      It looks like a nice place. Wish there was a dock so you could pull up and visit the town. Thanks for commenting.

    That kind of river travel is nerve racking. Congrats on getting thru all that junk.

    I love this boat but as I understand it has almost a 5ft draft. Have you had any issues?

    • @FreebirdonTheGreatLoop
      @FreebirdonTheGreatLoop  6 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, Freebirds draft is nearly 5 feet. We have not had any issues so far. We are not planning on traveling the Trent Severn waterway to avoid shallow water issues. Thanks.🛥️

    What time of year was this video made, look like other then toe or tugs you guys were the only people on the river that day. The Captain and the first mate do a great job to miss all that crap in the water.👍

      We were. Not many people were crazy enough to travel in the flood conditions. Das Boot was the only other boat we ran across traveling our way.

      Diversion canal and Kaskaskia lock are two spots off the main river where you can safely spend the night as you travel the Mississippi.

      Hi gang, do you have to anchor every nite or does some stand watch ?!

      Do you anchor every nite or someone stand watch ?

    • @FreebirdonTheGreatLoop
      @FreebirdonTheGreatLoop  6 месяцев назад +3

      On nights we anchor we use an Anchor Alarm app on our iPad that uses GPS signals to monitor our location. If the boat moves a loud alarm wakes us up. 😫

    If you haven't already found out, I believe but could be wrong, a dike is perpendicular to the river and a chevron would be angled. Military insignia (stripes on sleeve) are called chevrons because they are angled down. Or a chevron pattern on a wood floor

    Could be looking at a lot of debris capt.

    Greetings from central Michigan. How far behind reality are these videos ? Would be fun to say Hi if a friend and I's schedule allowed meeting up in Muskegeon or Luddington.
