Be sure to check out my favorite from last year:
"Why
Towboats Should be Treated Like Mules!"
This article was inspired by a breakfast with
a long-time towboat captain from Pittsburgh,
PA, who has seen the interaction between towboats
and recreational boaters first hand for many
years. |

Eric
grew up around boats, and traded summers on board
his parents' Sea Rays for many man-hours of swabbing
the decks. He grew up in the little town of Sewickley,
Pennsylvania, home of the the Dashields Locks
and Dam and the USCG Cutter Osage. His family
would frequently navigate the Ohio, Allegheny
and Beaver Rivers, later moving the family cruiser
to Lake Erie.
As a commercial pilot, Eric
is currently qualified as a Certified Flight
Instructor and flies wide-body jets for a major
airline. He has owned recreational boats ranging
from PWCs to ski boats, day cruisers, and most
recently, a flybridge convertible that he keeps
in a local marina.
Eric is a USCG Licensed Master
with a Commerical Tow Assistance rating. Eric
conceived the idea for this website while searching
for information to help him become a safer and
more knowledgable local boater. |
