[@jaylac]

Welcome back, John! More wonderful inspiration..., thank you!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

jaylac Thank you...It is good to be back except for this heat...lol

[@jaylac]

John Ahern I know what you mean. That's why I tend to gravitate towards the Pacific NW!

[@robbradley9674]

Very patriotic at the end John, loved that, here's to our Forces. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

+Rob Bradley The men and women of our armed forces are the reason we all have freedom......Happy New Year

[@Thelawncarenut]

Pancakes go down good anytime, and they always spike my insulin and make me crash right after LOL. So what is the next adventure we get to follow you on John?

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

The Lawn Care Nut Exhumas & Cuba

[@Thelawncarenut]

John Ahern wow awesome! Can't wait. I've seen Cuba from the deck of a cruise ship before - always thought I'd like to see it up close as I assume it would be unspoiled. You are like the Anthony Bourdain of the cruising world lol

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

The Lawn Care Nut I am going there to find a wife....should be good video...lol....Thanks for following. I appreciate it

[@Thelawncarenut]

[@number9express]

Welcome back John. Nothing like the USA. Yep, I'd pass on the wife thing, female sailing companion maybe. Anyway, I look forward to Freedom's next adventure.

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

number9express Thanks......It is nice to be back.....All the stores you want and cheaper

[@jimbospics]

Love your adventure. Got a question for ya tho.. you mention that you have to keep starting your engines to charge your batteries. Is there a reason your not using a bank of solar cells to do that job for ya?

[@RicardoMeleschi]

Hey John! I noticed you have your USCG Master Captain License. Did you get that while sailing your Cat and so you could charter her?

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Ricardo Meleschi I have had my license for about 6 years now.......I did it a while back just to have for deliveries

[@SailingNervous]

Hey John -- where do you keep the boat in Fla? I used to live in Stuart- Do you keep it near Peanut Island area?

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Sailing Nervous Right now I am in West Palm Beach. I will be heading up to St Augustine this week

[@SailingNervous]

yeah...i shoulda figured that st. augustine is the place to keep it -- no hurricanes!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Sailing Nervous You just jinxed me...lol...They can handle my cat and the costs go down drastically once you hit this area

[@SailingNervous]

ha-ha--- good to know - that's where i will keep mine (looking at a Moody 34 to make an offer on) your boston accent or somewhere else in NE? Have a 'frappe'! I used to spend alot of time in Boston-

[@CS-iu3pz]

FWIW.....some of the best fishing in the stream off PB. Depth means nothing...Just look for weeds, birds or floating debris to find the fish. ;)

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Chris S You are right Chris......Thanks

[@mickrelic4891]

Enjoy your break home and hope the song of the sea draws you back soon. Getting a wife, there is a couple of used models I know of if you want to come down to Australia and collect them. The reality is like used cars... "high maintenance might be required to ensure smooth operation".. :-) LOL oooops of the PC Sin Bin I go Sailing companion, female crew might be better, I am sure there are websites to find them.. On a side note, what is your fuel consumption when you motor. One or two motors?

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Mick Relic LOL....You take care of those women for me.....I would say 1 -1.2 gals per hour and per engine.....Depend on RPM's, but I keep it around 1800 when boat tops at about 2900

[@jimmystevens1162]

Fill up them tanks with some sweet diesel.

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

James Stevens I added 10 gallons when I got back...lol

[@dansacry8737]

Great video.....find a wife? You mean your selling your boat

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Dan Sacry LOL....Everything in life is for sale!! No I am not selling....
