Video explaining what a harbor Pilot is in Tampa Bay https://t.co/gQpcS8xX6P

@ohaeri_divine Yes, it is

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

A tragic accident happened on Monday night (1/12/26). Captain Phillip Brady III a Florida Harbor Pilot slipped off a pilot ladder while disembarking a ship that was leaving Panama City FL. He passed away due to his injuries. Keep him and his family in your prayers.

@charlesbonnerjr @Mangan150 As the great Gundy used to say “immediately if not sooner”

@PaulFox13 I can tell you all about cargo and cruise ships and fog on Tampa Bay😄

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@charlesbonnerjr Praying for you buddy!

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@FentriceForFL Thanks for coming out!

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@tropicalupdate Hey Mike I tried to email you a couple times about harbor pilots in Tampa, I see yall are doing the cruise this year out of Tampa DM me we may be able to get you up to the bridge to see how we navigate ships in and out of the Bay

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@PaulFox13 I can tell you it was windy with very heavy rain

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@Themaritimepil2 Needed a stronger astern bell earlier in the maneuver, seems like they maybe have come in a little hot but not unmanageable

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@mercoglianos Classic mistake, needed a much stronger astern bell when turning to hold position, see training pilots make the same mistake plenty

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@Rainmaker1973 I promise you that door closes, second half of the video is pretty accurate

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@tropicalupdate I have noticed this, not only rides but currents in the bay have been running off predictions

@FrogNews I recognize that port and vessel behind him lol, brought it down to manatee yesterday, some crazy cross current from all the fresh water draining out of the rivers into the bay. Pier Manatee had a lot of damage glad to see they are getting some funds quick, great port down there!

[Brett Baker 🇺🇸 @harborpilotFL]

@mercoglianos @PortTampaBay @NOAA @USCG NOAA, USCG, ACOE, Port Tampa Bay, Seaport Manatee, oil terminal operators all did an amazing job. USCG, NOAA and ACOE worked around to clock to get channels surveyed unsung heros of the recovery!
