Merry Christmas to you too from Texas!

@@jameshelms2631 Merry Christmas to everyone aboard the good ship Coddiwomple ⛵⛄🎁

@@tinaxii thank you for taking the time to watch our video and leaving us such a kind comment. I didn't know about the flood damage. I mean, I grew up not far from there so the flood part doesn't really surprise me, but the part about the community coming together to show their support for the family...now that is awesome! I believe that's what life is about, people helping people. Thanks for sharing the information, it gave me an extra reason to smile today.

@@brittneyboesch thank you very much! I really appreciate you saying that!

@@alexandradittmann8588 that's awesome! May I ask, what did you end up studying?

@@alexandradittmann8588 thank you for taking the time to watch our video, it is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

@@grec9177 We are under the assumption that she went under at some point because of the way that she looked & smelled, and I would say she was probably under for a good hot minute. However, I could be wrong. I mean, I'm not wrong very often, but it is always a possibility. 🤷‍♀️ As far as how deep, I don't actually know that either, but from what I remember she has a considerably deep draft (6 or 7 foot) so that would really depend on where she was when she sank.

Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and to share your opinion. We appreciate it

@@sinan1752 it's not going to ruin me, but I appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching our video.

@@crowdog56 thanks for watching our video and for leaving us a comment. It's much appreciated.

@@Maddie-Girl that seems sadly accurate, but to the right person with the right amount of passion it might be worth it. We have a great deal of passion when it comes to saving old boats and, while we aren't the right people in this case, I hope maybe the right person will stumble across this video. By the way, thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment.

@@Christopher-i7j1d that may be true. Thank you for watching our video and taking the time to leave us a comment. We appreciate it.

@@Jaml321 I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not trying to bait anyone. My husband has a slight addiction to Facebook marketplace and I'm always game to check out a boat. However, I'm grateful that you had enough interest to click on our video and took the time to leave a comment. So, thank you.

@@HistoryRats I meant being baited with the boat being free. There is no such thing as a free boat. You only get it for free if it would cost way more to fix it than it would cost to buy the same boat from a different seller in good condition. They are searching for an idiot to take it off their hands so they don't have to pay for the decommissioning of the vessel.

Thank you for explaining. I understand what you mean about a free boat. Generally speaking, you will not find a boat that you won't have to fix at some point.

@@HistoryRats I dont think you can compare a refit to a complete reconstruction. This boat is beyond the point where it makes any sense to invest any further.

@@Jaml321 either way, I still appreciate you for taking the time to have a conversation about it.

Lol good troll attempt

@@radualin1 I believe she was probably was a good boat & that given the right circumstances she probably could be again. I don't really have much faith that those circumstances will happen for her, but a girl can hope. Thanks for checking out our video and taking the time to leave us a comment. It's greatly appreciated 🙏

@@Jaml321 I'm not sure what you mean, but I still appreciate you taking the time to leave us a comment.

@@bellofello1 I definitely believe she has a lot of potential. However after spending the last 10 months bringing a 1970 C&C Redline back to life, she's a lot more of a project than we can commit to right now. Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and leave a comment. We appreciate it.

I don't run away, but I do back away slowly and carefully.

@@HistoryRats lol I have walked away myself so I understand.

Thank you for taking the time to watch our video. We appreciate it.

@@AaronBrand I don't remember that option being put on the table 😆 besides, we didn't take it. Don't get me wrong, she has a lot of potential and I'm a sucker for saving old boats, but she's going to take every bit of a year of work (at the very least) and that's just not something that we can commit to right now.

@@HistoryRats You mean 10 years and a 100 grand minimum.

@@Jaml321 you might be right. She's got a large number of boat projects to be done and I firmly believe that boat projects are never really done. However, quite a bit of the materials that would be needed are already on the boat and it is possible to do the job with little to no financial investment. I'm not saying it would be easy or quick, but it can be done. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.

My paternal grandfather was from the Coldspring area. I believe they had a dairy farm. I've always wanted to go explore the Huntsville area, specifically the old Steamboat House & Martha Chapel Cemetery, but as of yet I have not had the opportunity.

@@boldenbey6607 it's always nice to meet a fellow Texan. Thank you for watching our video 😊 This was our very first video and it has been 4 years since we released it, so I will see what I can do about a follow up video. If you subscribe and ring the bell, you should get a notification when we upload something new. Again, thank you for watching and commenting 🙂

Good morning ☺️ I don't know if you are aware or not, but I took your suggestion and did a follow up video with a lot more information. It took me a little longer than I thought it would, but mission accomplished 🥰

@@allenpope6133 So, this is actually a video from last October. We went out 3 different times to get her off of the island, but we just couldn't get her. We had to do a mad rush to get Loki from project to home in the few days that Junior was supposed to be gone for Halloween. Then Junior never came back and now Loki is just to much boat for just two people.

That would be very cool! 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to watch one of our videos.

That's awesome! Thanks for watching our video 😊

That is very true! Thank you very much for watching our video!

@@HistoryRats yep,sheffields and Newports. A lot of history,lol

Thank you for not being mean about it.

I don't know that you're missing anything, other than we were towing another boat. Besides, it's a good title for a video where we did, in fact, run out of diesel in our sailboat...I mean, you obviously watched the video, so it worked.

@HistoryRats I was like expecting more danger or a bad storm or rough currents pushing yall towards rock or something .... lol. Wby didn't yell just sail the the towed boat and buddy boat the trip? It looks pretty decent condition and fairly good shape. I have seen some horror stories dealing with boats getting towed. One guy named Drake out of oriental nc, just had a brand new bow sprit and was towing another guy's boat when some how the the boat getting towed passed Drake and turned right into the brand new bow sprit taking it out. I gave out of gas several times in the past. Almost every time was from contaminated fuel, or from damaged during a storm, or because it was stolen while I was away. Once the fuel line ruptured at the fitting to the tank and i lost 5 gallons before I could stop it. Man that was scary smelling fumes in the boat while scooping water and fuel from the bilge with a cup into a 5 gallon bucket. I never really towed another sailboat with a standing mast. I did tow one with a master snapped off at the spreaders once but the guy sailed it 135 miles with a jury rig, till I found him and he was willing to sail right in to the Chesapeake bay but I tossed him a line and we did about 4 hours under my Atomic 4 power. That went through fuel like crazy towing. I'm pretty sure that's what happen to yall. The extra load took a little extra fuel. Glad yall made it and it was just a simple running out of fuel. I'm wanting to get another mid 20'er.. maybe a Coronado 27 shoal draft or something. Lol

So, when we were towing the little boat back in October, we didn't really know a lot about it. There were a lot of unknown factors that made us unsure of what the little HR was capable of. I don't know if you can tell in the video, but she was seriously overweight. There was something like 35 gallons of fresh water on board (not our doing), bottles & jugs everywhere you looked. I don't know that she would have done very well sailing like that. Since that time, we have become rather familiar with her. She's a fun little sailor, although I'll admit that I'm still learning the art of the tiller 😆 As to the danger, that didn't come in until the next morning. I don't think I will be releasing that footage.

@HistoryRats lol go ahead release that footage.. lol. I am 100% sure you're first day was much better at sailing then my first year of trying.. lol. I think I would have emptied a few bottles of water, but then it might have been a good thing as it made the towed boat a tad heavier and slowed it down so as not to ram you. My dingy did that once. I had the painter too short and a wave came up the stern and slammed my dingy right into the name plate. I put a bucket out the back back once to see if it really would slow the boat down.. I ended up having to stop the boat to recover that dern bucket. Lol. I used a canoe for a dingy most of the time and swamped it more then once because I was towing it instead of strapping it to the stanchions. I'm glade that you atheist enjoying the little boat and not on the hard rotting away.

I appreciate you saying that, but I don't think releasing the footage is such a good idea. The day after this video was shot, we ended up stranded on a deserted island for three days after both boats got beached. We survived, obviously 😆, but the footage is pretty intense. After the nasty comments that I've had to remove from this video, I can only imagine the negativity that would cause. I just can't deal with that right now.

What does that mean?

Thank you! I appreciate you saying that!

I'm not sure why, but I expected the cotton to look different...less processed, maybe?

That's cool. My sister lives there with my nieces & my nephew.

That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

@@HistoryRats May they all find peace

Yes, it sure does!

What is that?

I believe that may have been what it was, now that I've had time to do some reading, but holy cow 🐄 was it crazy looking!

I know right! Hey thanks for checking out our channel 😀
