It's kind of like Med mooring...only to a tree rather than a dock.

The most underviewed, underrated channel on TH-cam. I wish you both the most success possible! The intro with the commentary has a real discovery channel feel. Great work.

Hi, what brand is the line roller you have. I cant find anything which fits in a rod holder. I have a Parker 760 Quest and have rod holders in the same position. Thanks for info.

hugs. i'm "justthink". utube took that down for no reason. great info. please try to include a map of where you are.

Hello, folks. Looks like a pretty area of the country. You used some nice background guitar. (Added to the peacefulness, of the scenery.) Keep up the great videos. My wife always gets excited when she sees a new video posted. Kind regards, Ted and Patti in NJ

Congratulations on 50 episodes

Has anyone tried the Cutwater C24 boat , I think it’s made by the same company as Ranger Tugs ? Thanks 🙏

my just think got taken down. this is me. hugs

You guys are Great. I enjoy your videos very much. You are real and work together as a Team. That is so nice to see. 😊

I was in the US Navy and spent about a year of my life at sea (was an officer for four years). I drove warships from the bridge and even taught others "The Rules of the Road" as I was the only one to get a perfect score on the test given to my ship's crew. I've had countless hours of maritime safety training and drills and spent countless hours on watch on the bridge. I also have been on about a dozen cruise ship cruises and been on sailboats on the Great Lakes many times. I understand how sailboats work but I am kind of a clutz working them (I like power boats). I like many features of the Ranger Tugs as they check off many of the boxes I learned about for seaworthiness when I was in the navy. I would never think of taking many private boats out on the Great Lakes or the ocean as safety is a primary concern. I've seen waves go over the bows of destroyers and ever carriers in bad seas. Having a strong enclosed bow and enclosed bridge with excellent visibility is a must. I will eventually get a boat like this when I retire or close to when I retire in 25 to 30 years. However, having both the time and money for a boat like this is a challenge before retirement. With my work, I could afford one but then I'd have no time to use it. I also live in North Dakota near family so quite far from the ocean or the Great Lakes. I like going on international vacations to Europe and other continents and that's hard to do with a boat when I only have two weeks of vacation per year. I would have a blast taking this boat on cruises on the Great Lakes, down the intracoastal waterways from Texas to New Jersey, island hopping in the Caribbean, and even going up some rivers. I like the R-23 to R-27 as they have outboard motors with easy access. I'd probably lean most towards the R-27. I think I'd really enjoy the freedom. I'd much rather have a nice car (just a nice Mustang and nothing too fancy), boat, and airplane (just a small bush plane) than a big house. I like to travel, and I like practical and not fancy.

Appreciate the comments on Starlink and your other improvements.

Beautiful Boat!

Love your videos, just had a question about your reserve engine. Say the main quit and you drop the reserve 9.9 long shaft in and start it up, how do you steer? Do you use the main engine as a rudder from the pilot house in the boat with the reserve fixed forward and the throttle open? Or would you you stand by on the platform to steer and operate the throttle? Maybe a dumb question but just wondering. Thanks again, Mike

Me and my wife recently purchased a Nordic tug 26 for the same reasons you bought your boat. Thanks for the video’s. Hope to see more

Thank you for the video, I did not realize the difference between surge and electric brakes. The technical information was amazing but honestly I was most grateful for the background scenery as we used to live in Muskoka. I miss tea coloured water, exposed Canadian Shield, freshwater everywhere and central Ontario in early spring (before the bugs arrive). Thank you for the memories.

Yep, the only reason I got 4 wheel drive on my truck was to pull and launch my center console boat easier. 6000 pounds total weight, trailer and boat. I never even spin on the ramp.

This was an excellent video. We spend a lot of money on these boats and must spend the money to protect our investment. Thank you

Suggest you cross every chains to allow the trailer to not sway if coupled comes off the ball

never owned a 2 wheeler , but even up here in nth iowa a 4x4 is the norm, if I had that togue weight I would like a tonner not necessarily a dually but bigger brakes, good vid

Did you have the boat lifted out of the water or do you use a boat ramp? What do you use to tow your boat?

Much prefer these saltwater pigs to their mainland mudbound cousins. 😅 Living vicariously though your wonderful videos, thanks! 🖖

Awesome just absolutely awesome. Congratulations!

Great run. Inspirational. Thanks for sharing your journey.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you two on your adventures. Do me a favor and follow me as well and I hope there will be more adventures coming soon.

Just curious what editing app do you use?

Definitely get a radar and auto pilot. Haul color is great . Nice video and nice boat .

I agree. My 28ft boat pulls way nicer then my 22 rv trailer.

Nice video, what model Highfield boat do you have?

Excellent video, excellent channel. The music is actually a song called Ghost of a Chance by Canadian band Rush.

Thanks for sharing all your Bahamas adventures - we’ve really enjoyed them! A question about servicing your Yamaha outboard. Did you do all service yourself, or did you find a place in the Bahamas that would haul Sea Nest and do your Yamaha 100 hour services?

I'd love it if you'd do a recap of this season, maybe showing maps and where you started from, where and what you did and where you're returning to.

Is this old footage, just now released? Where were you headed that it was that far below freezing recently??... Safe travels. Enjoy the ride.

Love your videos! Just wondering, you sailed to the Florida Keys and on the return trip, you're driving back to Ontario, Canada? How did you get you vehicle there in the Keys? is it a rental? Thanks

it's like turning the last few pages of a good book.... you don't want it to end but fondly look back at the story just told.

We're watching you from Washington State, and really enjoy seeing your adventures in the warm water. Our waters aren't exactly warm enough to do a lot of swimming in. We really enjoy how knowledgeable you both are about all the sea critters and boating in general. It's like a fun little class every week! Thanks!

Hi from Australia, Looking forward to your fresh water adventures

Guys time permitting, let me know what marina did you use at the keys. My issue, will my truck and trailer be save while at the bahamas for a couple a months. Thank you for your consideration.

I'm not sure if I missed it in another video. But what did you do with the truck and trailer for the 3 months at sea? Do they have a long-term parking like an airport, at the marina, or did someone pick it up for you than drop it back off at the end of your trip? just wondering incase others would like to do something like this too. thank you.

Actually, your trailering journey would be worth some documenting I think.......!

Sorry to see you guys go... I hope not for long? I've been living vicariously through you for months now, ever since we got our Ranger Tug. We're not quite there with the retirement schedule, but gettin there soon!. I'll probably watch re-runs, Lol. Best wishes and safe travels to (a long way) home!

I'm sure it will feel good to have your legs back on the shore for a while I'm heading down to Miami with my big boat next month I'll keep the water warm for you!

Another great video, livin a life I wanted, but hey thats the way it goes

Sorry to see you leave your sea sojourn. I took immense pleasure from seeing your weekly videos and seeing a little of what you see. Just a note on your comment about living by the sea and rust. I love at a seaside town in England and if you don't stay on top of things rust can become your greatest enemy. Once again thank you for taking me with you your journey. Xx

Love your videos, my wife and I want to go the Bahamas on our boat, maybe one day.

Quarantine flag?

Great job Captain!

The Great Harbour Cay Marina was a nice place to stop to prepare things for your trip back to the U. S. of A. Glad you had some spare time to check things out on the island. It was interesting to check out the resort that has been closed for a long time that famous people partied at.

You guys are a great part of my life. Thank you!

you need to trim your dinghys outboard way up, its gonna help you gaining more top speed :)

Hows the boat? You don’t talk about it a lot but is it serving your needs? Looks like it’s a nice manageable craft.
