    Enjoy visiting the coast and the islands and I loved it before everyone found it. There's treasure everywhere you look. Thank God, no one wants to moved to or visit Alabama or Mississippi ... well used to not want to. I've watched the area's overwhelming growth the last 17 years..

    I'm really loving the boat. It opens up so many possibilities for adventure. I wish there was a way of lining the walls and covering up all those rivets and screws. It would make it so much more comfy looking with a fabric finish

      @@adventureswithfrodo2721 yes I have been involved with boats all my life. Not coastal , but inland waterways in the UK. My farther built hired, converted and sold canal narrow boats, had a boat yard worked with boats until the age of 40. Please tell me the 'reasons'

    You need to throw some solar on the top of that boat. And a suction cup to open and close your window? That's a great idea I could have used that a year ago when my latch fell off.

Going to start a few weekends and overnighters. I work in the medical field and right now it's hard to get time off. Hitting state parks. And Rails to Trails. I have to keep it cheap and close due to I'm on call 24-7. Hopefully my adventures can get better as I get into better shape. Been watching your videos almost every afternoon. Wishing for my own escape.

    Very cool video, Love the Gulf Shores of Alabama. Your boat would be a cool boat to have in the Florida Keys. We lived aboard a 2005 Privilege 615 Catamaran in Key West for 8 years, she was a great boat that we sailed to the Bahamas quite often. We recently sold the Cat and bought a condo in Key Largo, we didn't quit sailing we just down sized, our new boat is a 2020 Corsair 880 Sport trimaran. Corsairs are known for their insane speeds in this one doesn't disappoint. We recently sailed from Key Largo to Key West, we covered the 92.7 miles in 5.7 hours and averaged 14.7 to 17.3 knots and on several occasions reached 21.5 knots. Even at those insane speeds the boat is very stable and easy to sail. As soon as hurricane season gets out of here we are sailing her to the Bahamas, should be a fun trip. Lots of videos on RUclips about Corsairs...

    Just found your channel recently and enjoying the boating content so far. Being new, I have only watched a few videos but already noticed you actively caring about the environment by picking up trash on your adventures. Kudos🤙!!! This video you missed a golden opportunity to get that 2x6 out of the water and save the gelcoat of another boater.😉 That thing was not easy to spot and was definitely a hazard on the waterway.
