We finally get to cast off our lines and start our journey with our 341 Meridian motor yacht on the Florida mini loop from Cape Coral to the Florida Keys.
After waiting out severe weather and rain, the crew of Happy Ours head out on the trip of a lifetime. We still get soaked but make the best of our boat trip up the Caloosahatchee River, past Fort Myers with all its destroyed marinas from Hurricane Ian and through the Franklin Lock, where we plan to anchor overnight on the hook in a nice protected anchorage.

Nice video, as always. Some advice though, at 4:00 you mention keeping the starboard engine off. You’re burning up the graphite face of the starboard PSS, even at steerage speed, because the starboard engine isn’t feeding it water. However, if you cross plumbed the PSS’, then kudos to you and disregard.

PSs seals specifically say at slow speeds it isn’t necessary to feed the seal water. Sailboats do this all the time when under sail.

I have two comments. First is I am so jealous of you guys for getting to do this. This looks like an incredible trip and I am going to follow you the whole way. Second is a question. Why are you going across the state first then having to go against the gulf stream heading south and around Florida. Wouldn't it have been better heading south on the west coast of Florida and then North on the east coast because you would be going with the gulf stream rather than against it?
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
Gulf Stream is negligible close to shore as we travel. We were excited to do the east coast first anyway.

How does one raised in the Midwest with no ocean/ICW experience get to the point of operating a vessel such as yours? I’ve used boats on lakes but that’s it. Appreciate any advice. Thanks for the video.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
I started small and worked my way up. If you boated on a large lake and in windy conditions, making the transition to the ICW isn’t much different.

Have you actually calculated the fuel savings using one engine when travelling at slower trawler speeds?
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
Yes. It varies with speed but It is at least 1 gallon/hour better at 6mph with one engine than running two at same speed. I’ll do a more in depth video on it soon.

Interesting to see how the 341 does on the trip and follow along. We had a 341, now have a 391 and thinking about doing the same loop, starting in Clearwater though. Did you have a reason for going clockwise? I thought counter clockwise would be the best because the gulf stream would be at you back in the keys going north.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
Very little Gulf Stream affects so close to shore. Plus it’s more fun leaving the best for last. 😁
@AdventuresofHappyOurs

I really wish we had a diesel 391. The 341 is just too underpowered We’ve relegated our 341 to trawler speed trips.

I assume you found some confirmation that the 341's are good to go on running only one engine? I do not remember you trying this on your way down to Florida? It seems like it really helps, typically even at 6-7mph the best mine will do is 1mpg (running both engines)
