Our Sea Trial on an Angry Lake Erie

We should have insisted on a day without 2.5 foot waves and wind gusts of 36 knots for our sea trial. But the old salts insisted we were good to go! First, we were able to scour the boat a month prior, and have the marine surveyor complete his inspection. #chrisandsandraonaboat #boatlife #lakeerie #portdovermarina #portdoverontario #marinesurvey #gothataway #thataway #americasgreatloop

Wow! Quite the sea trail day! So windy and cold. Looking forward to the next videos.

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

Yes it was! How did yours fare when you bought your MT?

[@nancynewton3756]

Great video! I remember that day and how cold it was and was very happy not to be on the boat for the sea trial! Looking forward to the next video.

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

We were happy to come back to Dorchester to warm up! We still have to get you on the boat while we are underway!

Nice video guys. Watching the process is fun. That choppy water would not be for me though. I have terrible sea legs.

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

I'm not the biggest fan of choppy water either. When did you discover you had terrible sea legs? Nfld?

[@jhornett]

@@gothatawaychrisandsandra lol oh yeah! So many ferry crossings to Nova Scotia and one particular one to Labrador. They were torture for me as a kid. I was pleasantly surprised by how calm the water was when I used the ferries in BC though.

Dad getting frustrated with whoever's helping him comes across in video exactly as it does in real life :)

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

Ha! I guess being upside down and stuck isn't the most fun...maybe a bit like the time he was playing with you guys when you were really young and he got his head stuck in the carboard box? :)

[@LibertyTrawler]

The teak decks are already gone. My MT34 still had them

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

I think ours was one of the first not to have them. What year is yours?

[@LibertyTrawler]

@@gothatawaychrisandsandra ours was a 1978

[@Bruce-ks7md]

you need to fire the camera person!

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

It's not Warner Bros! The camera person works for nuthin'. She brings her own equipment and only hassles the talent on Wednesdays. I'm keeping her.
