Welcome To FLORIDA!! We Finally Made It Down The ICW To The Sunshine State On The CATAMARAN - EP 58

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

“And you guys thought we were the hazard!” Classic. You proved everyone wrong. Congrats making it to Florida. A testament to that Mercury outboard!

[@9to5less]

Hahaha. Thanks!! Yea that Mercury is a tank! Definitely going to give it a full service

[@babygirl89123]

Damn, almost 25,000 subs. I remember when you didn't even have a hundred. Actually liked her quirky personality it's a shame she bailed out when your channel was starting to gain ground. Regardless, moving on is what sailing is all about and what makes for a good channel. Where you're going and what it took to get there. Looking forward to seeing how you fix the boat whether it's the right way or the wrong way at the end of the day it's your way. Tip of the ole captains hat and wishes for fair winds to you.

[@9to5less]

Hey John! I know it's crazy! It grew really fast! Thanks for the support and kind words. I have some big plans for the boat!

[@vincentmeredith2561]

Love the show of you don't gotta have the most expensive or fanciest boat or anything like that to go do stuff like this.

[@juanmore62]

Spent almost a year watching y’all. I enjoy the series. Don’t know where your final destination is but I’ll be watching. Good luck.

[@j.d.anderson6710]

How am I just now finding this channel !?! I went to the beginning and started watching... Needless to say I haven't gotten any work done today! Lol OMG this is awesome. I'm just an ol Kentucky Hill Billy, I've been looking at boats and wanting to do this same thing. I imagine my adventure will be very similar to what I've seen here so far. You guys are great! Don't let the na sayers and negative ppl get you down. Real life, real adventure begins when you just do what dream. You guys are definitely living life! I'm subscribed and a fan for life!

[@9to5less]

Hey man!! Welcome to the channel!! If we can do it you can do it!

[@jasonstoltzman5517]

Glad to see you made it to Florida "officially" No matter what people say, the money you spent was worth the adventure and for all those who say you could have bought a monohull sailboat for less, obviously don't understand "your" adventure and the shallow draft of your cat. Can't wait to see your future adventures.

[@9to5less]

Thanks Jason!! You get it!! You're exactly right!! It really is the perfect boat for what I want to do and just what I was looking for!

[@CalciteSerendipity]

That odd structure you passed at the submarine base is a magnetic degaussing system.

[@9to5less]

Oh that’s so cool!! I knew somebody smart would watch this episode! Thanks for letting me know!

[@maxmackinlay618]

I remember being on board when you first bought the cat and the detractors said 'you got ripped off and ya all gonna drown'. But everyone else said 'can't wait to follow your adventures'. I'm obviously in the latter category.

[@9to5less]

Thanks for believing in us and following the adventure Max! This kind of support is what kept me going!

[@samualaddams705]

@@9to5less Ok man I freely admit that I think you got seriously ripped off and in a big way. I am not downing you, but what you got for what you gave yeah you did. The are sites that have sail boats in the water for sale for less then 1 grand. As far as the rest of it goes you had or got the safety equipment and seem to have enjoyed your adventure. I never questioned that part of it, you just way over paid for that boat shell.

[@unclebob6728]

These guys are for real!

[@GetNGhost]

@@samualaddams705 shit I would pay a grand for a Iroquois Cat Shell!!

[@9to5less]

Hey Diane!!! Thanks! Already working on the next one. These Florida videos are action-packed!

[@unclebob6728]

Keep Going! The Bahamas are Next! Only 90 miles from Fla!

[@pascalsight2685]

This is the coolest adventure!! You've went a long way. We can't wait to see the next video! If you make it around to the Gulf, look us up.

[@TheCSRTech]

At 14:00 that's where they de-magnetize submarines from Kings Bay Naval Base.

[@lethomps1]

It's amazing that you guys are able to get all the way to Florida. We are about 20 miles west of Titusville.

[@9to5less]

Nice! Hey neighbor!

[@bobuncle8704]

That’s a great milestone. 👍👍

[@9to5less]

Bob!!!!! Thanks man!! It was the first time I felt like we were almost there

[@SaltyMcBoatFace]

really glad to see you make it this far , really hooked on this story now , can't wait to see the boat finished :-)

[@9to5less]

Thanks SaltyMcBoatFace! It will be a glorious day when the boat is finished. The vision is coming together!

[@popeyeinnj]

I liked that little insight on how you started this adventure. Looking forward to your next video!

[@LWDavis58]

Welcome to Jax. My hometown. Glad she made it. You guys are awesome. Wish I could have met you.

[@Hackdaddy81]

Glad to see you made it man... been here since close to the beginning... and now almost 25,000 subs... that has to feel great.. keep us posted man.. best wishes

[@9to5less]

Hey Seth! I know it's been a wild ride! Thanks for your support and I'll keep the videos coming!

[@ussweeneyd]

Well done. Persistence pays off! Good luck.

[@lifeasafanpodcast9529]

Hopefully soon some updates on the vacation and everyone's favorite boat repair work lol

[@9to5less]

Hahaha. I've placed a large order at the Bondo company to get ready!

[@j.c.9256]

"And y'all thought we were the hazard!" Is the funniest thing I've heard you say. Don't listen to the nay sayers, most of them including myself wish they had the balls to do what you've done. Win or lose, you are out there doing it.

[@tooljst8]

That big metal cage is a degaussing station for the submarines.

[@susanharper3350]

Watch since the day you bought it can't wait to see your new adventures ahead of you

[@9to5less]

Hey Susan!! Thanks so much!! The next adventure is wild and I don’t think anyone on KZbin has ever done it before

[@MegaDirtyberty]

Well done, you made it!, proved a lot of naysayers wrong. It's an eerie feeling when you are right on the edge of a channel and you feel your keel bump over rocks (luckily the keel is a steel one).

[@9to5less]

Hey Berty!!! It felt so good to cross that imaginary line I can't even explain! Glad you have a steel keel! That's gotta be nuts. I'm so glad I didn't hit any rocks. It was a huge fear of mine when the tide was really low.

[@richardschaefer8605]

Thanks Richard! I put a lot of time into this one!

[@EdEdelenbos]

You know the unwritten rule is to render assistance whenever possible. The other half of which is the help you get when needed.

[@NCMATT]

Great job with you guys work & video's

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Really nice Marina and town. You need to just go to gas docks and fill up! Lol

[@9to5less]

Hahaha. That would be way too easy though. Lol. It was nice to get some exercise and walk around. Also saved about $20-$30 as marina gas is expensive.

[@JohnBraman413]

did you take all the rigging and mast down using as a cruiser?

[@brucemarkey7177]

This trip has been going on for over a year.. lol... But, you're getting there!

[@ronaldharris6569]

so what are your plans for the boat now?with a second engine and some mods she will be a decent motorcruiser

[@9to5less]

I'm thinking solar/electric but keep a gas motor too

[@JConk007]

You did it ! Come a long way since Oriental! think of meeting you guys at the bean !

[@9to5less]

Hey!!!! I can't believe it's been a whole pandemic since then. Time just flies. I hope you are well. I thought about the dragon this past New Year's Eve. Did it get rained out this year?

[@JConk007]

@@9to5less YES the dragon went mobile ! The show must go on !, To avoid crowding they loaded both dragons on to large trailers and they were towed around a route that covered the whole town. So everyone still got to see the dragon safely it was brilliant! Few videos on the towndock.net site - And even in the light rain they pushed on ! So cool 🐲

[@Freeagent-4-life]

"You want me to carry it? I'm short." "Nah I'm good."

[@tomd.3082]

That area of Fernandina Beach is very shallow. I went thru there myself and had inches of water under the keel a lot of the time.

[@9to5less]

Hey Tom! Yea I had no idea it was going to be like that. I bet a lot of people get stuck there

[@tomd.3082]

@@9to5less I don't doubt that many run aground in that area. I found that whole stretch to Sister's Creek to have quite few spots in the channel where I had to find the deeper water. When I head back North, I think I'm going to take the outside route and ride the Gulf Stream just to avoid shallow water.

[@unclebob6728]

There are 2 types of boaters: Those that have run aground, and those who will run aground!

[@tomd.3082]

@@unclebob6728 Actually, 3 kinds of boaters. The first two you mentioned and the third type. Those who lie about running aground. I'm not afraid to admit that I have run aground twice and hope to not do it again anytime soon.

Noted you were gassed up to make Titusville, was that your destination? I grew up in Titusville, coastal Texas now. Enjoying your adventure.

[@9to5less]

Awesome! Sure is. It’s going to be a great place to work on the boat I think

[@michaelmclester5133]

Cool, grew up there 50's to 68when I was drafted. Lived on Jackson St. Spent countless days on the Indian River. The marina is easy bigger than my youth. You have family there? Should be a great place to get the boat in shape, then head for the Key's.
