Marie, I am so proud of you. We used to play in that type of mud as kids!

This was one of your best videos! You are good at describing the odor and nasty water. Marie is a good sport. I think I would have helped you get muddy too!!😂

You have not sold me on the mid-west rivers. Asian Carp kills are not my thing. We are enjoying your excursion to OK. Cheers to you both!

If you would have been North earlier you could've went through the Erie canal for trip south😮

@CruisingThisOldBoat Ай бұрын

@@doncritzer2798 - that was our original plan but we had scheduling conflicts that prevented us from getting that far north in time so we decided to take this trip instead.

We're in Tulsa.....when do you expect to arrive at the Port of Catoosa ??

@@toddkuykendall6030 - it would have been awesome to meet you but unfortunately we have already come and gone - like most KZbin channels our videos lag behind to give us time to edit them. We are currently in Little Rock on our way south. If you follow our Facebook page we always post our current whereabouts on there - if you are ever close to where we are let us know - we would certainly make arrangements to meet up!

Sooo love your videos!!! Have you done a video about your solar setup? I need to install solar on mine and I am looking for ideas, help, instructions, etc. Thanks!!!

@CruisingThisOldBoat Ай бұрын

@@carpediemwithLesli - Thank you for watching our videos! I did not do a how to on the solar installation because I did not feel qualified and to be honest, I wasn’t even sure if I was doing it right. But apparently I did because it has been working great. You are not the first person to ask though so maybe I should consider a video on how my system is installed. As you state - just to provide ideas.

So how’s the MCClerran system been? Any issues this time of year finding fuel or anchorages. With all the rain we just received I wonder if the flow picked up.

@CruisingThisOldBoat Ай бұрын

@@RLoose9494 - we have not had any problems finding fuel or anchorages. Our biggest problem has been getting fresh water frequently enough. We have been getting a push from the flood waters.

@patlockhart28 Ай бұрын

What is the distance from the Ohio river to the arkansaw river.

@CruisingThisOldBoat Ай бұрын

@@patlockhart28 - once you turn off the Ohio River into the Mississippi, it is 382 miles to where you turn to go up the Arkansas River. Technically, you turn into the White River as there is no navigable entrance into the Arkansas River but you only stay in the White for about 10 miles before you take a canal over to the Arkansas.

This is a problem I see coming unfortunately. My wife has NMO, combined with a heat intolerance. 101° out walking around she wouldn’t do good. Funny one night we came in late after dark to the ramp to load The ramp was busy so I put in off to the side. My wife tried to climb off the bow and fell into a hole between the rocks. Fortunately a kind fellow boater jumped off his boat next to us and helped her climb up the bank. I was a terrible husband because I was laughing so hard while trying to mangage the boat and the dog that I was no help (she was in no immediate danger) just hip deep. All she was saying was, “my phone, my phone”. Anyways glad you’re all doing well sorry we missed you up in Muskogee OK we were not far away. Safe travels!!

@@RLoose9494 - the temperature was hard for Marie as well but she struggled through it. With few marinas on the Mississippi at which to refill the fresh water tank you can’t wait for better weather. I don’t think you were a terrible husband, just a husband. I think it’s in our DNA to laugh at our wives’ mishaps because we so seldom get to see them mess up. 😉 We regretted not getting to meet you as well.
