  • @Psalm1101
    His lost big time thank-you for teaching us so much
  • Love watching your videos. Just started my own channel for the work I do up in Michigan at one of the busiest TowBoat ports in the country!
  • As someone who was a tow operator on land I completely understand recording if nothing more for liability reasons. I can’t imagine working for someone that didn’t want you to cover your butt or so you can learn if you did screw up.

    I used to hate getting calls for sail boats. Most I encountered were inexperienced. They would call in saying they lost power and needed towed into Marco Marina. They would usually call in about 20 miles south of Marco even though they had 15 knot winds.

  • @53Peterbilt

  • How in the world can that guy not know to put the line under the railing (did you call it a lifeline?).
  • @vancity2349
    Sorry to hear this, hope it all works out for you. Is the big reveal you get your own boat?
  • At the beginning of the tow it looked like his rudder was turned to port. Did the water over the rudder self correct this? Nice boat. Questionable seamanship. Good video. Thanks.

    I suppose not disclosing to the client or your boss that you’re recording for your private broadcast could violate some service or employment contract. I’m not a lawyer. Unlike filming at a beach or park, which are public spaces, you’re recording someone’s private property, kind of like paparazzi. I haven’t seen any inappropriate videos of wives’ butts or children, but the client doesn’t know that. If anything, recording is a smart CYA move for insurance and safety purposes, documented proof of your skills if some jerk wants to try to pin some damage, accidental or that he caused, on you. Maybe just tell your new boss your recording plan and post a sign for customers. Technically, that could be evidence if god forbid something goes wrong and someone gets hurt. Appreciated watching your seamanship skills. Thank you for your videos. Good luck with your new boss. Fair winds.

    Much of the tow business seems to involve sea sickness--brown bottle flu.
