Very informative. Thanks for showing how you live on that beautiful boat!

You two are living the dream 👏 How do you get your boat from Florida to Ontario ?

he's fishing even when he isn't fishing! 🤣🤣🤣

hi i am peter 62 years old from europe and i must say i like you guys very much , if i was living there i buy me a 25ft tug like yours and you gone be my friends for sure because all the things you are doing that is me also.....🙂 greetings

Very cool, thanks ya'll!

Does your boat have heat or AC?

I have been enjoying your videos of Georgian Bay area. All I can think is how great a boat like that would be for travelling the Trent-Severn and Rideau waterways. Have you been up the Severn at all? I think you’d enjoy the section from Port Severn to Lake Couchiching anyway. That’s an area I know well, by 15’ fishing boat anyway. 😉

Beautiful little anchorage 👍👍🇺🇲

Love your style of video talking and casual talk!Great videos 🎉

Quick question, you mentioned running a generator. Are you, then, running a portable generator to charge house batteries? Thanks for sharing - currently looking into a Jeanneau 795.

You are great. Want to the do the Loop when I retire in a few years. Looking to see if wife and I could survive on a smaller boat that doesn't need a lot of work or larger than needs some. Break downs suck! We've pretty much been apart for last 2 years because her mom is needing 24/7 supervision . We get occasional weekend, a vacation or two and try to lunch every Friday. She'll be home for 4 days this Labor Day weekend. Living together for a year on a small boat might not be the best idea

No need to run ethanol free if you run the boat regularly.

Which blueberry mix etc do you use. Just milk?

This was so helpful showing extra storage ideas. Thank you

Loved the video !

Lovely tour and channel. Just subscribed. Last month we were up in Southampton on Lake Huron, which is beautiful, then we drove up to Tobermory Ontario what a beautiful place

Great video, I’ve never seen that part of the country. Do the shoals and reefs show up on the maps/nav?

First time I have ever commented on a You Tube Channel-:) Yes - excellent content and videos! Two quick questions: 1.) Do you still love your Ranger 25 - is the quality top notch? ( we are in the process of seriously looking to purchase one ) 2.) What do you call / how can I get that spool system you have for your stern anchor. Thank-you! Peter

Such an awesome channel! Great editing and pacing. So interesting and informative. I'm a couple of years from retirement and wanting to explore the Great Lakes and maybe the Great Loop at some point. The Ranger Tug has definitely gotten my attention as a possible platform. Cheers!

How deep is the channel?

Where did you find the reel for your stern tie line? Does the reel mount to a bracket that goes into a pole holder hole?

Fabulous video! ❤️ You are right. The scenery along your route was absolutely beautiful. The area around the sportsman lodge looked really cool with a beautiful marina. 😎😎 I spotted another Ranger Tug there with what appears to be a Washington registration number? Did you meet up with owners?

❤

Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I love Georgian Bay! I worked at a summer camp as the Tripping Director and I chuckled at Julia’s comment, on her paddling background. I immediately pictured a group of sun-kissed young people in a “raft” of canoes, legs draped over each other’s gunnels, asking, “who has the food pack?” To walk barefoot on the smooth pink Canadian Shield is a sensory connection to the last ice age. It’s so hard to pick a favourite area, so I will choose a few. The white “mountains” of Killarney were life changing to this southern Ontario boy. The islands and shipwrecks around the Massassauga Provincial Park are amazing. And finally the interface between limestone bedrock and exposed Canadian Shield in the waters just off Victoria Harbour are visual reminders of our geological history. (Sorry, earth science nerd.) Thank you for the video.

Great video. You can get a “luxury edition “ Ranger Tugs with down rigger mounts, you just have to ask for the mounts when ordering the boat . We’ve owned R25 and R27 luxury editions outboard boats , both had factory installed down-rigger mounts and wiring.

Great banjo melody. Thank you, for sharing. Another beautiful cruise. God bless you two

Great to see a radar.....i was woundering when you will get one 🙂 - I just purchased two Scotty Downrigger for my Parker 760Quest. Can't wait to do some fishing again....

Why such a small boat? Those rangers are expensive. You can get a 34+ foot trawler for less then 50k and restore and still be less then that ranger. We just got a 34 mainship we plan on doing the bahamas in only runs about 8 knots but only 2 gph and has onboard genset and water maker. Seems like you could be more comfortable and spend less on fuel... you like going really fast? Plus not flushing that outboard is not the best scenario either.

Great info and great delivery - many thanks! (Have owned two Quigley vans and agree 100% with your review)

Love your videos and your adventures in the Bahamas. I live in Tampa and also planning to go to the Bahamas for some adventures of my own. How often do you flush your engine and how do manage to do that off grid for an extended period of time?

Shivery is over! Send your wife to tie off? Seriously 😂 Beautiful place

Shame there’s no fish locker? Where do you store your catch until it’s processed? I don’t even see a good spot to mount a cooler that wouldn’t be in the way? Love the look of the ranger tug but wonder how it fishes. Thx

Michael really stepped in it this time....

Heaven on earth.

I like your version of the poem better.

Interesting to hear the technician regarding fuel... Yamaha states that their outboards will run E10 fuel no problem. Is that not the case? Obviously we all like clean fuel better, but its not always available.

Love these videos, just found your channel so I am discovering the historical record lol

Its crazy when there is that slight fog on the horizon and you can't actually see where the ocean and the sky meet. Very cool.

Awesome video! Do you also do small engine flushes when in the Bahamas on extended trips? Keep up the great content, I see this channel blowing up!!

You guys docked at the marina I keep my boat at 😂

Love the PNW. Lived here for two years, sadly will have to move next year due to the military.

Tying off to trees is a big no no in places like the Thousand Islands. Park staff will fine. To say its ok if only a few do it is not a valid reason. If the authorities say do not? Then dont. Maybe Georgian Bay is different and ok with the authorities but many areas it isnt.

Might I ask what you paid for her? Regards, Fred

I really appreciate your videos from the bottom of my soul. I currently single hand a small sailboat in the PNW, but I am considering either an R-23 or R-25. I absolutely love sailing, but I am sort of at a crossroads where I think the exploration part of boating trumps the sailing part for me. I would like to more safely and efficiently get to places to explore. If you think storage is a premium on a small tug, let me tell you about a small sailboat. Obviously the price is a major detractor from me jumping to my goal, but I know ultimately I can afford one and I understand the "price" of boat ownership. Your videos are helping me make a very important decision.

As a sailor myself, I will never be caught without a lifejacket when in blue water or even inlets. Granted, sailing is much more involved than this type of cruising, but you never know if you need to move about the boat in a split second.

Beautiful where you are there. I always thought Georgian bay was crystal clear for snorkeling 🤿

Great video. What is the make and model of your boat? Very nice set up 😮

The tell tale (water outlet) is not be dependent on a thermostat opening. It is purely to indicate water flow through the pump. I check ours every time on every motor. If no water, usually the telltale is plugged but not always. Zip tie or thin wire to clean it, but if that doesn’t work then the pump might not be working and bad bad. Same for waverunners, tell tale is on the side of the hull.

Hey guys, I have spent the day watching your videos. I sold my 40’ trawler 3 years ago and now live in the smoky mountains North Carolina. I have really enjoyed watching your adventure on your ranger. I have to say it has kindled a spark in my love of cruising. I have two cats that have been from fixed home to boat life to motorhome back to fixed home here in the mountains. I don’t think they would want to give up their home here so I guess I will be land locked for now. Will continue watching your videos and maybe one day I will be back on the water. Enjoy and God bless ✌️

Are you going to buy a needle nose plier when you get back?
