It’s time to take Happy Ours, our 2006 341 Meridian to the boatyard for some much needed bottom work. We are heading up the Caloosahatchee River from Cape Coral Florida to Morehaven’s Glades Boatyard where we plan to spend the week scraping barnacle, sanding the hull and painting the bottom with anti fouling paint to hopefully keep the boat clean and performing at its best. I’m running the boat solo and going through the Franklin and Ortona locks will certainly be a challenge! So stick around!

Living the dream. Very interesting video. So why were those "dolphins" so tall for that remote area near the boat ramp?
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
Dolphins are typically used by large barges and tugs, but recreational boats can use them on a secondary basis.

Guys, I just stumbled on your channel, and want you to know i love it. I'm actually watching your icw trip from New York to Florida and then I'll get back into all your other videos. I'm a southern California old timer and I am so interested in the differences between boating in coastal southern California vs the east coast that I see here. It's fascinating. Your channel is really well done and super fun to watch. This is gonna divert my attention away from the south pacific sailing channels for sure. I am curious about fuel burn though. You're getting phenomenal burn rates. I have same motors in a lighter boat and have had numerous other boats with 454s. How in the heck are you getting miles per gallon vs gallons per mile.? I've never gotten better than 1.2 gallons per mile and if I got 1/1, it would be a miracle. Looking forward to binging your entire library.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
Thanks for following us! When you see the final ICW trip recap video, I talk about our spreadsheet and how we calculate the data. MPG is just miles traveled divided by gallons fuel used. It’s a better indication of fuel economy. I use a spreadsheet formula to figure that out for us.
@captron89able
@captron89able 3 месяца назад
Do you have fuel flow meters?
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
@captron89able I’m able to see gph for each motor off the gauges and also total fuel used.

If we don’t need a dinghy, we leave it at home. Especially on this trip as it would get in the way while working on the boat.

Very likely they will stay right where they are now at my dock. I didn’t have this dock in the last hurricane and this one is much more robust. I won’t expect it to float away from this new dock.

@joemagarelli1356 3 месяца назад
Stupid question, I’m considering moving down to FL. Can you just jump off your boat and swim in those water ways or will you get attacked by an alligator or snakes. I see in the Miami marina there are crocs. Up north we don’t really have to worry about those issues. Maybe the occasional shark nibble.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs 3 месяца назад
There are alligators in the rivers as you get further from the gulf. They don’t like salt water much. You’ll actually see one in our next video as we travel to Ortona lock.
