Reading your lovely comment made me sport a big smile and I already started sharing it verbally with others... Thank you, I'll always remember those words and I'm super happy that you enjoyed it: win-win! Thank you again :))
Hey and yeah, there’s nothing like balance, and my wife and the boat tip the scale in joyful territory so I’m enjoying the ride. Glad you enjoy the adventures :))
I must say that this has got to be your best video to date and really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work - and keep those corny Dad Jokes coming. Now I know how I sound 🤣
Thanks for the feedback, I'm experimenting and finding my groove and will do for the corny Dad Jokes: you created a "monster" in me my friend, lol. Love those on your channel.
I really enjoyed your video. Boogaboo is were I learned about your channel. We boat on the south west end of Lake Erie. We have a 25 foot Chaparral Bow Rider day boat.
Always nice to hear from a fellow Boater, you have a nice boat with no doubt adventures of your own, so it’s awesome to see and relate with other boaters, right? Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. And yeah, Boogaboo is the source of it all, cheers to you and Paul :))
Thanks for taking us along on your vacation! I love my 340 and have been busy doing some upgrades to Jetlag this summer. This week I am having Fox Marine Gateways installed which attach to the diagnostic computers on the engines and will give me a digital helm on my Garmin chartplotter. We are also upgrading the stereo system to a Fusion system to integrate with the Garmin also. I was curious about the place your spent 4 nights and tied the stern to the tree. Are there snakes up that far north? I am terrified of snakes and kept thinking about one swimming by when you went into the water.
Ahhh, so Jetlag is the name of your boat! Got to love that boat name :) I came up with: "Knot Inn m'Ocean" but my wife wasn't too impressed. I'm right there with you about loving the 340 Sundancer, fist bump. Those are quite the upgrades, can't wait to hear more about them once you have them installed and cruising... more so once retired next year? About snakes... I never saw any in my life but here they are said to be rare and harmless and would only mildly bite in self-defence without consequences, unlike potentially a fox and such. I didn't even know there were any (2 types) until I read your comment and researched it!
Thanks for sharing. You might want to make sure your dock lines are not wrapped around your railings. That puts a lot of stress on them and they are not really designed to handle the load.
Hey my pleasure, glad it has a positive impact. Great observation! Didn’t think anyone would notice. Totally agree. The rare times I use this practice is when the dock cleats are too far away from the boat’s cleats (way misaligned), and, only when there’s no wind, no current, or off-balancing on the boat as to not put excess pressure on the boat’s railing. Still, I don’t like to do it but it’s in keeping the boat tighter to the dock to allow my wife’s easy on and off access to the boat without leaving a gap requiring her to pull the boat closer to the dock every time. That said, I’m totally open to hearing about potentially better alternatives. I appreciate you sharing thoughts, observations and experience among brothers, making things better.
I hear you... As men, many of us have this intrinsic calling for survival adventures alone and such: one week with my wife, then "one week alone" and the last week back together catered to that beautifully. It sometimes feels like nature meant it to be that way (hunters/gatherers), then we're happier than ever to reunite :)

Another great snippet of your adventures. Can't wipe the smile off your face, eh? What a BEAUTIFUL journey!
À la prochaine! 🚢

Love my wife but alone time on the boat would be nice
