    if you are going to be dropping anchor in swamps ect where the bottom could be full of debris and roots id highly recommend an anchor trip rope, on the base of you anchor there is another attachment point, this is for the trip. so then if you can not lift it with the main rope you can get it with the trip as it pulls the anchor out of debris or obstruction backwards.

    You were SO lucky to not have an engine failure with all of that debris in the water! The motor could have clogged up so easily and then the cooling water would not have been able to get into it. You've dodged another bullet kids! Sure was nice of that "Lock Lady" to pull you through! Your heater looks more than adequate to warm up the cabin, plus I loved hearing that you were putting it outside when done with it. Traveling with you is an interesting experience indeed.

    Go to the retaining wall. Shut down your motor, tilt your motor. One on the bank pulling boat with a line. The other keeping boat off wall, deploy fenders...

    Nice to see your old boat shine so sweet on your adventures together. I like your boat. Good team work. It might of worked if you stuck that pole off the front of boat in line with the engine and that seems safer too. You both got through safe that's more the point. Sweet! It's unusual that your boat did not have a name. I like the one you chose. One boating danger is getting hit by a big boat. Glad you were not in harms way. Without doubt that heater is for outside only. Plus I recall carbon-monoxide stays low. So you don't want it sitting in your hauls. May I suggest a great down sleeping bag or even better a nice little wood stove you can burn beach and forest wood in to toasty the nights. Installed fire proof safe that is. Likely sitting on a big strong ceramic tile with a big piece of metal around the pipe where it goes through the body and then a safe place for the out side pipe to blow smoke and heat plus a screen to make sure not ashes flow out. ... just ideas. there is likely more too it. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

    If luck is navigation you guys have hit the mother load for sure, every time you hit the water you will learn something and what not to do, you guys put a smile on my face i have owned many boats in my time and never really had a serious problem while boating. Keep your nose into the wind, keep your boat dry and sail like you mean it.

    Rookie!! You need to give her hell when the weeds get thick like that. The water being displaced by the motor will push them out of the way. I’ve been pushing my way through passes like that since I was 12 haha. Flooring it in reverse will clear the prop as well. Good series!

    Here's a tip you might find handy... Make a simple pole with a small "L" shape lever at one end. Fashion it with a hook to reach the handle built into to motor cover at the end of the "L" bracket. Essentially creating an arm to lift the motor from the boat. Next time you hit thick weeds, put the motor in neutral, lift the motor up so weeds fall off, drop the motor, put in forward and proceed until jammed again. if you do it quickly there's no need to shut off motor, just be sure your in neutral. another option is two push poles, it appears very shallow there.

    Extend the chain to the other end of your danforth anchor and fasten it with a shackle so that when you pull it up it comes up out of the mud a lot easier without it digging in when hauling back aboard over the bow.

    As small tip from a swedish sailor, if u ever get stuck in duck weed or similar. Tilt up the engine like 30' isch with a piece of wood or something and get some more gas. Then less will stuck at the rig of engine and the prop will work as a kitchen blender and cut the weed.

    I cannot look away from this train wreck I really hope that by the time y’all get to Florida y’all have some idea of what y’all are doing. Cmon guys do not anchor your boat then go to sleep in the middle of the waterway find a safe spot off to the side. Last video y’all passed a safe anchorage and this time y’all anchored right in the path on a bend. I’m rooting for y’all to succeed but don’t do stuff like that. It’s unsafe for y’all and the boaters around y’all.

      We actually anchor out every night and haven’t stayed at any marinas so I don’t know. But progressive has a great plan for liability insurance if you just want something that covers other boats, marinas, injuries, etc. it’s $100 per year. It wasn’t extra to add another driver. And I found that going to a higher tier of coverage didn’t cost any extra either. Weird but great!

      I wondered as much. In Virginia also they're suppose to take a boating education course for a license. It covers the flotation devices, the lights, what you need for coast guard compliance, safety, navigation ect. I don't think they took that. I can understand though why they're using the icww though. If they left at the end of October for Florida they may have been fine but this time of year the gusts and storms can get wicked in the Atlantic going towards Florida.

      devildogae It is a little bit like the 1960 time hippies with a just do it attitude. I’ve been around, owned and built multiple boats and know they are doing things in ways that I just would not do. But I really enjoy watching them learning in a reasonably safe area.

      Call me what ever you want mate😉. And yes, it’s not rocket science.
      You can harm the prop, and surly damage the “stick” when they contact. But pls tell me how the “stick” can harm you.
      Think of leverage. And calculate the speed of the prop. There is no way that the force (if you in some magical way manage to actually get the stick inside) due to leverage make some harm to the person holding it.
      Yes, no rocket science, just basic physics.
      And b4 you start bashing my English, it’s my third language, so pardon for misspelling and grammar.

      I was thinking the same thing, but if it puts smiles on people's faces I guess that's all that matters. But kakaw is pretty close to dodo to me.
      What's a french word for a roosters crow in the morning maybe sound better. I dunno, just my thoughts.
      Also, I really love your video's. You're living the dream. Im just curious to know how the house boat will tie into the catamaran boat. Lol..
