chelsea creek in the last days of autumn the remains of the old bridge at chelsea street are still an issue very narrow and not yet gone when the removal of the old bridge s bones is completed this will be a cakewalk but for now the chief mate gracefully completed an uneventful and slick passage of this tight and challenging draw it was a pleasure to watch maybe you ll think so too share this

6 comments lady liberty celebrates 125 years and nobody came october 29 2011 by captbbrucato kinda sad really the quintessential american icon got little if any press attention no big parade of tall ships no speeches of note just a beautiful display presumably put on by the grucci family i m not sure if it was their work the one thing that matters to me anyway i was there 25 years ago i was there for her 100th doesn t seem like it but alas it s true only difference was then i was towing the fireworks and got the front row seat even better my family was aboard for the night s events and we won t ever look at fireworks the same way i submit this little bit of video taken from a vantage afforded by my spot in bay ridge anchorage that night and a new cell phone that shoots amazing video check out the difference in quality starting at marker 00 00 29 happy birthday lady liberty it was a grand share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook print opens in new window print email a

from the pilothouse this morning as we approached sandy hook channel after making a trip to points south this last week a long voyage coming to a close after many long days at sea with little to do but steer a course and plot positions one watch after another our last voyage was from the port of new york to port everglades florida with the first leg completed in just over four days and kind of remarkable in that we had a surprisingly pleasant trip past cape hatteras both ways the weather was rainy and stormy on our way down the beach but the seas weren t rough and the thunderstorms we witnessed were just freakin spectacular i never get tired of seeing a show of lightning that streaks light across miles of sky for as far as the eye can see on a horizon that is impossibly far away the sky just seemed incredibly huge as we sailed down the coast the atmosphere was clear enough that we could see stars above the thunderheads 40 miles away with bolts of lightning weaving and darting through massive formations we had a lightning show every night from port everglades to baltimore awesome i wish i had a proper camera to have taken pictures of what we were seeing at night cape canaveral 25nm to the west miles and miles overall a voyage of nearly 2200 miles delivering to two ports along the way first stop was port everglades then on to baltimore to complete the delivery of our cargo a round trip of 2200 nautical miles roughly 2500 statute miles about nine days underway time plugging away at an average of 10 knots 11 5 mph it went from balmy temps to hot and steamy to raw and chilly in the span of a few days standing the watch cape canaveral to the west blue as can be we sailed 14 degrees of latitude south and 7 or so degrees of longitude west and back again we rode home on the eddies of the gulf stream in the bluest water you could imagine think of a brand new pair of dark blue denim jeans that color we covered the coast from sandy hook to port everglades then back up to and through the entire length of chesapeake bay c d canal delaware bay and then up the jersey coast to staten island where we now sit loading our next job for providence rhode island we sure do get around we were incommunicado for most of the trip due to our distance offshore our sat phone and sat comm systems reserved for company communications were our only regular contact with shore side for a good deal of our trip but lacking cell phone service and of course internet was a pleasant respite from the always connected way of life it gets quieter nice the points along the trip that have fringe coverage near hatteras and canaveral allow for a quick call home if you catch the right tower at just the right time but mostly it s a no service situation until you ve closed on the beach near jupiter inlet or palm beach southbound and chesapeake entrance northbound new york city from sea a beautiful trip but a rare one as well one doesn t generally get a round trip past hatteras with near flat seas both ways i m sure we ll pay the piper somewhere down the line of that i am certain share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook print opens in new window print email

september 11th 2011 i didn t tune in for the network memorials to drag my soul through it all over again it s enough to have lived that day once i mourn the losses my friends and neighbors suffered and the harm it has done to my own family i am pissed that we ve spent so much of our time and a trillion or more dollars so many thousands of miles from our shores chasing human garbage i am saddened by the losses our armed forces and their families continue to suffer in the name of national security i honor their sacrifices i can t thank them enough i remember when the towers were nearly complete i watched from my hometown on raritan bay as they reached their apex they were readily apparent on the horizon later on as a young deckhand i helped deliver the construction materials that would become battery park city i clearly remember the vista the observation deck afforded me my wife and my young daughter that evening in october 1984 when it was so clear at dusk you could almost see forever the city scape looked like a gilded scale model i was part of the statue of liberty 100th anniversary celebration in 1987 and had the duty of towing one of the many firework barges the grucci family had set up for an unbelieveable show i m spoiled on fireworks forever i remember how during the show the reports from the shells echoed in and around the towers as we held station at the foot of the south tower i remember where i was when the unimaginable occurred my where was i story isn t worth telling compared to so many others i m still in awe of how the new york maritime community was able to evacuate more than 500 000 people in about nine hours from lower manhattan it s amazing how so many people were taken to safety in such a short time during ww2 the dunkirk boat lift took nine days to move over 338 000 troops from the coast of france no i didn t need to watch it happen again i haven t forgotten share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook print opens in new

captbbrucato i recently received word from a former ab deckhand of mine that he is now the newest captain in our fleet he used the above header in a thank you note for my pushing him to go for his license the kick in the ass as the phrase is coined is the advice given someone with recognized talent to do what s necessary to move up off the deck and into the pilothouse all of us no matter how long we ve been in the industry have been given mostly unsolicited advice on how we should either advance or abandon our ambitions some folks are suited for the work a tugboat demands and some are better off staying ashore and getting into the regular nine to five lifestyle for those who adapt and excel at the job it s not unusual for the older men to start encouraging cajoling or insisting the deckhands with obvious talent go for their license i was subject to this kick in the ass and have kicked a few myself some guys procrastinate while others take the bull by the horns and get it done the motivation for advancing is usually monetary why work on a boat and not make the most money you can you re here anyway you might as well pull down the big bucks i d like to think it s more than the motivation of what collecting a few more benjamins brings i d hope it s also the sense of accomplishment that follows a determined effort to advance one s career after hearing it enough he did he studied passed practiced and excelled i had no doubt that he would he s one of those people who get s it after having him as my senior deckhand for so long i was glad to see him move on to bigger and better i didn t want to lose him as my senior guy on deck but you gotta let em go he put in his time as a tug mate on various tugs and was recommended for promotion by no less than three tug masters i have to say that i ve taken a good deal of pride in the fact that i was part of his process i have no doubt he ll be kicking some ass of his own congratulations mike to quote michael stipe of r e m

how well most of the metropolitan area o e m s had things under control well as much control as you can have in a hurricane the unprecedented shutdown of mass transit in nyc and the evacuations initiated in anticipation of this storm were well executed and laudable so many times our elected officials are caught flat footed when mother nature inflicts her wrath thankfully we had the time to prepare and make amends for past mistakes we re extremely fortunate that the storm was downgrading as it reached the tri state area a lot of low lying areas suffered dramatic flooding and wind damage but our little anchorage was relatively quiet except for a couple of dragging anchors and a couple of close quarter situations when one vessel would swing into the circle of another the first indications of clearing began late in the afternoon and progressed to the point where we could get moving again after a long 4 days of waiting this video is just a small sample of how it looks to us as the anchor comes up into the hawse and we turn southbound for our discharge port some folks suffered little to no effect while others lost everything the season for crazy weather is far from over hopefully this will be the worst we see this year i m just glad to be moving and grateful to see another day share this share on f...
