For Hurricane season you two should go to St Mary’s marina and storage yard. It is on the St Mary’s river that runs between FLA and Georgia. One of the few DIY yards that allow live aboard. Friendly place. The yard is in Georgia
Hey! This is not the first time that someone mentioned that we should go to St Mary’s, so it must be a good deal there! Right now we’re still planning for a southward escape from hurricanes, but thanks for the info!
Better yet head for Brunswick, GA
It really doesn't make me want to sail there. Very happy to be in Cabo Verde with its own difficulties and advantages. Me and my boat love this side of the Atlantic
We really didn’t want it to be the case, but anchoring/sailing in Miami area is not a shining review…looking forward to finding those other paradises out there!
Miami used to be cruisers paradise. Not so much now. So many good cruisers harassed by Miami law enforcement. Ive seen it with my own eyes. Be careful in South Florida ive lived here my whole life and in 2012 my sailboat was hit head on in the middle of Biscayne bay by a careless powerboater. Its on my channel in one of my oldest videos. Thanks for sharing the video of the police confiscating legally moored dingys. They break the laws while wearing a badge, they are a disgrace.
We’re worried everyday about getting hit by power boaters and jetskis! We will look for your video.
@@sailorama it doesn't show the actual accident just the damage after. My 26 Westerly was basically destroyed and their insurance company gave me the runaround for a long time. All these South Florida boats have 3 and 4 engines and captains who have no idea how to use them. I would say be safe out there but after watching some of your vids you guys are both more than competent skippers so I'll say watch out for the idiots!
When there is 330 million people living in a country, and 22 million of them in Florida, you have a huge pool of a-holes, many of them ignorant of sailing, and unfortunately, many without the slightest desire to learn. Sorry for your difficulties.
Thanks for watching! Sorry you feel sorry! Not the feeling we hope to give you…but yes, the ignorance has been overwhelming, although obviously there are a-holes everywhere.
Welcome to Florida, America’s very own sphincter. This is just how they roll!
They see me rollin…
Florida's a big place. Miami is a small part of it. Most of it is rural like most places. The north of Florida is polar opposites of the South not only culturally but geologically.
@@adamtedder1012 That is of course very true
I mean, it looks like a whole other body part, though.
@SideYardCat 🍆
Peopl dont realize the ICW used tomstill be used for freight as late as the 90's long cargo ships would take cars and shipping containers down the ICW. They would go on a schedule almost like trains they would radio ahead to the bridges so they didn't even have to slow down.
Great content. Its giving me a different perspective of living and curising S. Florida water ways. The welcoming and the non welcoming. Its a hard life style and its changing daily. Good luck to you and in your travels. Peace...!
You pretty much summed it up! Good and bad, challenging and ever-changing. Thanks for tuning in!
fun fact...the blue cranes at 4:55 are where they filmed the final fight scene from Iron Man 3 LOL
Thanks for the movie trivia! We love hearing these kinds of tidbits!
Yep☺️👍🙏
Florida looks challenging. (Your salad, however, looked delicious.) 😎🥰👍
Exactly - these are the challenges here. Thanks! Fried potato and salad is a go-to meal for us here.
I loved the "dirty lens" effect. Very creative.
That’s no effect 😂 I use the camera a lot and the dust is inside the lens forever.
My wife and I live here, on the south side of the Miami River 12th Avenue bridge. We call it "Little Havana." We both grew up here. Are you guys still around?
Send us a message on facebook!
Good job!
Thanks!
Boats need a bide-a-wee to transfer directly to New owners.
We think that easier ownership transfer is a solution as well.
Blow boaters and I am one have done this to themselves as far as no one wants us around . A lot just abuse their surroundings , poop in the waters , mooch shore connections , etc. yup
Justine, you should be a politician...lol. Too bad we didn't get to link up before hurricane season. I'm heading to the Caribbean after hurricane season, so maybe we'll catch up then. Stay safe.
Thanks - I love being on the ocean too much though. Perhaps we'll see you out there next season, indeed!
Nice job anchoring on your own Justine 👍Not easy with your boat's current setup.
Is it possible to rig up some ropes and pulley's or sheaves so you can pull on the ropes in the cockpit to change gears? Even if not a permanent solution anything that saves you going below to change gears would be an improvement.
Thanks! What is needed is a very heavy duty lever/cable to shift gears - the transmission of our engine is REALLY hard, finicky, and will not stay in neutral - nothing that can be jury rigged ropes, unfortunately.
@@sailorama Maybe you need some mechanical advantage, can you attach a longish bar to the lever (even if it's so long it almost touches the underside of the cockpit floor) and then jury rig something, there must be a way to make something work with out you having to spend a fortune (which I know you don't have), if we can put our collective brains together surely we can figure something out 🤞
Indeed, we did think about installing a big metal bar, which would help a little bit to shift gears by hand - but then make the entire cabin under the cockpit unusable and make it impossible to close up the engine to dampen sound. We’ve seen the giant gear cable control lever that we need used, but on the long list of items we’re trying to get.
What was the purpose of you going to Florida? To haul out?
1. To get epoxy, paint, boat equipment. 2. To hopefully haul out - but that aint happening 😂
@@sailoramasee you hauling out in Dominican republic???
A toy is not a vessel.
Yeah, we didn’t think so either.
South Florida was destroyed a long time ago. I moved to Pompano Beach in 1973. It was paradise. Unrecognizable today. They don’t know when to stop building.
Yes, we’ve been hearing this often - used to be a paradise for sailors, but no more.
Welcome to Miami, They were really nice to you. You weren't shot at, and your dinghy was still there when you returned. Nobody took your boat or sank it when you left it on the ball to go ashore. Don't swim in the water, agricultural pollution causes unnaturally large blooms of antibiotic resistant flesh eating bacteria which kills people every year. Don't eat locally caught seafood for the same reason.
It was a challenging visit - we do feel lucky!
Not welcome in Sebastian FL 3 days then stink like fish ...Plus I've had two tender stolen there....
Yikes!
Miami sucks but it is super pretty if you don’t look too close
Very beautiful city if you don’t wade too far into the weeds, we have to admit!
Very educational... Hey can you add some dead cats for your mics and deep creep penetrating oil to the wishlist for me to send ya???
Hope you salvaged more parts like a large deck cleat for the anchor chain to take the slack off the windlass? Wondering if adding a transmission fix lube might help like Lucus products... the deep creep for everything external is the BOMB!!! No doubt you have saturated it w/ wd40 but that just cleans and disperses water imho...
Very interesting about the lube - thank you - however our gearbox
shares the engine oil/is filled with engine oil. We just think that because it’s so ancient, it was meant to be used with a giant metal bar lever or something, and then it was disassembled/reassembled at the shop in Mexico, and remained very stiff - only then, with even more issues (will not remain in neutral). Anyways! That’s all to say that we appreciate the thoughts from everyone here about how to get it shifting smoothly and from the cockpit, but we don’t know if that’s possible without total reconstruction/a new transmission. I’m looking for a dead cat now (ohh morbid) - the bad sound is 90 percent of the time when recording with the GoPro 10, which requires a special mic 🎤
Appreciate your balanced Commentary bottom line AVOID SOUTH FLORIDA!!
Avoid, or just expect these kinds of challenges. ✌️
Just got through sailing around Florida, Pensacola, the whole west coast, keys/Marathon, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Stuart, St, Augustine and escaped north, currently in Beaufort, heading for the Chesapeake area. Florida - Does Not Like Cruisers. Probably the best, most welcoming city to anchor-out cruisers is Stuart FL, the worst is the Miami area. Otherwise , FL is "meh" (if you are being kind) unless you are a multi-millionaire and/or a *very* important person to whom no-wake zones or vessel courtesy doesn't apply.... We passed you guys heading south on my way heading north. Our decision was to try to skip GA and Florida entirely in the future, just using FL as a Bahamas jump-off point to the extent possible in the future. Florida has waaaaaaaay too many boats (derelict and otherwise) and they do not want more (as your are seeing).
Good summary of Florida sailing - Did we see each other? Hope we waved! Cheers. Hope your journey has been pleasant up near Beaufort so far 👍
Your national flag has me curious? I can't find it on Google. Please educate me.
Thanks for asking! That is the canadian indigenous flag.
@@sailorama ok, that's great.
I'm getting a bit of PTSD watching your video...
Sorry 😆
@@sailorama No worries, keeping it all in humor. 😅
Florida - Specifically Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties are filled with transients from northern/western states, and a LOT of people from other countries. Those people make things difficult for native Floridians. All of the BS we deal with in FL is attributed to non-native people.
I didn’t see the difference between a native Floridian anchoring their boat and northerner/westerner anchoring their boat. All I know is that I saw a bunch of motor-boating, partying booze-cruisers throwing garbage on the beach.
@@sailorama Miami is filled with non-natives. If they have enough money down there for a boat, and throw trash everywhere, they are most likely from somewhere else.
Should have pumped your holding tank when you passed Mara Largo
😆
