    I've watched all the episodes of your trip along the inland waterway and really enjoyed them all. As for your wonderful brother I say who needs "The Boss and Neil Young" when you've got him. Lets all keep Rockin in the Free World.

    I flew CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter from Marine home base New River NC. When I got out, I bought a Rinker 26Ft mid-cabin cruiser “Cleared Hot” and lived in Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach. We had so much fun! mid 90s. Just discovered your videos and am really enjoying them!

      Also, I want Brian and his guitar as a shipmate. That guitar playing was perfect for post-ops boating. I look forward to watching more.

    @seancrouse9623 2 года назад +3

    I am really learning a lot from these videos. Clearly, fuel expenditure is a huge issue and it is interesting to hear you talk about managing the RPMs rather than the speed.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  Год назад +1

      Speed will vary depending on conditions like wind and current. It’s not uncommon to have a 2-3 MPH difference in speed due to those variables. However motor RPM equates to fuel burn and is generally consistent unless the boats bottom is heavily fouled with growth.

    Cool engine for the mud boat is called a keelkool and that also is a self contained unit, for strictly antifreeze, day tank just to have above the keels to drain out the air,,

    HOT DAMN...a musical trip down my memory lane - thanks dudes...totally enjoyed the trip [I was singing along at some points when rewinding the video]! And not a glassy eye in sight either. Definitely gonna miss Brian in your videos - any plans for joining up again?! Anyhoo...I see there's still a fair share of 'jackaloons' trying to play captain - they never cease to amaze in the stupid department! Safe travels - be well.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs

      The song that wasn't played that night was "one bourbon, one bourbon, one beer". We had no scotch!
      Captain Tom is always at the top of his game. Not saying this just because he's my brother. He's calm (but not careless), confident (but not cocky), and able to handle any and every situation. He's got experience and he's always prepared. You're always in good hands on his boat.

    • @ross6343
      @ross6343 2 года назад +1

      @@bdemarzo AGREED about your Brother's 'captain skills' - definitely in contrast to some of those jackaloons waking their way to stupidville. Anyhoo...a BIG George Thorogood fan myself...saw the 'Bad To the Bone' dude in several live concerts back in the 80's [my wild and woolly days when I didn't drink alone and should've]. George sure knows how to make that Gibson ES sing! Take care - be well. Cheers...
