Y’ll are the most laidback easygoing likable family I’ve ever watched. We have an R-23 and enjoy watching you guys.
Thanks Unnamed for the kind words we appreciate you taking the time to comment. These little Ranger Tugs are pretty great aren't they?!
Great job by everyone! Another adventure not to be forgotten. Memories!

What I would wish for you, the next time you go walkabout in a dinghy that encounters some rough water, is to actually be wearing your inflatable life vests. Not the minimally useful, hard to don vests you stuffed in the dinghy, but seamanlike wearable inflatables. Mom was great! Lights on, monitoring the radio, making dinner despite her worries...women always seem to make sensible crews.
As the saying goes - you can drown in 6" of water.
They must have been exhausted!!! So glad they made it back safely. Enjoy your Bahamas adventure!
Yes, it was an experience to remember. The Bahamas were fantastic and we will definitely be back.
great video! great adventure for the boys! my best takeaway was the trawler came by and made contact with you. Can't remember how they came to do that or who initiated it but just knowing that the boating community has your back is comforting. I raced catamaran sailboats for years until my brother bought a 36' S2 (ocean cruiser) and we sailed together on in in the galveston bay area (we're Houston based). I spent 4 years in the navy out of Pearl Harbor on WW2 tin can destroyer with a tour in Vietnam so been all over the Pacific and loved being on the open water. Your videos bring back so many good memories! Been thinking about getting a 25' Ranger tug and visit lakes to sail on across the country-nice. Keep the videos coming folks. May you have calm seas and the wind at your back as much as possible.
Jim, it's so nice to have you on board! It sounds like you have had quite a salty life full of adventure and work. We have really enjoyed the time on our little boat and encourage everyone to explore the outdoors in any way they can. The trawler that came by the boat that night to speak with Julia were just out for an evening tour in their dinghy and wanted to check out our anchorage was we were in quite shallow water . Our tug allows us to get into anchorages that many cannot. Luckily, Julia did not need to radio them later that night but it was a comfort to know they were available for sure.
Great Video. Love the content.
We learned many years ago to always bring a handheld radio when out on a dinghy adventure. Saved a ton of anxious moments with a quick radio call back to the mother ship.
Great advice for everyone Jenks! As we mentioned in the video , Michael brought a hand held radio with him. It only worked at a certain distance , so until he was closer to home he was not able to radio Sea Nest.
Hoo boy. I'm a worrier too - I would've gone crazy waiting!
Yes, it was eating away at Julia for sure , as she was having to sit and wait feeling helpless.
Great video with an even better ending!
Glad you enjoyed it! What a relief it was to be home safe. Thanks for the comment. We love hearing from you all .
Fishermen will go to great links to fish for a certain fish. Lol I bet they got a good night's sleep after eating their fish and rice. Do y'all plan on doing more fishing? Are any lobster's around for dinner? 😋
Yes, more fishing to come....always on top of the list for this family ! We did have some luck with lobsters too . Stay tuned....
Glad everyone's ok - that type of sea borne fear is crippling - bit of a shit show though and the dinghy ride back was silly - were they drunk?
Heck no ! Never drink and boat!
i like your videos. i like whqt you do. i want to do it when i retire. i am 28. i want to retire.
Thank you for the kind words. We are actually still working and do this on our off - season. Retirement is on the horizon and great to get skills along the way so you can do crazy things like us when you have grey hair. Enjoy the journey .
“LOST AT SEA.” Really? I watch you for your excellent video content and your Ranger Tug travels and unique commentary. But I reject click-baity titles. Just saying. I realize this is just me.
The point of the title was that we had a discussion on the boat after the incident about the fact that Julia was worried sick and, what precautions we took in case of being stranded at sea as well as what we and others could learn from it. It took us 6 hours to get back. We hit bottom around 30 times with the prop. We walked the dinghy between 5 to 6 miles of flats to get around the island. The next day I could hardly walk. I would have not made it it it wasn't for my 22 year old son that pulled me and the dinghy most of the time. Every half hour we had to pump the water out of the boat due to huge waves crashing over the dingy but we were happy to be heading in the right direction. As a crow flies we were only 7 miles from Sea Nest but it took forever and used every bit of energy I had.
Your nuts leaving a woman alone on the boat by herself in that area
What were you thinking
We know nothing is ever 100% certain, but we always weigh the risks and we all agreed that it was safe. Julia included. There was another boat at the anchorage, and all precautions were taken on the dinghy as well as on Sea Nest. Radio stayed on all day, and when we were in range we used the VHF to radio our location. The problem was that the wind picked up and the little dinghy outboard was terrible and it took us much longer to return . We have since replaced it. Sea Nest was close to shore in an area where tourists visit the blue hole regularly. The video was meant to show that there are always inherent risks and that worry can drive you mad. All that said , we now have double and triple back up plans which are always important-
