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 canât imagine working for someone that didnât 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.
-
I am waiting for the big reveal with high hopes for a new direction for You Captain Ken.

Well, this companies poor decisions have let some other company gain a very experienced and capable tow boat operator Nice job Capt Ken!

How in the world can that guy not know to put the line under the railing (did you call it a lifeline?).
-
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 youâre recording for your private broadcast could violate some service or employment contract. Iâm not a lawyer. Unlike filming at a beach or park, which are public spaces, youâre recording someoneâs private property, kind of like paparazzi. I havenât seen any inappropriate videos of wivesâ butts or children, but the client doesnât 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.
