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.
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.
Team work makes the dream work! Great job yall! Sure hate to see that dag-gum algae back, but alas it is summer! Praying for ☀️ and calm seas ahead! Thanks for the video & looking forward to the many more to come!😊
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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!
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.👌👍✌️
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.
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.
Love the video's and the yachting thanks and stay safe
What a experience. Scaring. I give a thumbs up to your first mate.

Great footage! It's not all sunshine and unicorns
Thunderstorms are horrible on a boat. You did great, all three of you!
Wishing you calm seas tomorrow 👍

Wow that was hell.Glad u guys got through that
the struggle is real,,, nice job captain
Well, atleast your safe and secure now. Brigette did a fine job. That is hard work without stress.
Team work makes the dream work! Great job yall! Sure hate to see that dag-gum algae back, but alas it is summer! Praying for ☀️ and calm seas ahead! Thanks for the video & looking forward to the many more to come!😊
pretty nasty storm that came. bridget did good helping to lineup with that stern line.
Always an adventure on a boat, some make goods stories later in life.

Martini sounds good!
Hey it was nice seeing you today. I was the 1 in the white tender this morning. My company is Yachting Every Day
Hey Jesse! Thanks for saying hi! We liked that anchorage but nowhere to walk Matey. Best of luck brother.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs across the canal was a park you should have been able to walk. I've never been though.
@JesseFitzpatrick-e9y yes a little boat ramp too where I took Matey for a walk which was nice.
After hurricane Ian, I’d be a mess during storms. Good on you two.
Honestly that’s what happened to our dog. He never had an issue with storms until Hurricane Ian
Crazy wild!
That rain is crazy
Gotta take the bad with the good and make the best of it.
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!
Wow...
Fun stuff!
Good luck crew
Well done mate!
🐟Sorry that part of your trip wasn't the best. Take the good with the bad, right? Here's hoping that the rest of your travels go safe and smooth! 🚤
The Admiral is liable to be staring at a Court Martial if that attitude persists.
Yikes........it's an adventure? 😀😀😀
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.
Nautical!
Hopefully no damage on your starboard side.
Just some abrasion to the stainless rail.
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!
Lets have an adventure He said,It will be fun she said,LOL,Wow,Praying ,In Jesus name for your safety and Calm seas
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?
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.
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.👌👍✌️
Glad you're all OK. Now you have a story that you will be telling for years.
You're on like day 3 and you've already had an adventure.....jeez....
They arent all gonna be great days
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.
Wanted to do east coast, Fort Lauderdale, Miami. Bucket list.

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