@@johnm5714 seems like boat graffiti. A boat card may be a better choice and can be shared more selectively.

Sounds like another adventure in boat ownership. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

@@ScottTOFM thx for the support. We are a good team as we have walked in each other’s deck shoes. 👍🏼

@@AutsTechnology thanks for watching this oldie but goodie.

NOT sure but he may have emailed his order in and took his time docking so when he walked up to the restaurant his order was waiting for him. OR maybe he was just taking his time?

Good morning. just trimmed the banana tress so the crop will get more sunlight. Waiting on afternoon irrigation (rain) to come in from the SW.

@@LawrenceBroussard that’s the goal.

@@TheRoostersGarage is t it great when a plan comes together?

@@theroofguy625 I have, many times. Our point in posting was to recognize a beautiful docking. Skill and talent.

Be careful of the bridge in North Miami on the ICW. It is correctly marked on charts as 56 feet and it really is 56 feet. It is NOT a typo.

And we hope the weather will; be good again. Two RV events coming up, Rogersville and in January Punta Gorda, FL. 28 - 30 January 2025 Looper-palooza Mark your calendar for the AGLCA 2025 Looper-palooza!

Secret hide away in Northern AL on the TN river.

Yep, 2024 October 21-24, check their web page here - www.greatloop.org/events/fall-rendezvous-2024.html

Appreciate it

Thanks for the support.

@@walterdavis4808 nope. Cant take credit. Gotta give kudos where it’s due.

I know but I believe all the action is on the stern where they catch the BIG FISH.

@@AskCaptainChris yes sir-I’d still prefer to rig a big Viking with a Bow Rail.Some don’t like the esthetic-but I do and having that to hold on to when it gets snotty out there wins out. Not like I’ll ever have that problem😆 Going down to Atlantic City for the week-I’ll get down to Absecon inlet and have a look around…I’m sure a few of those big Sportys will be going out Tuna Fishing at this time of year.

This was in Georgetown, SC on an oxbow lake with no current or wave action. He later added fenders that were secured to the dock because there are not that many cleats in the mid ship section of this boat. He made it look easy!

@@AskCaptainChristhat’s the job of a good skipper, make it look effortless. Because in the 90 second operation he is “in front” of the manoeuvre, not “chasing it”. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

​@PhilbyFavourites I love that. He's in front of the maneuver, not chasing it. Going to use that in my next class of teaching. I have used, "Be ahead of the boat not behind it." Have a great day!

Glad it was helpful…thx for watching.

Good coaching, that's what we do, train new boat owners!

@@AskCaptainChris good, AND PATIENT, coaching. I’ve learned a lot watching you over the years and have docked boats of various propulsion systems for over a decade. My best learning experience was docking a single screw boat in the flowing Columbia river. Wish I would have used your services back then! Thanks for your videos, Cap.

@@acousticmikeb8119we have lots of training videos if you know a new boater who could use some help. www.captainchrisyachtservices.com/education/

We have plenty of docking videos so keep an eye out for the next one!

In fact look at PLAYLIST - DOCKING there should be over 200 there non stop.

Great helmsman work too!

You know what Elvis said, Thank You, Thank You very much!

Oh well.

And, the sludge may get sucked into the fuel line and plug the Racor!

Embarrassing, never run out of fuel. Lie and say the engine quit! Then get towed to the fuel dock, DUH!

Saved a autocar truck one time they said the engine was shot . I bled out the fuel system... Still running every day

@@walterdavis4808 I know the old Detroit diesels are very hard to get restarted. I had to pressurize the fuel tank every time. I had a 6V92

And then it started, bucked and knocked and banged until it ran on all the cylinders until it cleared all the air out.

@@walterdavis4808 Should have made a deal, give you the ruined truck for free, tow it home and fix it then put back on the road. Did they thank you?

You can download that from the internet ?? I guess ??

Sunrise, we were looking east right at you.

@@AskCaptainChrisraining over here too yesterday. Out again in the trusty trawler on Saturday, meant to be sunny and light winds. A local hidden sandbar beckons 👍🏻👍🏻

Great, that hurricane is going east and not bother us at all! Hoping our Bermuda friends are gonna be ok too.

Off subject , do most boats have sea chests ? I guess it minimizes thru hull fittings?

@@edwardc.3710 actually no. Most pleasure boats under 65 ft do NOT have sea chests. But most DeFever 44-49 and Marlowe yachts do have a sea chest. The through hulls are still the same number but now they are all drilled into the sea chest- one location.

@@ChristianKaloyerakis and it works.

Me too. That is the former International Harvester manufacturing facility. Been there done that!

Yup 3208-375hp. Love those Cats.

I got a 3208 in the dump truck at the farm. Great little engines

knock knock rattle and more rattle, that's what diesels do!

Back atcha. Hope your week is wunnerful.

@@AskCaptainChris be on the boat this week ,. Life is looking better

Keep the cooling water flowing.

Great food, crawfish, crabs, oysters, alligators and more!

The birthplace of Boudreaux and Thibodaux! Mais oui!

@@charlesdavenport2543 I know a lot of those jokes, I used to live in St Rose, Golden Meadow, Cut Off, Kenner and New Orleans.

Hello from Vero Beach, FL. Thanks for the support!

Never know when you'll need it so get one before you need it!
