Today TowBoat US Cape May was contacted by the NJ state police to perform a welfare check on a vessel in Cape May Harbor.

We were very happy to assist on this beautiful Saturday.

Last night we were called for a 41' albemarle that ran aground. After freeing the vessel, the Captain headed released TowBoat US Cape May and headed out the inlet.

About 40 minutes later, we recieved a call from the same vessel. They lost all steering control. We quickly responded offshore and towed the vessel to safety.

Today's adventure. 38' houseboat decided it liked the water more on the inside.

As we never like to see a vessel sinking, I'm happy the owner trusted us to help rectify the situation.

8000 pounds of lift bags and multiple pumps did the job.

We move all kinds of vessels. House boats, sportfishers, skiffs, boat lifts, barges, dredge pipes, ect...

Here's a house boat going into the slip for the season.

Enjoy!

Yesterday a large vessel didn't slow down as we were performing a salvage operation almost injuring our diver.
Please slow down peoples lives are at stake.

The New Jersey State Police Marine Services Bureau reminds all boaters of New Jersey’s “Slow Speed/No Wake” rules:

• Title 13:82 1.7 – Speed – No person shall operate a vessel where its speed and/or wake may cause danger or injury to life or limb, or damage to property.

• Title 12:7 45 – Speed of Power Vessels – The speed of power vessels shall at all times be regulated to avoid danger or injury to any craft (floating, moored, anchored, or underway) or to piers, wharfs, bulkheads, draw spans, or other waterfront construction, either directly or by the effect of the wash or wave raised by such vessel.

Reduce speed to slow speed/no wake when passing:

• Any marina, pier, dock, wharf, or abutment within 200 ft (except on Lake Hopatcong, per N.J.A.C. 13:82 3.11)
• Work barges, platforms, or floats actually engaged in work related activity
• Bridge openings of 400 ft or less
• Lagoons, canals, or confined areas less than 200 ft wide
• Vessels not under command
• Emergency vessels displaying sequential flashing or rotating blue lights
• Vessels engaged in Coast Guard recognized activities displaying rotating or sequential flashing red and yellow lights.

Slow down, be respectful — keep our waters safe!

Yesterday Capt. Kevin Picked up a vessel near Avalon and towed to Sea Isle City boat ramp.

On the return trip he successfully assisted a 35' Albemarle who ran aground(unfortunately the gopro died and I didn't get any footage). Both members were happy to have a membership as it cost them $0 for the service today.

A quick parts delivery this afternoon. A vessel contacted me asking to pick up and deliver fuel pump as they were passing Cape May.
My answer as always, "I can do that."

They called into Utch's marina paid for the fuel pump. I picked it up and met them just south of Cape May Inlet. Safely transferred the pump and we both went our separate ways.

Another happy customer.
