I've traveled through Long Island sound many times for many years and know full well how rough it can get. But your new boat handled it so well and like a champ. Those stabilizers are great!👍... Looking forward to your next video!..🍹🍸

[@aaronhobbs4592]

YOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!! can you do us a huuuuuge favor? is it possible in the future to install some crazy bright beam lights that will shine the entire front of the boat so we can see that storm at full 'whoop-em gundam' style? that would be sooo cool

[@taw5218]

I'm not even a boater. Never owned one. But damn I love watching your videos! Your positive attitude and knowledge is awesome. Glad you bring us along on your adventures. Be safe

Safety comment from 60 year licensed mariner. Construct a guard for the exposed pulleys on that generator. Secure that open gateway on the starboard railing. Man overboard at night seldom results in a rescue.

I can't believe how rough the LI sound was. I have sailed on it 4 or 5 times on a 34 ft sailboat and always figured it to be a pretty calm piece of water due to the narrow shape. Apparently when the wind is coming straight down the chute, it is a different animal.

The engine room is great but it’s difficult on the ears. If you wear a mic it would help

[@rerun3283]

Use the education bill code. I'm authorizing it.

[@alecalessandra9681]

Gus. Fellow boater here. For safety reasons, don’t wear a hoodie into the engine room with the drawstrings hanging down. Too easy to get entangled with all the rotating items in your engine room. Safe travels. Fair winds and following seas.

[@sonicthreads]

Gus already talked about this in a prior video

[@donc734]

😂 he talked about it because he got himself tangled around an angle grinder. Guess that wasn’t shocking enough for him to change his ways 😅

[@gregsullivan8956]

He's a grown ass man. You do you. Thanks

[@Pian_Malaya]

Yeah!...a lesson learned Gus...Safety 1st...

[@jabirucru6970]

Got to agree with that. There’s a big difference between getting caught in an angle grinder and a great big powerful diesel engine that will rip your head off unless the string is dragged through.

[@acdarc]

Man your videos are such an inspiration to many of us that are striving to achieve a personal dream in their lives. They are full of positive vibes and good mood which is gravely needed in today's world. All the best to you!

[@johnnyg.9809]

Recommend you wear a life jacket with a water activated strobe when you go outside while underway. If the stabilizers disengage while you’re outside you could get thrown into the ocean. Also, if you don’t already, keep a ship’s logbook. Log weather, engine status, comms with other ships and shore installations and any other significant events.

[@2oqp577]

The very first reason is that it adds value to the boat when log books are concise and furnished. Second reason, it help refining your maintenance schedule. Even at 35 years old, you will forget stuff.

[@supremeautomotive6749]

He has log video of everything even better

[@willw7743]

Except if you want to see the history you’d have to watch hours of videos vs looking at a few pages

[@drcdrdoct9864]

This is easily my favorite channel. She did really good in those seas. I know you were in a hurry to get underway, but you need to pay attention to the weather and sea state. Granted, it's not as important, but still the ocean is a greedy mistress and is always looking to take yet another crew. Fair winds and following seas mate!

[@billcrystal]

[@sandiegowildcat]

Having owned several Hatteras boats of the same age (now have a 1976 Hatteras 48LRC) I enjoy watching your channel. Glad you are young with so much energy and you have built an incredible skill set. Perhaps start building your own company to do yacht repairs and maintenance (hiring others and running the biz vs. turning the wrench). Love your initiative!

[@PVid1]

Love the content you are putting out. Your mechanical skills make this so watchable. So satisfying to watch you fix every problem as you discover it. I think you need to pull all of those strings out of your hoodies though, after the angle grinder incident. Watching you walk through the engine room with unprotected shafts and pulleys spinning and those strings hanging off your sweatshirt, makes me hold my breath.

[@WolfsburgVRSechs]

Gus, your timing on releasing videos is actually amazing. I don't know if its on purpose or not but I love the action packed long videos that keep me feeling involved and with excitement. The break in between episodes just drags on me, I'm constantly looking to see if you uploaded another video cause I'm so hooked and have been ever since you got the Hatteras. Keep up the work man, that is an absolute beast of a unit and I'm jealous you get to call her home!

[@WPRJersey]

Please follow some of the safety recommendations in the comments. Unpredictable shift could easily throw you over in weather like that. A quick donning of a life jacket could save your life. But as others have said, I am so amazed at your achievements, and watching your excitement because of all your hard work is addictive. I plan to make my teens watch this series from start to finish so they can learn that hard, dedicated work goes a long way. Your an awesome roll model i plan to use. Thanks you. Be safe, and have lots of fun. Can't wait for part two of this trip.

Its amazing how quickly the waves and wind built up. I grew up boating on long island sound and its very rare to have seas like that. People do not realize how quickly things can get out of hand with the weather. The good thing is there are so many options for ducking in on the conneticut coast and on the NY coast once you hit Port Jefferson. As always i really enjoy your videos.

Have the ut most respect for your ability's for not only the repair work done before hand but your confidence in captaining the ship in such windy conditions.

Beautiful to see an older, well designed and built motor yacht doing what it does best. This Broward is a real small ship. You can keep your planing hulls- a proper semi displacement hull is what's needed for passage making.

It will be a hard lesson to learn,I wish the best for you but I think you’re taking unnecessary risks.My great uncle whom my parents got our first boat from in 1965 use to say,” There are old boaters and foolish boaters but there are no old foolish boaters”Good luck to you and be safe,I enjoy watching your videos!

I own a bus with ONE of these engines. With probably the same amount of systems like water, sewer, power. I always get compliments on the Detroit from fellow truckers, typically older people that even know a 2 stroke diesel ever existed. Honks, waves and 👍. And you have TWO! I mean, It's a 35 year old engine and hard to maintain ONE. Albeit you have far more access around the engines but you have all the same systems to maintain and...oh yeah yours has to float!?

[@davelangenfeld5062]

I love your channel brother, been watching since day one. Just throwing this out there and maybe someone else has mentioned it but growing up on the water and flying since I was 10 I always look for ways or situations that might affect my flight/ride/cruise etc. This easily hits the 3 strike rule, long range maiden at night "not a chance", high winds/ weather in a unknown or new to you water craft "low time in this ship as far has handling goes" and in general doing a long range maiden on big water where things can go wrong fast . You're awesome,Im not ripping on you AT ALL!! Im actually thinking this was all done prior to this video perhaps??? Happy sailing buddy!! You're an inspiration to a lot of us!!

It may be very advantageous to maintain meticulous Engine Maintenance Logs & parts. Scheduled servicing, noted repairs found needy, a shopping list of very helpful spare parts, misc o-rings, gasket materials, sealants, replacement hydrolic hoses, fuses cables & fasteners,and even a few extra batteries that might be acquired and stored.

[@thomasmixson7064]

Try to think through any number of repairs or emergencies you may face at sea. What repairs may be possible or not. If so, all the tools, cleaning solvents, rags, paper towels, epoxies, primars & paint that may be needed or helpful. That and the actual working area to accomplish all that. Any engine repair manuals & a computer inventory of all parts & material. This way you can quickly determine if or what is needed & if you have such on board. That and when in port were prices and availability are favorable, you can quickly and easily have a shopping list of what you need & what you don't. Provision's computer inventory make keeping a standard larder & purchasing replacements a much more precise and adaptable ECONOMICAL endeavor. Just saying....😅

About 10 years ago I steered north into the Chesapeake Bay off the Potomac river in a 54 Hatteras MY straight into a 40 MPH north wind. I was alone and said a few prayers all the way to Annapolis. Water coming over the flybridge of a boat that big is a bit uncomfortable! Great job hanging in there! I checked Maine Traffic and see you're safe in Florida. Can't wait to see the rest of the journey.

[@dds77123]

Regarding the radar. The furuno radar is an open array which in most cases has a narrower beam angle than the closed array Garmin. In this case narrower is better because it makes the radar separate things like boats or small islands better. Open arrays also in most cases has a better output wattage. So there is probably no problem with the Garmin. In your case I would use both cause the radar overlay on the Garmin plotter is easier to read but still check the furuno from time to time. Stay safe!

[@KSMsails]

Open array definitely makes a difference, but there is also a reason many commercial boats and ships run Furuno radar. It's what they are known for.

[@just_me8796]

Rough seas and 50 kt winds... I decided I'm fine living vicariously through your videos. I have a 30' express cruiser on a lake, and I think I'm fine with that, haha. Love your videos, man. But I have to admit, part of it was terrifying, especially when you're running around on deck in the dark in those conditions. I think I said "oh, hell no" to myself about 50 times.
