mydream, to live on the river, in a houseboat... 11 year survivor of Pancreatic cancer... im in Cape Girardeau Mo, area, on Mississippi river.. 😎👍 much luv and respect ♥️
Awesome video!! I have never locked through meldahl but we lock through Markland just about every weekend. Made the trip to Madison a couple times but not recently. The trip we want to do is the kentucky river trip to Franklin. Have yet to do it maybe one of these days.
I would have said this even if I'd seen it last year, "Why you want to get your heart broken to watch that game?" Sorry, had to do it as a Tennessee fan. We went to the Tennessee UK game last year. Hard fought on both sides. Have always been curious if there were enough marinas/fuel stops heading up river for a pleasure boat to get to Pittsburg. Any idea?
I have a picture in my mind of Admiral Porters gunboats traveling that same section on their way to the battle of Forts Henry and Donaldson. Historic waters.
you skipped out on vevey in. carolton ky madison in, madison power plant, and i think you can see marble hill or whats left of it from the river view.. that was my fishing waters for many many years..lol
How old is your boat? I'm guessing early '80s model? Thanks for making this video. I've been away from boating 20 years and want to get back into it with a cabin boat for cruising.
I'm new to boating. In order to travel from one state to another, do you have to do anything legally? Or can you just register your boat in your state and go anywhere?
@@DustySmalls Thanks. What about sleeping? I see you paid to sleep, but I would love to just drop an anchor somewhere for some solitude. Are there rules for that?
@@ricksomething we've done that before. But the Ohio has a pretty strong current. And it's nice to tie off to something solid. I sleep better knowing my anchor won't drag.
@@westtexasdave2140 Marinettes are heavy boats and do good in rough water. Plus they are aluminum which makes them strong. Any Marinette would be a good loop boat.
If you spent 200$ in gas and the gas was $5.00 a gallon so you use 40 gallons of gas at 5$ a gallon that=200$ so 40 gallons that pretty good to go 220 miles
That's comfortable weather around you.... nice trip...

...( subbed up too 😇)
I have alway read about this river. I have crossed the Columbia river, thanks for sharing.
Wow, I live in the Ohio River around Louisville and had no idea I could boat to Nashville. This would be awesome. #bucketlist
Wow, I didn't know the Ohio River was such a "beautiful road"! But in your video, we ''saw a lot Mrs...😄😄
Thanks for letting me cross that off
my bucket list

Thanks for making it.
Super adventurous! Beautiful video
I live right across the river from you and I've wanted to do this in my little antique boat

Wonder if that Majestic Showboat is the same Majestic Showboat that my grandparents took me on to see a show some 65 to 70 years ago?
It's a river cruise line. they own a lot of boats on the Ohio.

92'
Great video. Is there a fee to go thru the locks?
Nope, free
White smoke coming out of exhaust is not good, cooking issue, or head, I have same boat...

Register on your state like a car.

You didn't put your vest on right. The strap goes under that yellow band of material.
Thanks Magellan
Just seen your video, what Re you asking for your boat
Sorry she sold this spring.
I guess I missed it. What kind of boat did you do that on?
Marinette Marquis 37'
@@DustySmallswhat’s your opinion on how that boat would be on choppy open water? I’m in the early stages of looking for a Great Loop boat.

That whole trip looked so depressing and the water so ugly
Like your mom
How much fuel did you use on your 220 miles
Not sure exactly but close to a couple hundred I'd say
How much was gas a gallon
@@lillianmarion2939 each marina was different. But around $5
