    What a experience. Scaring. I give a thumbs up to your first mate.

    No worse feeling than watching a squall heading for you. It gets your guts churning and makes riding it out feel like an eternity.
    Watching your wife getting drenched because there’s no choice also adds to it.She was a real trooper out there-let her know all the viewers are proud of her. You both did great under that pressure.Hope the next leg of the trip is uneventful.

    Thunderstorms are horrible on a boat. You did great, all three of you!
    Wishing you calm seas tomorrow 👍

    Must have been like a wind tunnel in the lock chamber when the storm and high winds came through. Good job all. Hopefully that’s the biggest challenge you experience. I think you both earned a couple docking beverages 🥂cheers.

    They say good weather never made a good captain (or crew). Great job as a crew getting through that storm. I hope the damage is minimal. Happy Ours is a tough boat and y'all are a tough crew. C & G.

    Well in other good news .. it didn't turn into a 3 hour cruise result. Congrats Good way to Pull Through... Lessons learned, nerves rattled, memories made, & Mattie didn't get so scared that he backed one out on.😊 the boat

    Great job on handling that sporty weather. Storms are beautiful to watch on a video but when you are in it and you are responsible for others’ safety, it’s a different ball game. Incredibly stressful… been there…goes from fun to terror in minutes. At very least it was still light out and you have a large vessel to weather it in. Looking forward to your next installment. I knew this one would have a rain component because I was watching it (the weather) on the news and told my wife, “Oh crap… that’s right where Happy Ours is!”
    Sending a virtual docking beer to you…

    Getting caught out in a big storm is no fun, especially since you can't see anything! Glad you're all safe and I'll look forward to the video on rub rail repair.

  • @rexphinney3599
    @rexphinney3599 5 месяцев назад +2

    Boat trips are sometimes work, sometimes an adventure but never "vacation". Yet we do them anyway LOL It's especially tough when having to go stop to stop every day. Hopefully you're planning to spend a few nights in one place, that helps. Thanks for the footage

    WE got caught in a storm like that in the Lake Champlain canal system when cruising to Old Port Montreal, Canada! It was tough but we made it. Great job guys!! I think a docking martini was in order actually!!

      Hey Jesse! Thanks for saying hi! We liked that anchorage but nowhere to walk Matey. Best of luck brother.

    • @JesseFitzpatrick-e9y
      @JesseFitzpatrick-e9y 5 месяцев назад +1

      @AdventuresofHappyOurs across the canal was a park you should have been able to walk. I've never been though.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  5 месяцев назад

      @JesseFitzpatrick-e9y yes a little boat ramp too where I took Matey for a walk which was nice.

    Admiral, take a lesson from me; don’t put yourself to far out over the bow of the boat, or you may be going in for a swim. I was only on a lake in calm water, so thankfully all that was injured was my ego 😅. Stay safe you guys!

    The Admiral is liable to be staring at a Court Martial if that attitude persists.

  • @BigSwede58
    @BigSwede58 5 месяцев назад +1

    That storm looked like it sucked.And I sort of agree with Bridget that she wasn’t happy about doing so much and probably be afraid at the same time.But when you’re doing a 2 person cruise,unfortunately that stuff is going to happen.

    @Buzzinho-pn6rf 5 месяцев назад +1

    The Admiral needs to learn how to operate that boat! If something happens to the Captain the whole crew and boat could be in grave danger. Otherwise, keep up the good work and keep smiling!

    That looked like a rough one. Glad you guys were able to get tied up safely. Is Matey using the fake grass on the boat yet?

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  5 месяцев назад

      Matey hasn’t taken to the astroturf. But he has no choice tonight. Were anchored with no dinghy access to shore atm

    If you use a 24 hour time you would never have to figure if it is AM or PM.

  • @larrykaminski3269
    @larrykaminski3269 5 месяцев назад +1

    Damn, quite the gully washer. You both remained calm and methodical. I admire your teamwork. Bridget hang in there. You were patient not whiny or mad. Get the captain to get you some rain gear for the next storm. All in all, just another boating experience. I had many as Captain Larry's Adventures in the PNW and South Florida.👌👍✌️

    @morpheus3190 5 месяцев назад +2

    What am I missing? Why didn’t you go straight down the west coast to key West? Why go through the lake? Btw I hate the lake, think it is gross and a pita. Never again. Besides you could have made a side trip to the fort. lol.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  5 месяцев назад +1

      Wanted to do east coast, Fort Lauderdale, Miami. Bucket list.

    guys, I like your channel. we have a similar size boat and we travel a lot in it. don't take offense, but you really need to invest in some descent mics. listening to your video is downright painful. again, I'm not trying to offend you.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  5 месяцев назад

      Some wind we just can’t help. We try our best to minimize it but it’s on a boat.
