I just picked up the exact same boat. It needs a lot of work, but I’m ready to go. my stern cabin is a little different. Just has one full size bed on the Starbucks side. Looking forward to seeing more videos. I’ll be starting a KZbin channel myself. Just because there’s not enough information out there on how to repair these boats. Have a great journey on it. ✌️

Like the puzzle, but was more interested in the Pac-Man machine. In early 80s, if you got through the 1st 3 rounds, there was a path pattern that let you play for about half an hour without getting eaten and then you'd have to try to find another path. They were losing money w people playing so long so they changed the program so the path didn't work anymore. Think people quit playing and eventually they took the machine out of the college bar.

Watching a father/son take a boat from the Rideau canal I guess to Florida. Have finished videos yet. Everyone posts at different times, but NICKY D was on the canals w them. Their post was 5 months ago. Big grey vessel and NICKY D wasn't a decal, but big raised letters. Just wondering if that was same boat that waked you. They didn't appear to be happy about having to lock behind the boat I'm watching. Not sure since there's speed limits on the canals. Maybe wanting to run full out on Oneida? Not even sure that's where they pasted them. Jerks.

Hey hello, did you have yo request permission for flying your drone?
@gothatawaychrisandsandra4 ай бұрын
No we didn't. Did we need to? I didn't think so. Our unit falls under the weight minimum to require it to be licenced. It was a state park here though, that didn't occur to us to ask about it there. National parks in Canada restrict their usage. So if we flew it and we weren't supposed to...oops. We learn as we go and tend not to fly it in busy areas. The drone itself has software that won't let it fly if we are near restricted areas like airports. We haven't flown it in quite a while.

Don't remember, but think you got a new engine in subsequent video. Found out a few years ago, Evinrude and Johnsons don't like to idle in gear. Not sure all the issues you were having, but popping into neutral when slowing down may have alleviated some of that. Which is poor design if you need to idle into a place. And yes, I'm binge watching these older videos this weekend.

Watching these older videos has been enlightening. Think the 1st one of yours I saw was either on the Mississippi or Lake Barkley. I seemed you were riding Chris pretty hard (trouble w the marriage savers) and I thought I couldn't live like that. Think you explained what was going on in later video. But boat reno showed how well the 2 of you work together. Guess there's a learning curve for people that you allow to have a peek into all parts of your life

I notice you use a tool, take the battery out and then put it back in. Don't know how long between uses, but doesn't seem like more than a couple minutes. Does that make the charge last longer? Just curious. Store some of mine w the battery still in. Mainly leaf blower, but some times drill
@gothatawaychrisandsandra6 ай бұрын
We don't always stay ahead of the charges. We might put a battery in that only has a few minutes left. You might be seeing that. Generally a batter will last 10 consecutive minutes running the wet/dry vac or even the heat gun, which we think it pretty good. Of course the drill in a few seconds at a time so that would last quite a long time.

There is very little agriculture in the Bahamas. Don't feel bad about not supporting the local economy. In the smaller islands groceries come on the mail boat once a week, and may be 2 weeks old depending on the route of the boat. If you are staying a while in the Abacos, make friends with the store manager and reserve what he/she recommends. Marsh Harbor is the exception with a big store (Maxwell's) with frequent supplies. Special treat-- try local bread. Most"bakeries" are the kitchen window of a house with a sign.
