- Join Captain Tom and Admiral Brigitt as we make our way down to Florida from NY along the Intracoastal waterway in our Meridian 341 sport bridge. We are traveling Americas Great loop in reverse from NY to Florida to our new hometown in Cape Coral Florida. Follow along on our journey south!
In this episode, it’s day 2 of our trip down the Hudson River. We anchor at a beautiful spot just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge. We quickly weigh anchor and head towards Haverstraw bay to get ready for our weekend raftup party at Croton Park / Halfmoon Bay.
We have a stop at Panco fuel for some cheap gas, have a pump out mishap and are soon infusing alcohol in watermelons and dancing on party floats! Good times!
Omg Brig….love that girl!! Lmao ♥️
Small blocks, nice. That'll help your economy and you guys are having the time of your lives. God bless cause ya only live ONCE.
Danny B Great video looking forward to the full Adventure. Admiral Brigitt is a top shelf crew member.
Brother Dan! Thanks for following along. Can’t wait to see your RVing videos! Lol
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs You would have to show me what equipment to buy and how to use it.
Lol. Smart phone and InShot app.
You guys are our kind of people cheers 🍻
Love being on the journey with you. Miss you, Captain ⚓️
Thank you! Miss our Cruise Director!
Great video! Man, that fuel is expensive!
If you can, don’t fast forward the parts of the video (fireworks). Let it run!
great going Governor Como clean power plant
Stony Point!!!!! So miss that place!!! checking to see if our new boat will Fit there.. Miss Alice !!!
Started watching at Portsmouth but these videos are very well done , so I backtracked to Ep 1. Glad I did . The Hudson, Newburgh, West Point, very scenic. Earlier I watched the crane episode getting you refloated. Great job by all involved. Bridget is the the star though!
Welcome aboard!
Enjoying the videos. We are planning to start the Great Loop next year. Maybe we'll see ya out there.
Great video!!! I so happy I found you guys!!! Great content!!! Life is good!!! Enjoy!!!😎👍
Gotta love those gas prices ; \ .... boating this year was very expensive, and I'm sure it will stay that way for at least two more years. Great video!
Let's pray only 2 more years 😉
I love this so much. I plan on doing this very same trip someday. My home port is in Montrose and I'm always back and forth between Croton Pt, Indian Point, Peekskill, Bear Mountain Bridge and most of all Panco! haha. Hope to bump into you guys out there someday. Safe Travels!!
ouch, that fuel bill. Looks like you had a great 4th though.
Nuclear vs coal... I'm with you. Insanity.
On a brighter note... Enjoying your videos. Thanks for creating these. We boat on the Chesapeake Bay in a 36' Express Cruiser, but it's fun taking in your travels in areas we've never traversed.
We purchased our boat in Northeast MD on the Chesapeake. It was from there we started our first video.
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs We keep our boat across the Bay from Annapolis...on Kent Island. We live in SE VA though, so when I saw the video of you going down the Dismal Swamp Canal towards Elizabeth City, that was a spot we know well. Been right to the Deep Creek Locks in our jet ski numerous times. Never been through there though, but have been through the other way in the boat. We own property just south of Elizabeth City, so I could have told you lots of good spots in NE NC.
Looks like you have moved or are moving to Cape Coral. Hope you guys...and the boat...made out okay with the hurricane.
Safe travels.
Hi Tom. I use to be your neighbor Nickhols Marina. I had 30 Mainship Polit and you use to have Carver. I like your videos. I know you moved to Florida. I moved to florida East coast Boca raton.
One of these days I want to do this same trip. Interesting talking about mishaps with the pump out service, it reminds me of an incident that happened to a boater in 2004 at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City, NJ. Liberty Landing Marina has a 24 hour gas pump and this boater had accidentally filled his entire dukie tank with gas because they mistook their gas fill for their pumpout connection. This happened at like midnight so they were pretty much in a world of hurt because of the gas vapor potential to blow the vessel up. I don't know what they ended up doing but one could only imagine it was probably a VERY expensive fix.
Very dangerous indeed. I double check and confirm with gas dock attendants every time. Also have to make sure they pump gas - not diesel. Many a time I corrected them.
I am really enjoying your videos. This was the dream of my whole family to do. Unfortunately we live on the west coast but been up and down Ca bays.
They closed one nuclear plant over here too
Live the dream!
85 miles per day is going to be a loooong trip.
It was quite the adventure
Next time you’re down the Hudson try to visit Kingston for a couple days. My favorite stop on the Hudson. Nice restaurants and you can tie up at a nice slip facing the town Square
We’ve been there often. We have a couple videos visiting there during our Hudson trip. ruclips.net/video/yn8w-6_Azeo/видео.html
The plant next to Indian Point is NOT a coal fired power plant. It’s a gypsum plant to manufacture sheet rock
You are correct. It sure looked like a coal power plant from the water. Regardless there is a coal plant somewhere picking up the slack for that shut down nuke plant.
Charles point which is just north of Indian point is a garbage burner.
If it's like the TVA plant I'm familiar with in TN. The new style smoke stacks are designed so that they manufacture sheet rock from the material they clean out of the scrubbers that filter the coal smoke. Hence you often see a gypsum board plant right next to the coal fired power plants. They basically need the water to cool and feed the steam turbines and pump the gypsum in a slurry through pipes to a nearby plant. That's my small two cents anyway.
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Actually, as a result of the permanent closing of the plant, three new natural-gas fired plants: Bayonne Energy Center, CPV Valley Energy Center, and Cricket Valley Energy Center were built
Sounds like that would contribute to there horrible carbon creation.
Your cruising looks sooo nice. Indian Point units 2 and 3 were shut down after about 45 years of operation. Mostly due to cheap natural gas suppressing wholesale power prices - but also pressure from environmental groups. (Odd, right?) IP was mostly replaced with 3 new gas-fired plants. Incidentally, that facility next to IP is not a coal power plant - but a gypsum facility (think drywall).
Thanks for info. Do you know where those gas fired plants are that took up the slack?
I'm located just south of Croton
Was the Sunday the 3rd? We left Croton and went back to the dock (marina right next to Panco). We were waving at a drone that got close to us in Croton that day. Possibly your guys drone
Yes we were there the 3rd. I was looking for sailboats and didn’t recognize Artemis anywhere. I’ll have to revisit the videos. Lol
Nuclear power plants are the most efficient power plants. Our government is shutting them down because they're so efficient.
6.59 for disel? Crazy
Highest I’ve seen was $759 for gas in Southport NC. That’s California prices, not NC. Most places have been in upper $5 range.
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs crazy how things have changed there, years ago there was a marina called Viking marina close to Indian point, 28’ Bertram single screw was about 100$ to fill up
Sleeping on Artemis right now
Maybe we’ll see you when you come south!
I think it’s kinda funny that everyone likes swimming at Croton peninsula park, it’s a sanitary landfill.
Interesting! Considering the entire length of the Hudson River is used as the outflow of sewage treatment plants, that’s the least of your worries. Water is still relatively clean. Just avoid swimming after strong rains.
That is not a coal fired power plant and that ship was not delivering coal. It's a gypsum plant and there's also a recycling plant right there. Indian Point was closed because, out of all the nuclear plants in the country, it's the number one most at risk for failure. And if it did, a 50 mile evacuation zone such as they had for Fukushima, would include almost all of New York City. As a long time resident of Peekskill, Cuomo did the right thing.
I’d hate to see rolling blackouts like California has due to lack of power generating sites. Just wish they replaced it with something similar in a safer place , but the power is needed.
Sad isn’t it…there should be more more nuclear power plants and fewer of those…
6:47 there you have ankerboi to hoock up to
Parked mid canal omg
Lucky for you a ship did not come at night.
Omg get real.
Stop park middle of canals for nights.
Crazy done.
For new people THIS IS HOW NOT TO PARK AT ICW ORE CANALS AT ALL.
comersiale comes drown you before you wake up
We are far from channels and anchored safely in the bay of a park.
got some news for you captain , nukes are dirty and cost more to run, burn more carbon fuel to make the plant, heavy carbon to mine the fuel, no were to put the highly toxic spent fuel, cost more to decommission , are very , very, very dangerous, i assume you love the water and oceans you boat on , and the sea life you eat. ask the japanese about nukes with four melted reactor cores they cant get near for thousands of years and tones of radio active cooling water going in to the ocean every day killing every thing.
That's complete horseshit. Nuclear power is clean, safe, and efficient. It just doesn't make climate hoaxers any money.
