Is that a montauk 17?

My man. Now you got me thinking. I need to do this and only in a BW.

How many hours were on the motor by the time you finished?

Definitely flummoxed - but impressed - with the free spirited abandon with which you load your ship and proceed with the absolute bare minimum. I would definitely recommend a budget full-face motorcycle helmet for those cold mornings and for the spray and the wind & engine noise. A Bell Mag 9 has 2 visors with one being tinted…..it would dramatically protect your hearing, and dramatically shield you from the cold, spray and fatigue. I think it would be a game changer with this kind of boat on this kind of journey. Of course you would only use it in the cold, rain, chop….truly would revolutionize your fatigue and enjoyment…..don’t need it for the crash capability.

And here I am wondering if I can take a 170 Montauk 23 miles to Catalina Island from Long Beach…..after watching your journey, I am ashamed 😂

I wish I knew how you train your mind and psyche to enjoy rather than worry about engine or mechanical failure…..very impressive. I have ridden Harley’s across the country, solo, 4 times and I still have not learned how to let go of the fear of system failure! 😊😂

That water is incredible…..come on man, you green screened us and did computer graphic water 😂😂😂😂

I love it!!!

Miss your videos! 😊

Great videos. As an owner of a 69 nauset im curious about you forward fuel tank setup. Is it a 22gal? I noticed you put a board on top could it double as a seat? Can you share any more detailed pics you might have of that setup? Thanks

That's awesome congratulations !!

Welcome back.

Been wondering about you. Thanks for sharing the video. Interesting angles😂

Finding this years later but man, what an epic trip! Nice Whaler! Nice GX too! I grew up on the shoreline in CT

Love this video, Thanks! I learned to sail in a 10 ft Rooster class wooden boat in many of these areas. I agree with you, fun times! Except when I launched my car on the Washington St ramp. Parking gear failed. Served two years 68-69 on the DE1040 pier two. Discharged from Boston 1969, 4 years Purdue getting my BSEE. Naval Underwater Systems center Newport for 10 years. My twins were born in the Newport Hospital. Anyway enough of me, I researched the small island near the war college. Came up with this from Google Earth. It is Gull Island and is listed as a lighthouse at one time. I screen captured a map with the info but I don't know how to attach it to this comment. If you want, I can email it to you or you can look at Google Earth. Thanks!

Great Video! You covered are stomping grounds. We are out of Mystic Connecticut.

Im a sailor and i could appreciate the scope of your adventure. Keep on sailing. I think the whaler gave you a great perspective to be closer to the water and with the elements. Up here in the great lales people fashion spray hoods for the bows to keep the cold water out. The costs were not astronomical. If you were 20 yeara old, you probably wpuld have camped moat nights.

Looks like a great gig. I miss the Old Salt videos though. I could relate to them as a classic Whaler owner. The new boat is another world.

Great stuff. My Uncle & friend who is 70, grew up in Gloucester & loves being around the water, he's soon to head out on his 32' boat from Gloucester to Marathon in the Keys. Great inspirational video here to share with him. Thank you.

Dont be around when that shark bites into that nloated gut bomb......OH SHIT!!!!!

He’s back!!! Be safe brother..

Nice! This was all of RI?

Nice to see you back. I love the Whaler but wow that’s a nice new ride. Happy sailing.

Be Safe, Brother !

Congrats on the new ride, bit of an upgrade for you, especially with someone else's credit card in the fuel pump. Enjoy my friend!

Beautiful boat and ride 🎉

What size tank are you running on that boat? I have a nauset with wood console and im looking for a tank upgrade.

Those shots of the seals....just great! Thanks!

Great series. Curious if you deliberately timed the passage down the East River for the tide and least chop. I was surprised how calm it was.

Just came across your videos. Makes me want to venture out a little further. What advice can you give about the weather ? Winds .. etc .. I wish I would have held out a little longer for a Whaler . Bought an older 17’ skiff with a 40hp . Might sell and go Whaler hunting again.

You’re out of your mind lol how many extra fuel tanks did you carry with you?

My favorite channel! Thanks for putting these out there! Quick question: I have a new to me 1967 BW - what anchor do you have? Looks like we have the same size anchor locker.

Wow! Great to see those windmills just absolutely pumping out that green energy! Good thing they have a crew out there to make sure nothing goes wrong. I mean, with all that activity, you need at least a couple high salary dudes out there to monitor it.

I saw a friend of mines 10 year old son release balloons today for his baby sister that had passed. It even had a card attached to them. I wanted to freaking scream, Why? 😡

Awesome trip and excellent information, very inspiring. I'm from Maine living in Florida now, hoping to do the 7000 mile Great Loop in my restored 1969 17' MFG.

We had a canoe race up here one year. Almost got beat by a couple of kids with a pirate flag.

Good to see your back like your vids

New subscriber, keep up the good work! I am working up the nerve (and skill) to venture as far offshore as you my friend!

I've missed your videos. I'm Jonesing for some warm weather and some time in salt water in my old Montauk. I've been putting in some lake time but nothing compares to salt water.

I missed you my friend

giving me fishing and boating withdrawals from Narragansett Bay lol.....cant wait for it to start up again!!!! great video

I enjoy your vids

Great to see another video from you. Thanks

Positive Blues day...big horse Blues can put on a tug. Any Great White sharks in your area, with all those Seals around. I'm gettin' it ready, just bought some new trailer wheel bearings to install.

I have watched several of your videos and I really enjoyed them. I was wondering, do you trailer your boat or is it in a slip?

I've seen blues in a feeding frenzy before, it looks like a swarm of bees coming up the river, really crazy to see

Great videos! We have a Montauk too. Great boats! Do you happen to know how many gallons of fuel you used? What size tank do you have? I was amazed by your range on some days. You're a real inspiration, well done.

hope to see you again at the Prov Marina dinghy poker tournament… 🤙🏾
