Sailing the Atchafalaya River

[@timwebb8153]

Love it Ziggy! Talk about pushing boundaries. The more I see of Buddy the more I like that guy. I'm proud to be a bastard you're taking sailing!

[@ZiggyLavengood]

Glad to have you aboard brother

[@restrothunderroad]

Alright guys, if yall plan to do this again next year then count me in! I like how Bubby's just going for a little stroll in the bayou as if there ain't 100+ hungry gators out there waiting to chomp at the bits. 🤙⛵

[@ZiggyLavengood]

Gators everywhere....

[@isaacpaulsen1158]

It looks like those gators were hounding you for that stew. Killer adventure!

[@ZiggyLavengood]

I think they were just trying to get a taste of the Cajun cooking!

[@isaacpaulsen1158]

@@ZiggyLavengood I can't blame them

Thank you, you made my day

@@ZiggyLavengood I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I just got myself a Windrider17, came across your channel while trying to learn more about it but came away with so much more than simple boat knowledge, you have been as inspiration.

"Hot and Spicy Spam"! I guess I've lived a sheltered life, first I've heard. Have lots of regular Spam in our California earthquake supplies, try to rotate the stock out every couple of years. Spam and eggs!

[@spaceace9680]

WHAT kind of boat is the one with the two round portholes / ?

[@ZiggyLavengood]

drascombe.uk/range/d22

[@jmc32]

In the raft up, facing the three boats, I believe the middle one with Ziggy is a scaled up Wellsford Sweet Pea, the one to the left is the Mariner 19, and the one to the right is a Drascombe Coaster, although the window shape is different than stock. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

[@ZiggyLavengood]

@@jmc32 you are correct. That is the only round window Drascombe in North America I'm told. The modified Sweet Pea's build is covered in a play list on my channel. We spent over a yr of working every day to build it.

[@jmc32]

@@ZiggyLavengood Loved the playlist and I followed the build with interest. Thanks for all your videos. They are great!

[@ZiggyLavengood]

@@jmc32 glad you liked it!

[@TerrapinCreekValley]

Great video. What type/make boat are youns in?? Looks like a sharpie.

[@buddysimons5200]

I designed and built the boat to be a shallow water version of an old Pilot Cutter. Around 2,500 hours of my labor with help from Ziggy and others a little over a years work.
