nlooking to fininsh up please e mail me thanks jeff k captjeffkk aol com on june 13 2011 at 06 36 reply captbbrucato jeff thanks for asking but unless you re an employee in the outfit i m with i m unavailable for signing candidates off on their toar i don t have a tug and barge at my disposal if you worked here and were assigned to my boat i could and would sign you off if you met and demonstrated the skills to my satisfaction as required in the toar wish i could have been more help what s preventing you from finishing the toar at your present job on june 7 2012 at 15 52 reply john totty sr capt john t 6 7 2012 hi capt brucato hope you re enjoying 14 days off i currently hold 100 ton masters license and in the process of upgrading to 200 ton looking to go from private and charter boats to comercial vessels but without towing endorcement nobody wants to talk to me any suggestions on best place to start would be greatly appreciated i have been reading your site for about a year now keep up the good work on june 12 2012 at 11 36 reply captbbrucato john thanks i am fyi in order to break into the business most candidates had to know someone who could get them in the door but that is no longer necessary the days of father son type hiring are waning and anyone with the desire can get the job but it takes a good bit of determination and a thick skin you need to start by knocking on doors and putting yourself out there in order for any tugboat outfit to consider you unions play a large part in the process but presently in ny the primary union umd333 is in receivership due to issues too numerous to mention this however presents hopefuls with a golden opportunity for getting a job you ll still need to join the union but if you get hired you get 30 days on the job before you need to put up your initiation fee before you get yourself signed off you ll need to prove yourself on deck it takes time think 18 months or so to become a proper and fully qualified deckhand and that depends on whether you get on a tug that does more than just ship assist work after you ve met that mark you need to put in the time haunting the pilothouse and making it known that you wish to train no one is going to grab you by the scruff of your neck and drag you up the helm you need to show up and do it often getting signed off means you ve performed the skills required in front of a designated examiner who attests to your being competent you aren t going to be expected to be an expert you can t achieve that skill level in such a short time what you can and must do is prove that you have the sense feel and guts to do the job safely without hurting your crew boat or anything else it s an apprenticeship that sets you up with the critical skills and thought process on how to approach the jobs you re assigned with a clear head and steady hand good luck on may 22 2015 at 01 55 reply john totty good morning capt it s been three years since seeking your advice i got a job with a construction co started as deck hand then on to engineer also running crew boats and rule beater tugs along the way made it to 200 ton master with mate pilot of towing vessels and 38 days to make master of towing vessels this morning i find myself hanging on a mourning ball trying to hide from mother nature it s blowing 30 ne pushing 2 barges out front and another tug on my hip and no towing winche this is the safest place to be it s been a long 3 years when it s blowing like this you quickly realize there s no substitute for experience today i was lucky to have it i hope time has been good to you be safe and thank you on may 22 2015 at 06 30 captbbrucato john it s a pleasure to hear from you i m glad you found your path and i hope you enjoy your career as much as i have and do best regards bill brucato on june 27 2012 at 20 13 reply edl capt brucato a few years ago i remember reading an article titled the curse of the recreational boater i thought it was you but i didn t

i recently turned 31 and have no desire to be anywhere but the sea i love the ny harbor i miss the boats anything would help thank you for your time skip i hope you have a safe trip on october 8 2012 at 04 48 reply captbbrucato stephen i wish i had the answer you need i can only suggest that you keep trying with the local ny outfits i m assuming you have the necessary documents twic mmc so at least you have one less hurdle to clear local 333 has bitten the poison apple and looks to be a non issue as far as standing between a hopeful candidate and the local outfits try kirby nee k sea mcallister poling and so on until you find someone who s willing to give you a shot all i can say is to keep on banging on doors entry level is a tough spot to get but it s not going to be handed to you on october 13 2012 at 11 58 reply jen dear capt brucato my name is jen and i am a reporter at columbia journalism school i am doing a photo essay about the tugboat industry and was wondering if it would be possible to spend some time with you or someone else aboard a tugboat thank you very much in advance for your assistance best jen on october 13 2012 at 19 44 reply captbbrucato jen i have sent you an email on october 14 2012 at 06 59 reply capt mike capt brucato i just installed a class b ais transponder on my 30 foot monohull sailboat this summer it seemed like a good idea as i sail long island sound and through new york harbor on occasion i was wondering how you professional mariners feel about recreational boats like mine having ais transponders on october 14 2012 at 08 09 reply captbbrucato mike my opinion is the more visible you are to us the better we can communicate and avoid dangerous situations from developing in case you weren t aware many of us are equipped to plot any radar target on a r p a automatic radar plotting aid a very fancy radar but if your target doesn t show up guess what we don t see you in rain fog heavy weather or snow that s a real problem if we can t see your lights but with this same a r p a i also can plot your ais target which comes through when you re in range even without your radar target i can identify you as a class b at a much safer distance and since you have ais i can reasonably expect you re monitoring channel 16 i can raise you if i feel we re about to get up close and personal it s a good idea you re safer and so am i you can see me on your display and i can plot you on mine it s all good on october 14 2012 at 09 54 reply capt mike capt brucato thanks for the reply i installed the unit a few weeks ago but unfortunately my harbor does not have any ais receive coverage so i have not been able to tell if the transponder is working yet from any ais internet sites i am picking up traffic on the receive side though hope to do some sea trails on the li sound ny harbor later this week and see what kind of range my unit has i usually monitor 16 13 when underway it will be nice to be able have a name and be able to contact the tug behind the bow of that barge that would occasionally surprise me personally i never liked surprises like that i m hoping with the ais transponder they won t occur ever again for either of us on january 18 2013 at 12 06 reply mathias dubilier capt brucato i am writing a book written mostly for sailors and want to include some statistics on how tricky hell gate is so that it is not underestimated in passage planning i can t find any sites that give accident or incident stats i ve check the uscg iir site and found nothing there since it has to be a pretty bad incident to show up there what would an accurate estimate of incidents must certainly be dozens of recreational boating incidents every year hundreds any idea thanks mat on january 19 2013 at 18 22 reply captbbrucato mat i can t answer your question regarding the frequency or magnitude of incidents occurring within the recreational community i know of the few that involve professional mariners vs recreational vessels but i wouldn t be all that informative beyond what is generally published by the ntsb or uscg i can comment on how the gate is utilized and transited by large commercial vessels and the problem posed when the recreational community gets tangled up with the professional mariner i have a specific post regarding the gate here i hope this helps if you need specific detail on approaching and maneuvering in the waterway i think this will help foster a better understanding of what boaters face both pros and recreational folks as well on august 26 2013 at 22 56 reply the six
