10:35 Wilfred Sykes has a master salute and Nautica Queen respond to her back

UBER EXCITED

He was my relief captain on the TDA 20 odd years ago. Good man

Great Video! Nice Job Jim!

Thank you for filming this!!! I was at the picnic table next to the grill you filmed in this video

Seeing the total solar eclipse was so amazing, it was epic and remarkable! 🤩😍🌘🌑

Great Blazing Paddles documentary!

Enjoyed 😊

1:05 The honking starts!

Suprised he isnt blasting inappropriate music.

Hi Cap I was one of many that built the Masbi Miner

I just saw my boss Mike Grano, he's a very awesome guy and I love him so much! 😇🙏🏽❤

I had to miss last year that would have been my first, but was able to make this year event with some friends of mine, and we had the most AWESOME day! My one friend was interviewed, "THE PIRATE>>ARR" lol, Ed, and watching that take place and just all the other activities before and during and at the end, the only sad thing I can say took place, was the color and debre of the river. But Hey! It's nature. I'm just thankful I could experience this event, and at age 63, and some health problems, I pray there will be more of the same in my future. Thanks Cleveland and the Cuyahoga River crews and participants. Paddle on...🛶

What a great little tribute to this FANTASTIC, growing annual tradition!!

I'll say is that what kinda person who stands so close while the lift bridge is lowering down, I wouldn't do that because it's too dangerous so all I do is stand behind the crossing gate for my safety. I gotta follow the rules everyone has to follow the rules when they stop at a lift bridge that is about to rise up to let the big freighter ship come through. It'll be just like when you're stopping at a railroad crossing I will definitely have to follow the safety rules when I stopped at that crossing, people have to follow the safety rules on that too because I already know that there's just too much accidents at a railroad crossing when there's a car just end up getting hit by a train because some people didn't want to follow the safety rules or doesn't care much about it.

watch out for booby big wheels , on lakes or rivers, he owns the water, a dork

When you have more money than brains!

I don't believe the 5 horn blasts were for the searay. It is common for large vessels to sound 5 horns when reversing in tight confines, when leaving a berth and when approaching a rail bridge.

Maybe you're a landlubber...who can't stand criticism...It's called a ship's whistle

Pity about your failure to win a Reverse Darwin Award, Sea Ray - better luck next time! (and I'm damn sure you WILL have a 'next time' . . . )

5 short = unsure of your intentions

Personally Im good with the floating human excrement. The Cuyahoga is as repugnant as the Hudson in even more repulsive NYC

Big money means big inconsideration

I bet money he had no clue what the 5 blasts meant!

Sea Ray is freaking sexy ass boat. 😍

Lots of money, No skills = No Brains

Nonsense. There’s nothing going on here apart from a poster who knows how to generate clicks.

WHAT a pair of MORONS both the "skippers of the yacht and the motor cruiser are. First the motor cruiser gets WAY too close to the freighter, then does a 180 degree turn. NOT smart, something goes wrong, you are crushed like a bug. Second the yacht. Obviously planning to moor alongside, but where were the prepared mooring lines? The guy with the aft lines is last seen holding a length of blue spaghetti, not even ready to be passed to the guy waiting to receive the lines. That line should have been broken out several minutes before, coiled into two distinct coils, ready for either passing or throwing. (Passing being preferable, to prevent rope going in the water with the dangers of getting it wrapped round the prop. Bunch of incompetent monkeys, certainly NOT sailors.

All the captains and their crew’s do a great job maneuvering their ships either through a narrow river or coming in off the huge Great Lakes. Coming in towards the docks to load or unload is so fascinating to watch. I’m grateful to get to see them on the live cams or in person.

I don’t care if that captain messed up or didn’t. If I seen that freighter coming in through a narrow river like that I would move away from it. You never know when the bow or stern thrusters are going to kick in. You never know when something can go wrong. She’s too huge to mess with. I definitely know enough to respect something that huge . I’m always amazed on how the captains of those huge freighters can maneuver them through narrow spaces like that. I’m glad no one got hurt.

I need to upgrade my train horn on my truck to a ship horn. .. . That was great!!!!

Regardless the size of a vessel - from a rowboat to a large merchant ship, if you do not follow the Colregs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, aka 'rules of the road'), you will be held accountable for your actions and results thereof, before the courts. A case in point that all small craft, including sailboats, should always keep in mind, is Rule 9 - Narrow Channels, in particular sections 'a' and 'b' - "a vessel < 20 metres in length shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway". Also Rule 18 - Responsibilities between Vessels; in sections 'a', 'b' & 'c', it is stated "a vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre". Clearly, the large pleasure craft just off the port side of the "American Courage" was in contravention of said rules. He should have been charged and fined by the USCG.

What a douche he could have waited one minute but would rather scrape the Barnacles off his transom on some big cargo ship

22 year boater, I don't see what the infraction of the Sea Ray was. He was abeam of the freighter, and executed a turn while still abeam of the freighter. Maybe during the turn he came closer to the freighter than he was while parallel, but should have posed no greater threat of collision while turning than he did while going forward. Like another commentor stated, it is not obvious that the horn blasts were directed at the Sea Ray.

Arrogant idiots are such arses.

Sea Rays are the Dodge trucks of the water

What makes you think that the same American idiots who do not know how to drive on land are proficient @ operating a Vessel on the water?

I don't see what the big deal is. The operator of the white boat performed a flawless manoeuvre and is clearly skilled. It ain't like he risked damaging the ship.

I'm a navigation noob. What's the faux pas here?

What was the idiot in the sail boat doing? Kept squeezing the other guy. It’s like watching someone drive around looking for a parking spot in the Mall.

I don’t know why he blasted him.. looks like he handled it like a champ.

Not the only incident this ship has been involved with in the last few days😆czcams.com/video/SQYREqdvz68/video.htmlsi=ICJwV41yqQubty2U

I doubt @hole even noticed.

In the UK the guy would get a visit and fine from the harbour authority.

How do these foolish captains get their license??

A few of the commenters here have a serious case of class envy... holy cow keyboard warriors

... when a vessel that size is telling you the situation is dangerous, you should probably pay attention. Here's a hint, skippy: if it outweighs you by that many orders of magnitude, NOBODY cares how much you paid for your hardtop... you can still get cut in half and it'll be your fault.

Another clown trying to show off his money in front of everyone in the Flats. What a dumb guy!
