  Why is the barge black? black is hard to see at night as I know from almost plowing into one head on in my skiff when it looked like empty water between the running lights was actually black barge. At least this one has a bit of yellow up top.

• 
  @TimBatSea20 сағат бұрын

  Thank you for watching Alan. Vessels at night are designed and perhaps painted to be seen on radar and navigation lights. The colour of the barge really shouldn't be an issue if it is dark out. The yellow headlog on the front of barge's is to aid the tug towing it in judging it's distance in daylight. A large lite barge or ship can be extremely hard to see at night regardless of it's colour and that is why a proper lookout and situational awareness is so important at all times. Be safe out there my friend. CUOTO

  Tim, no tugboat captain is "lowly". From owning a boat, I know the most challenging times operating are leaving the dock and especially returning to the dock. Large merchant ships spend most of their time in the open sea, where there's little chance of hitting anything, and have pilots help them with the harbor navigation and docking. You do all that on your own, and all the time. My hat goes off to you.

In aviation I know there's lots of folks in place to make things work right, most the time & excluding emergencies. I'd think that you guys would have a tight "ship" as it were & it only makes sense to move things ahead of weather.

  No, it's fair to compare..... both are a big deal, worth lots of money, and needs to get to the other side. IDKnow much about it but some of their engines are massive. And I've seen on smaller boats that they have small props that allow them to move sideways. Hopefully the Captain adds to this b/c I'd like to know more. peace

  Whenever I hear the word "dispatcher", it reminds me when I was in training out of Venice LA. Dispatched at 0200 to deliver a small package to a jackup boat just outside the mouth of the river in the Gulf. The dispatcher was real antsy and insisted we get underway NOW. We arrived at the jackup around 0400. We called on their working channel, 16, and blew are horn. No response. After about 15/20 minutes about 4/5 crew shuffle outside to the rail. Literally, they looked like zombies. They looked down at us and shuffled back inside the house. Not a word or acknowledgment. Knowing normal ship routine, I told my captain...new watch 0600..breakfast 0700...crew on deck 0800 to receive the package. 0750, it happened. In the mean time we did weather legs and drifted. Couldn't tie up to the jackup...might pull it over😮😅 Always enjoy watching you manuever and talking through it. I know, big difference between hip and wire. I got a little confused when you had port rudder to leave the dock. But. then I realized you were "walking" to starboard.

  Hey Tim difficult question for you --- In NYC and other places where there is a traffic net, my understanding is that civillian traffic like small yachts are not required to check in, only commercial traffic, however would such a boat be allowed/welcome to check into the traffic net in the interests of making sure they stay out of big traffic's way, or would that be considered inappropriate ?

  @@TimBatSea Tim, you're spot on However, may I add that not all VTS's are alike, especially when it comes to the traffic count? For instance, Tampa Bay VTS is relaxed compared to the Puget Sound that runs from Olympia north to the St.of Juan de Fuca where it joins the Strait of Georgia separating Vancouver Island and the BC mainland. This is a very busy waterway. You have a mirid of local and Alaska bound tugs and tows, Friday and Sunday cruise ships, daily movement of ocean going container ships going in and out of several ports, Navy traffic, including nuclear subs, and both WA state and BC maintain extensive networks of large ferry boats going back and forth. To me, maintaining a listening watch on VTS is good practice in these high traffic areas; especially true when August rolls around and is known as "Fogust" there for good reason. Both the US and CA have VTS available. Ch 14, 5, in the US and 11 lower BC.

  There are some great controllers/dispatcher out there, that have a forward thinking brain and a great way of putting it over. The ATC controller I like to tune into when I need a chuckle is the now retired Kennedy Steve, he just has a great way with words. Working in tunnel construction in cramped yards in London takes a lot of organizing to receive daily precast lining segment's, bulk cement, to keep the Tunnel Boring Machines going. Timber for handworks, fuel for loading shovels and cranes. Tipper trucks for muck away. We had an East End Londoner who spoke in cockney rhyming slang half the time, and with a West African or Indian accent the rest of the time. But boy could he keep those trucks moving with the greatest humor going. No bad language, no falling out, if a driver helped him out that driver got the favor back three fold. Watching the container transport rigs behind you and the vids title reminded me of all that. So you've done it again, stirred the old box. THANKS FOR THAT.
