When I was working for the Louisiana Hwy Dept back in the early '70s there was no bridge at Luling, they only had a ferry with two huge low RPM (600 PRM MAX) White-Worthington Diesels! Got to ride in the wheelhouse every time we crossed because I was an LA Hwy Dept employee. Took almost 20 to 30 minutes to cross the mighty Missisip fully loaded! Great shots Capt! Keep'em Coming!
Great video again Capt the sure don`t look that big in the water i have always been amazed over the years when i have dry docked all my tugs and never get tired of looking whats under water
If you were inclined, couldn't you livestream anytime you wanted? Just set the camera up in the wheelhouse on a tripod with it pointed out the front glass?
I worked on a supply boat for Seahorse Inc. back in the mid 80's just out of school for a couple of years. My cousin got me on, he was a chief engineer at the time. LOVED IT…..we were leased on to Shell at the time and worked out of Morgan City and Venice, typically going out the mouth of the river or North Pass to a few rigs. I tell people even today that if i had not been color blind I would still likly be doing it to this day.
This dry dock video brings back some good memories…. we were in dry dock one time in Algiers when New Orleans had the Worlds Fair. We stood on the back deck and watched the Space Shuttle circle New Orleans before it landed to be bought up the Intercostal. GOOD TIMES
Absolutely beautiful scenery out there! The boats the barges and the sun setting doesn't get any better than that. When you had video panned to the right the scenery would make a great wall picture! Thanks Capt Kyle for sharing such beauty
Awesome content I watch them all
What happened to your boat ?
Evening Captain.

Shout out from Biloxi. Thanks for the effort, Capt.
Do hitting logs mess things up much?
How often are propellers reworked/replaced to keep them in balance?

No better office than a wheelhouse! Always a room with a view.
From Canada, Thanks For All, Priceless Of All You Have To Share. Cheers.
They do have some with backing rudders. Just one in the middle for backing.
You shake too much. Invest in a Tri-pod. You can change the setting to get rid of shakes.
Would be awesome to see how the boat gets into or out of the dry dock.
Awesome perspective from under the boat! Thanks for sharing.
I live down in a valley, ne er get to see sunrises and sunsets. I really enjoy seeing yours. Beautiful colors tonight.
Thanks for the underside tour. Very interesting.

Interesting process. Thank you Captain.
Why did they drydock you ??
I sometimes wish 40 years ago I would have went to work on one of these, I was raised on the river , but I moved to Table Rock lake instead
