confines, when leaving a berth and when approaching a rail bridge.
Absolutely wrong Sir. Reversing is three short blasts, leaving a berth, slip or approaching a blind bend is one long blast. Five short blast are the "danger" signal.
Maybe you're a landlubber...who can't stand criticism...It's called a ship's whistle
Pity about your failure to win a Reverse Darwin Award, Sea Ray - better luck next time! (and I'm damn sure you WILL have a 'next time' . . . )
5 short = unsure of your intentions
Personally Im good with the floating human excrement. The Cuyahoga is as repugnant as the Hudson in even more repulsive NYC
Big money means big inconsideration
I bet money he had no clue what the 5 blasts meant!
Sea Ray is freaking sexy ass boat. 😍
Lots of money, No skills = No Brains
Nonsense. There’s nothing going on here apart from a poster who knows how to generate clicks.
We'd have nothing if the Sea Ray captain hadn't tried this move. The wisdom of the crowd sure confirms the AC captain's response, no?
WHAT a pair of MORONS both the "skippers of the yacht and the motor cruiser are. First the motor cruiser gets WAY too close to the freighter, then does a 180 degree turn. NOT smart, something goes wrong, you are crushed like a bug. Second the yacht. Obviously planning to moor alongside, but where were the prepared mooring lines? The guy with the aft lines is last seen holding a length of blue spaghetti, not even ready to be passed to the guy waiting to receive the lines. That line should have been broken out several minutes before, coiled into two distinct coils, ready for either passing or throwing. (Passing being preferable, to prevent rope going in the water with the dangers of getting it wrapped round the prop. Bunch of incompetent monkeys, certainly NOT sailors.
All the captains and their crew’s do a great job maneuvering their ships either through a narrow river or coming in off the huge Great Lakes. Coming in towards the docks to load or unload is so fascinating to watch. I’m grateful to get to see them on the live cams or in person.
I don’t care if that captain messed up or didn’t. If I seen that freighter coming in through a narrow river like that I would move away from it. You never know when the bow or stern thrusters are going to kick in. You never know when something can go wrong. She’s too huge to mess with. I definitely know enough to respect something that huge . I’m always amazed on how the captains of those huge freighters can maneuver them through narrow spaces like that. I’m glad no one got hurt.
I need to upgrade my train horn on my truck to a ship horn. .. . That was great!!!!
Regardless the size of a vessel - from a rowboat to a large merchant ship, if you do not follow the Colregs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, aka 'rules of the road'), you will be held accountable for your actions and results thereof, before the courts. A case in point that all small craft, including sailboats, should always keep in mind, is Rule 9 - Narrow Channels, in particular sections 'a' and 'b' - "a vessel < 20 metres in length shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway". Also Rule 18 - Responsibilities between Vessels; in sections 'a', 'b' & 'c', it is stated "a vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre". Clearly, the large pleasure craft just off the port side of the "American Courage" was in contravention of said rules. He should have been charged and fined by the USCG.
The large pleasure craft didnt hurt anyone.
Rule 9, Narrow channels does not apply in inland waters. That is an international rule only.
What a douche he could have waited one minute but would rather scrape the Barnacles off his transom on some big cargo ship
22 year boater, I don't see what the infraction of the Sea Ray was. He was abeam of the freighter, and executed a turn while still abeam of the freighter. Maybe during the turn he came closer to the freighter than he was while parallel, but should have posed no greater threat of collision while turning than he did while going forward. Like another commentor stated, it is not obvious that the horn blasts were directed at the Sea Ray.
Take a look where the freighter was headed. Their next move is a significant turn that will swing the trailing end of the ship towards the power boat. By turning around where he did, the captain of the powerboat removed any ability to maneuver out of the way, and removed the space needed for the freighter to turn. The powerboat skipper should have waited until they were clear of the freighter to reverse.
Arrogant idiots are such arses.
Sea Rays are the Dodge trucks of the water
What makes you think that the same American idiots who do not know how to drive on land are proficient @ operating a Vessel on the water?
I don't see what the big deal is. The operator of the white boat performed a flawless manoeuvre and is clearly skilled. It ain't like he risked damaging the ship.
That's like saying stopping in the middle of a busy intersection at peak hour, and dropping a drift burnout is skilled, you complete and utter moron. That skipper put himself, both sailboats and even the people on the boardwalk in danger. If not from his dumbass maneuvering causing a collision, than from the combined prop and thruster wash. All he had to do was wait. It's extremely lucky that all that happened is that his idiocy was recorded and posted on youtube for people to mock him, and rightly so. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near this idiot on the water.
I'm a navigation noob. What's the faux pas here?
What the Keyboard Kaptains are whining about is that the SeaRay (white powerboat) got close to the freighter while performing a 180 degree turn. The SeaRay presented NO DANGER to the freighter but the freighter captain blew the danger signal (5 short blasts) to remind the operator of the SeaRay to stay clear. It wasn't a big deal.🙄
@@pcs5852 gotcha, thank you.
What was the idiot in the sail boat doing? Kept squeezing the other guy. It’s like watching someone drive around looking for a parking spot in the Mall.
In landlubber terms, he's parallel parking behind the other sailboat, and doing a perfect job of it. The sailboat did absolutely nothing wrong. The sailboat is in near perfect condition and has a very competent crew. The powerboat was a moron for coming that close to the ship.
I don’t know why he blasted him.. looks like he handled it like a champ.
I agree !
He handled it like an idiot
Not the only incident this ship has been involved with in the last few days😆kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYWNtKeqlNngZps.htmlsi=ICJwV41yqQubty2U
I doubt @hole even noticed.
In the UK the guy would get a visit and fine from the harbour authority.
How do these foolish captains get their license??
Many states do not require a license to use a watercraft.
A few of the commenters here have a serious case of class envy... holy cow keyboard warriors
True that !
... when a vessel that size is telling you the situation is dangerous, you should probably pay attention. Here's a hint, skippy: if it outweighs you by that many orders of magnitude, NOBODY cares how much you paid for your hardtop... you can still get cut in half and it'll be your fault.
It's called the law of tonnage!
It wasn't a move of arrogance. He clearly just had too much port reverse, and didn't see the bow of the Courage swinging over (you can see the Courage engage his thruster to try and bring it back). No need to hate on the dude lol.
@@Bread996 not seeing the bow that can sink you right there is a really bald move and irresponsable manouvering... just wait a few seconds and you'll have clear space to turn.
Captain is responsible for both ends of his/her vessel - all at the same time. If Courage had needed to put her bow to port - which is likely at that bend in the river - (memorial shoreway/collision bend) the intake on her thrusters could very well have drug the boat into her side - even if the SeaRay powered away from the intake - where would he go? He'd accelerate right into the dock.
Another clown trying to show off his money in front of everyone in the Flats. What a dumb guy!
Beautiful sailboat, but power boat operator has more money than brains.
