We just upgraded to a Luhrs Sportsfisherman and berth in Cape May. Planning a trip or two to Chesapeake City and another to Annapolis and St. Michael’s. LOVE the thin blue line flag! Thank you for flying that. 💙
without question, one of the greatest things about being in the Coast Guard is being out on the water when the surface is as smooth as glass, no wind, and no emergency calls to respond to. in my life, there's boating, SCUBA diving, and music. then there's everything else.
Love your channel and love watching the trip. Wife and I are planning a similar trip. But we aren't planning to go through the dismal swamp --- just something about it looks like your strainers won't love you LOL
Those green flies were crazy! Great strategy to move down the river instead. We didn't realize that you guys had Mercruisers, vs. diesel. Interesting...wonder at what size did they switch?
I had twin gas Mercs, 250’s in our Trojan 32. That was back in ‘74 during the gas crises AND a flooded Mississippi. We hated carrying 5gallon cans over the levees. We did Chicago to Fernandina in two years.
It’s about 1400 miles from Cape May to Cape coral Florida. Assuming 8mph average speed and 14 hour days it would take about 12 days. But there are many variables. Routes taken, stops for gas, weather.. 14 hour days are very long. You need multiple captains to take the helm.
Hi Chris! No, we’re a bit behind the videos. We are currently in Florida! Hope all is well. We often talk about our old “Happy Ours” and all the trips we made with her too. Hope your enjoying it!

Still pond!!! One of my favorite hideaways!

Still Pond was me and my parents always go to anchorage. Great choice to anchor out.
Love this beginning of this run 💪👍 nothing but love brother.
Always love spending time with you two, "the honeymoon couple"
You are getting closer cap.
The Grill, the 3rd most important thing on a boat that actually goes places, after engines and fuel.
Still Pond that is my stomping grounds, we raft up there with friends. Great choice
Hidden gem!
that looks like a great journey. the tablet is very interesting too. have a great trip
It’s a Greenheaded Fly. Unfortunately we do have those here in Md. but luckily they’re only bad at certain times of the year.
Man i would of joined you for this trip

The next video is all about the Dismal swamp. It was amazing but has its drawbacks.
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs used to live near it in Chesapeake, VA. No thanks... I'll go the other way :)

Diesels were an option on the Meridian 341’s. I’m more comfortable with gassers as I’ve worked on them all my life. Suits us fine.
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Who knew? Thanks for the info!

Nice trip! How long would it take overall from cape May to Florida assuming you stopped at dusk at started at day break?
It’s about 1400 miles from Cape May to Cape coral Florida. Assuming 8mph average speed and 14 hour days it would take about 12 days. But there are many variables. Routes taken, stops for gas, weather.. 14 hour days are very long. You need multiple captains to take the helm.
Nice, hassle-free cruising day. Is 8 knots your preferred cruising speed?
I go as slow as time allows. Less $$ and wear and tear on boat. We’ve averaged about 8mph on this trip so far.
how many MPG are you getting? on my 341 coming up from MD to NJ, I got around .5mpg @ 14-20mph.
I’m going slow for most of this trip. So far averaging 1.2mpg at 8.3mph average speed over 1500 miles.
Are you still on the Chesapeake? I’m the owner or your old Happy Hours! I’m on the Bay now!
Hi Chris! No, we’re a bit behind the videos. We are currently in Florida! Hope all is well. We often talk about our old “Happy Ours” and all the trips we made with her too. Hope your enjoying it!
I live on the Bay near the mouth of the Sassafras River. Cool to see this video..
Jeez! That MPG is super low. I gotta expect this trip cost A LOT of $.
Watch the last recap video when we review costs. About $10k in fuel.
How much was your total fuel cost for this trip?
Are you going to be in the upper chesapeake this weekend?
No, we’re currently in Florida. Videos are about 2 weeks behind.
太棒了👏👏也想买只船可以像你一样！
How much are you using the genny vs. relying on battery power to run the fridges etc?
We only run the gen while sleeping for nights we need the air condition. The fridges are dual voltage so run on 12volt most the time.
