STOP!! You CAN'T Live on a Boat Full-Time Without THIS! // Getting back to BOAT LIFE

[@jshrawder49]

She look like she had som much fun driving the new dinghy! Her smile is so infectious! Have fun out there!

[@tomwilliams8675]

Sierra your smile when you were driving the dinghy said it all ❤❤❤😊😊😊 Have a safe and Happy New Year

[@scable-eq7bp]

Congrats on the new Dingy and motor but because the 880 sport is such a shallow draft boat we are going to take our time purchasing a Dingy, you can beach this boat without any issues.. I still can't get over the speed of this boat, we sailed from our condo in Key Largo to Key West right before Christmas, we made the 94 miles trip in 5.8 hours and averaged 16.7 knots and a few times we hit 21.2 knots, even at those wicked speeds the boat is still very stable. We are talking about sailing to the Bahamas in Feb. with this boat, as fast as it is, the time to Bimini should be cut in half.....

[@joesphbest3120]

Your going to love sailing that boat, its a life changer. HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@rhondagutzwiller6778]

So glad you like the dingy and that you’re going to be living on the trimaran! Can’t wait for more sea adventures! Be safe!!!🥰

[@makotanko2994]

For 10$, I bought an electric air mattress pump that you can use a cigarette port or battery terminals for operating. Best purchase I ever made for my dingy because it would take 15 minutes on the foot pump.

[@lauriefrancisco1084]

Cool little motor. Especially like the fact it’s silent!

[@billatherholt4617]

Yes make that loop. 10K Islands up to Goodland/Marco Is. then up to Charlotte Harbor and the whole string south from Boca Grande > Cayo Costa > Cabbage Cay > Captiva > Sanibel. All of that cruising area around the West coast is fantastic for a shoal draft trimaran. Then across the waterway is a fun experience too. Great Idea to loop it

[@pats7276]

Happy New Year! Yes. I'd love to watch you do the loop! Happy Sailing! ⛵

[@stul8724]

So cool and inspirational! Met my current girlfriend ‘sailor’ at the Dive Bar Marina. We hope to get back on the water this year!!!! My girlfriend is mesmerized by Sierra’s energy and SMILE 😃

[@fanoboss]

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

[@hotrodhog2170]

Sierra's smile at 20:20 is priceless!

[@emhaley]

“Did you put the plug in?” Sierra for the win.

[@greggtilghman6349]

Billy said yeah! then looked!!! LOL I'm 56 and been on and around boats literally all my life, no matter what your experience, it can happen to anybody!

[@BoatingJourney]

LOL! loved it.

[@emoryodell3247]

Billy that is a pretty ring you bought !!

[@brianschindlbeck2807]

Another great episode guys. Over 30 years since I left Sarasota but the memories of those little flying pests still remains.😫 . How about just a little tease on the new boat? Still on schedule? Happy New Year guys.

[@txhypnotist]

Happy New year 2U. You asked for suggestions. Here's mine. 1. Great idea to take the trimaran around the Fl. Key's on a loop. Anywhere the weather is really warm and nice from December -March. 2.Would be cool to see you two sail to the Bahama's on that boat. I bet you would love to do a 3-4 day and return back to Florida. It would cause a bunch of people to buy that type of boat if you simply showed just how it can be done. Most people are just afraid to venture forward.

[@bubbagail7450]

Do the loop, that would be awesome. Just be careful in kissimmee (jetty and the gators won't get along) That electric motor is impressive. Happy New Year guys.

[@BoatingJourney]

Wow, super awesome dinghy! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! We love you guys!

[@carleenh4946]

Great Dinghy and motor. Very easy to lift onto one of the tramps as towing it above 7 knots might get hairy. Yes tour the Florida Coast. Tons of spots to tuck the tri in. Just into Charlotte Harbor, there's a great little nook off of Pelican Bay just south of Cayo Costa State Park (showers!!). We got our F22 in there 18' beam) so you wouldn't have a problem. You can easily roll the dinghy up and store in the cabin while travelling. Ditto with motor (store both forward I think for more tongue weight). I can't tell you how much I despise noseeums. Happy New Year!! Carleen and Jim

[@hookinwithhansel6314]

You can get an automatic inflator with a pressure gauge. They hook up to the terminals on a battery. That’s what I have for mine since I store the dinghy when not in use. They are about $150 but well worth the investment.

[@fredbrillo1849]

The trip across the Caloosagatchee to Stuart is awesome! I did it 2 years ago in a 30 ft sailboat over Christmas weekend!

[@GeorgeIvanPare]

Jetty is so darn cute! We are so excited to follow you in this next chapter as we get our Corsair ready to join you!

[@josh_9266]

Cant wait for yall to get back on the boat full time!

[@tomd.3082]

I have a roll up dinghy also. Mine is a Newport Vessels 9'6" with a solid 4 piece piece floor, inflatable keel and rated for up to 10 h.p. I don't have an engine for it yet, but so far, it's been a really good platform for working on the hull of the boat. - S/V Celtic Star

[@jacksbackable]

That’s a great little tender! I’m impressed by the alloy transom. I had a Zodiac with a ply transom, rotted out in under 2 years! It only ever went in saltwater.......!? Highfield’s certainly seem to have cornered the market Now! Thanks for sharing Twinnies! 😆😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

[@deskboundaviator7377]

Hi guys. My wife and I did Key West to Dry Tortugas to Everglades Park to Ft Myers to Okeechobee to the ICW in our Gozzard 36 cutter sloop. It was a terrific trip. Okeechobie is like sailing (motoring) through chocolate pudding. You might need to lower your mast to clear the RR bridge on the eastern side (we used the "tilt" service provided by a nice fellow from Indiantown Marina ). Be sure to check that before starting your trip. It's a looooong way back around Miami.

[@chiane1968]

Great video. I love the direction of this channel now! I watch a lot of the SV video's on KZbin, and it's refreshing to see someone with fully functional state of the art new gear instead of endless video's of new uses for duct tape. Keep up the fantastic content, I think you have something now.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Yes, yes, yes so the Florida loop. That dink looks really cool. If I get tired of loading and unloading my tin boat from my truck I may look into one. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@tommerola]

Did the loop 2 yrs ago in a 29 Watkins. Definitely do it!! The crossing thru Lake "O" is awesome, enjoy!

[@westtexasdave2140]

The bag for the motor could use some rollers like a suitcase.

[@riverakers]

Amazing the things that are available today.You are blessed to be able to live this lifestyle.Who would have thought that doing vids was going to be an introduction to a new career 10 years ago.I know there is a lot of work involved but look at the benefits and opportunities that come from it.Full steam ahead.Great job!

[@donnyoh]

You guys look really happy!

[@richardboody6709]

Happy New Year and I can't wait till you two get cruising!!! Keep the videos coming!!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Us either!! Real real soon! Hoping to start within the next two weeks!!

[@51captbill]

Hi guys. I used a roll up on my f31. I got used to leaving it inflated upside down on the starboard net with two tie straps. Fast deploy and retrieval. Best of luck from charlotte harbor.

[@cecilpacetti1491]

You could always drag the dinghy behind the trimaran on a 100' line. This would work for short passages which you'll be doing while coastal cruising.

[@dannyhall638]

Billy, I wonder if a small solar panel mounted to the dingy motor would power it or keep it charged. 🤔🤔

[@austinl.2703]

Happiness prevails ! 50 years ago I was introduced to a stuff sack for a pup tent and a sleeping bag. I wonder if you can apply this method to your dinghy ? Just stuff it into the available space. You guys are great ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !

[@holisticaustralia]

12v rechargeable pump.. too easy! Love your little ib..

[@waynecompton7612]

Good morning Billy and Sierra, thank you for the video and Take Care stay safe, Happy New Year to you and your Family’s 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@sailfastnow]

I use the Torqeedo 4.0 Cruise on my Corsair F27. Super quiet, clean, and powerful! Have fun cruising!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Is that the main propulsion for your F27 or is it for a dinghy? How do you charge it back up??

[@sailfastnow]

@@Tulasendlesssummer It is the main propulsion for my F27. It has more thrust than my old Nissan 8HP had. I have a charger on-board that charges my 4 - 12 volt batteries (in series for 48v) using shore power. It yields about 20 miles at 4-5kts. Less of course at faster speeds. If I'm going out for longer periods, I'd use a generator to charge up if there's no marina in sight (but that's extra weight and gas). I'd love to have the Torqeedo 48v battery pack which is lighter, but spendy - spendy :) On another thought... when you get use to the boat's performance - try boarding behind it when its blowing out! That would make a great vid! Happy New Year to you guys!

[@ronaldharris6569]

What highfield ships a huge retriever with every boat?I so want one now

[@BoatingJourney]

Reminds us of our golden Mac....sure miss him. Loved seeing this!

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Happy New Year. I think the Florida loop that you mentioned would be really nice to see.

[@waltsailing2009]

Nice video...If you have a small shop vac, the kind that can be used wet/ dry, empty it out and reverse the hose and it will let you easily inflate the dingy... runs off the inverter...very fast.

[@jenniferpierson9752]

You should definitely do the loop. So many awesome places to go with shallow draft!

[@65MK]

Yes, do the loop!👍🏻

[@r.l.sewall7944]

Would love to see a trip around Florida and into Lake "O". Hope to be down to Boynton Beach after getting the vaccine for older folks like us up here in N. H.

[@billberry557]

Thanks for the video it was great and seeing it on New Years Eve Day (9 am Phoenix) made for a nice early morning. Just realized how much watching your videos has been a downer. Have a great New Year looking forward to a 2021 year. Aloha

[@kevinbrady9633]

Absolutely - the Florida Loop!

[@bartwesp4303]

Yes to the FL loop! Lake Mead would also be a neat trip, and something you won't do with the new boat.

[@TheBeggFamily]

Cruising on that trimaran should be FUN! Looking forward to the videos.

[@lindabutler7914]

West coast of Florida is the best you will love it ,Anna Marie island and Longboat key are great and you can't miss honeymoon beach.Oh your going to love have fun Happy New Year

[@americanix7951]

Happy new year!!! Maybe a little challenging to inflate deflate and pack on the boat ?

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

We will definitely film it when we try!!

[@brucevining8543]

LOL. We’ve been watching you since you first got Adrenaline. We’re old, old time sailors and I rebuilt a trimaran ‘(69, 36’ Piver), Rebuilding it from the keel up did give me a great knowledge base about what we had and how it worked which was good but, seriously, it wore me out (and yes, I was in my thirties back then). Wow, everything has come such a long, long way since the eighties. Okay, okay enough reminiscing. Being old, retired and less of a man physically than I was back then, I am all for enjoying what we have at a price we can afford. And, I want to make a couple of observations you will likely appreciate. First, know that the inflation of your dingy is better done with a mini shop vac (it will serve multiple purpose too) and it will be wiser than overfilling your dingy with a compressor and reversing it will suck the air out when you want to deflate it - they never fully deflate w/o a little help. As you said space is at an optimum when you are cruising. Second, know that it will not take long before the “newness” of your dingy wears out and it is no longer a “toy”. Look into a “shade” that you can set over the top where you can set up a flexible solar panel (probably a 50watt - and, yes, Torqueedo does offer them. With that, your range is not limited and, if you want or as required, the power is always there. And finally, set yourself some bars on the back of your tri to use the Torqueedo as a back up and even a thruster for docking, Three horse is not a lot but it will keep you out of harms way when things go array as they tend to go. Just a suggestion from an old salt that absolutely loves what your doing. Best of luck to you guys. Bruce Vining

[@blue1991flhs]

That looked like great fun!

[@garthmcconnochie6186]

Hi Guys, you should have looked at Portabote they fold (no pumping) almost flat and you can lash them to the nets!

[@jackfntwist]

Yay! You're back to almost normal. Any update on the Cat?

[@bobbie7355]

I'm waiting patiently for the next sailing video. Hurry up already. Hugs from Texas. Fair winds full sails.

[@quarlow1215]

Happy New Year Billy, Sierra and Jetty. See you next year.

[@karlbass7895]

Great setup with the trimaran and the dinghy! Yes, do the trip through Lake O out to the west coast. Hit Ft. Myers area, Cayo Costa, etc. Looking forward to some interesting waters :). Stay healthy & safe!! Happy New Year!!!

[@RaftOne]

Don't get a 12v compressor. If you get a small jobsite blower. It is strong enough to get the majority of the air in the dingy then you can top it off as hard as you want with the foot pump. Also, a shop vac works if you have one onboard.

[@edquier40]

The break in hours on an electric motor are not an issue, go for it!

[@jackfntwist]

Happy New Year!

[@Mike-ys7rh]

Perfect dinghy for the trimaran...safe travels...Happy New Year!!!

[@srqlisa7881]

Of course you have to come over to the west coast, it's so different from the east coast. You could also plan to go to the crystal river area and snorkel with some manatees. We have Mote Marine in Sarasota. The Peace River with alligators there is so much to do. Happy New Years to you. Peace

[@Alan62651]

Great new boat... Happy New Year and happy cruising.

[@lancedaniels]

Really NICE addition!!!

[@mwatling3816]

Happy New Guys

[@cup_and_cone]

Smugglers Loop sounds awesome, but you should venture up to the panhandle at some point. Between Apalachicola and Pensacola are some of mainland Florida's most beautiful beaches...all the quartz from Appalachian mountains runs out and creates powder sand.

[@jodybruch829]

Love that you were wearing the same shirt😊

[@BushImports]

That's a short dingy, the electric motor is neat. You guys have a great new year.

[@dragondada]

I'll be keeping my eyes open for you guys in Marathon. If you see an old green SeaRunner trimaran out there, that's me!

[@jamesblackburn934]

Fort Jefferson and The Dry Tortugas are Beautiful.

[@ON3L0VE]

I’m at Waterway Park at least 3 times a week, sad I missed seeing you guys.

[@greggtilghman6349]

How are you going to secure the motor on the dinghy for like going on land to drinks & dinner or dancing?

[@konstantinkaraev4742]

Great gifts for the New year! Happy New Year guys and new travels!

[@TheExumRidge]

I suppose it isn't practical to beach the 880 every night. one of their selling points is shoal draft with boards up. it would be interesting to learn how often you could have beached the tri and avoided the dinghy. 50%? For sure go sure go see west coast. Charlotte harbor is fun. Sarasota? Probably fun also.

[@stevenclarue7802]

Dawg tested and dawg approved!

[@hulahickey6959]

wow quiet! Love that

[@mikeroll9868]

Nice set up on the dingy. Do you have or plan on any solar panels to help charge the battery? Trying to charge with the Genny would be ridiculous.

[@davehill7484]

Have always thought about doing the mini loop 👌definitely on the bucket list for sure. Although we would be on a 30 ft. Rampage talking to people whom have done this trip absolutely raved about it😉👌👍👍

[@JimmyOnions1]

Fun video as always! Freaking Sierra, not a shred of make up on, hair in a ponytail and still the prettiest girl on KZbin

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

You just made my day. Thank you ☺️

[@deanmacka4975]

Great stuff guys

[@ronvandermolen8676]

Wish we had that stuff in the 70's.

[@shivermetimbers4102]

Awesome 👍

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

We think you should come all the way up to the Clearwater area. Just saying, the Tampa Bay area is amazing. Hope to see you soon.

[@brianbiddle7590]

Please do the Florida loop! Its on our bucket list.

[@rumblechick73]

Looking forward to seeing the Florida loop! Used to sail out of Dinner Key Marina in Miami, canoeing all over the place in the state, now live in N Fort Myers. Watch out for gators in the Caloosahatchee after you enter the locks headed to the east!

[@airshipguys]

Nice un boxing video. I am very curious about how easy it will be to keep the electric outboard charged. I guess not so much of a problem if you use the onboard generator but then you still have deal with gas. I am so interested to see how your light weight cruising goes. Happy New Year from Juneau Alaska, Greg Chaney

[@gc1914]

So nice too be back!! Happy New year!! Dry skiff ?

[@robmack7238]

Do the Florida loop please! That would be awesome content. Loving your channel in Chicago!

[@mymortonisms]

You two are so cute, like old folks already dressing in the same shirts. Must be love!

[@martykendall6547]

Awesome video, makes me want an inflatable. Where we dock our boat people spend a lot more time cruising in their dinghies than they do in their big boats.
