If this video reaches 1500 likes we'll put out the next video immediately! Just wanted to try something out, I feel it's possible if you guys click the like button quick enough we could get two videos out in one day! I'll be ready to release it when it does, editing a bunch right now trying to get as many of these going out!
@@philw3353 No mystery on the subject of free boats. They can be had about anywhere. If anyone had not noticed, boating in general is down substantially with larger boats. Maintenance, storage and mooring fees being the number one reasons, Any abandoned boat or boat that has been on the hard a year or two is ripe for the pickings. An owner wants to get out from under the storage costs if the yard has not already taken possession and they want to just recoop as much as they can on it and free up the space. I could be wrong but have seen it too many times. If they need an engine, sails or both, someone would probably pay you to take the boat. Not so much the smaller boats, people stash them under a tree to rot for 10years before they give it away.
Rolled taquitos. In So Cal they’re corn tortillas usually filled with beef or chicken rolled up then fried (or baked if frozen). Then topped with guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, shredded cheese, and pico de gallo. Serve with red or green salsa.
I grew up on Merritt Island and those are my hometown waters. I've spent many a day and night out on the Banana and Indian rivers. Unfortunately, they're not in the best of health these days due to septic and fertilizer runoff.
Dragon Point local here! Good choice of anchorage, its always worth a satisfying laugh to look east -- look west -- realize that you have the same view as those suckers who paid a few million dollars for some big dumb house that wouldn't sail worth a damn even if it could float. Give a shout out on the way back thru the point, we'll take care of you guys! That way you don't have to stop in Titusville... I mean, seriously.. Titusville!?!?! Yuck! We got ya covered. -Fish & Dana... SV BoomDeYaDa
So, yall on your way out of "The Box"? Oh, MIGHT want to include sumptin about the Pitfalls of "Claiming" a "Derelect" Vessel. Though I'd LOVE to hear what's yas gots ta say bout free Boatin. F.W.F.S.
Hole-in-the-wall Island, just south of Sebastian Inlet? I lived on a 50' wooden stinkpot in the late 60s-early 80', did The Ditch from Palm Beach to Boston and back, this triggers a lot of memories. Subscribed!
Tough seeing some of those abandoned boats... it's much cheaper than storing or disposing of them though... Cheers from PEI Canada - anxiously waiting to put our sailboat in the water again :) Bryan
Yeah free boats. Or 1$ boats. Same thing. I don't know WHY there is an attraction. The problems add at least up to, if not over the cost of just going out and getting a proper vessel. And cost is not just in money but time, pain, suffering, rinse repeat.
I'm a bit confused as to why you are motoring in the ICW as opposed to sailing outside. The ICW can be quite beautiful, but don't you think it is a trip you can take in a trawler when you are in your mid 60s?
Hi there! I'm watching your channel for ages, like 4 years from the beginning. The reason is, apart from that you make interesting and entertaining videos, my slow but steady plan to move to liveaboard and travel around world with my wife once kids will be "out of town" ;-) and every experience taken by others is valuable. But to my question, because it's something ringing bell back in my mind quite often - why did you choose sailboat over again, when you do quite a lot of motoring in the end? I'm opt for a sailboat (single hull) myself, but if was planning to spend such amount of time motoring around, due to different reasons (safe anchoring, ICW, windlessness, too much wind, bad wind direction), I'd go for a motorsailor. What was your motive to choose a sailboat after all instead of motorsailor?
Thank you! I guess we've always been on a sailboat seems like it's also what we know. Also when the going get rough I'd rather be on a sailboat, there's also the cost thing which is huge on us, we don't really have the luxury of many options, this boat vs that, more like which 30 ft sailboat do we want. Also don't have the budget on fuel, it's rather light on our diesel inboard compared to everything else, even how much we've done. I'd rather sail with the perfect wind while cruising any day, but I feel most of the choices on weather windows leads to light air, or light air at nose too where we still are trying to make 50+ nm in one day so motorsailing gets the job done there. Then also comes our issue with charging. Have not figured out the charging, the laptops, the cameras, iphones, fans, batteries, external battery charges, portbable vhfs, hand lights. Running the engine helps solve that issue too while getting us as far as we need. It felt like it was not until we reached the bahamas where we could chose weather windows based on wind direction etc, every other time we're just looking for the calmer less daunting conditions mostly cold until florida. Hope that helps.
@@WickedSalty Thank you very much for your reply! So generally it's the combination of motoring being cheaper on a sailboat (with less power and speed which doesn't bother you too much) than on a much heavier motorsailer fitted with a more powerfull engine, at the same time cheaper boat purchase compared to a motorsailer, and after all the joy of free sailing when the conditions favored it. That makes sense to me, and once again thanks for answering my question. Wish you a safe and joyfull journey and godspeed!!! p.s. perhaps we'll meet in Bahamas in few years, who knows ;-)
Coming up on 924 Likes wes , so cool. Hey have you ever looked into Hydrogen Fuel cell for power generation as a supplement so you can use the AC ceramic Heater for those cold days ?? you can even use it underway
And to answer your question from the Live Stream , New england refers to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass, and Connecticut. Possibly New York, And I want to say Penn But I am not really sure about those two
@@TAMBestBuild I hear you. You Don't like us. (I live in Ct ) Here we are just trying to be a nice little section of the country and they all jump ship. Humm , What about Rode Island ??
Folly things? Could that possibly be “ taquitos”? Rolled deep fried taco with chicken or beef inside? Or burrito with steamed tortilla filled with EVERYTHING and folded/rolled? You kids are so Yankeefied!
This is gonna sound really dumb...are you coming from or going to the Bahammas..?? You were the first peeps I whatched as a sailing channel on You Tube..Still luv you both and the woofa too..Keep the videos coming pleez....
Really confusing on where you are. Are you coming or going to the Bahamas ? You use to to show videos in a logical sequence, now you are all over the place. Have you gotten lazy ?

Nice relay !
Hole in the wall Vero beach is a awesome anchorage been there many times!!

We’re you thinking taquitos maybe
You guys made it look so easy
Taquitos!

love powerboats
TaQUitos. Yes, TJs sells them in a couple of varieties, but they recently dropped beef and chicken, IIRC, at least here on the left coast.
Such a weird episode...but fun!
I thought the food looked darn good. Anytime someone cook something for me, I consider each and every bite a love offering.
Sweet. Grew up on the Banana River in Brevard Co.
I think you might be thinking of the Tacitos. The mini tacos.
Get video guys!

South thru the icw there a year ago, and never did a mile without hurricane boats in trees or aground.
Kate watchin' Friends. :)

I hit like wes. Good to see you guys again. I am still thinking about the live stream you did a week ago. That was fun

Cape Cod and Palm Trees? Interesting.
C'mon Wes......time to step up dirty dishes!
1:50 YES! I was so hoping you would relay the transmission! You rock Capt'n!

Almost there! I have not looked at that, I'll check it out!
Taquitos
I Just shared on facebook
Great post, as always. Partly because 8-15 minutes is right in my wheel house :)
And to answer your question from the Live Stream , New england refers to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass, and Connecticut. Possibly New York, And I want to say Penn But I am not really sure about those two
Don't think PA and NY qualify. No accent.
@@woodside63 LOL The only reason I thought is was PA because of the first continental Congress
I'm from New York. Never considered it part of New England.
@@TAMBestBuild I hear you. You Don't like us. (I live in Ct ) Here we are just trying to be a nice little section of the country and they all jump ship. Humm , What about Rode Island ??
NY and PA are definitely not part of New England.
taquitos
Wes, just curious, does your boat have a two or three bladed prop? Mine has a two bladed and I get a lotta prop walk. ( Cat 30)
Burrito? Chimichanga? Chalupa? Quesadilla? Fajita? Tamale? hahahaha sorry, that’s all I can think of.
flautas?
Taquitos?
Whoa! What's wrong with free boats!?!? Lol.
Sailing FreeStyle nothing, they just aren’t free. I’m sure you know that!
Wicked Salty true story! I could write a book about it! ... ( or make a RUclips channel, same difference ) 🤙
I’m not sure if anyone said taquitos. Did anyone already say taquitos? Because it’s taquitos.
Question - why aren't you using the stove on the boat instead of the camping stove- is it because of your out of date propane tanks?
Lazy Days yeah we bought a new one that was shipped to Boca Raton where we picked it up there
@@WickedSalty - Great - and a good reason to sail to Boca Raton! Do they call it Rat's Mouth because of the shape of the harbor?
Folly things? Could that possibly be “ taquitos”? Rolled deep fried taco with chicken or beef inside? Or burrito with steamed tortilla filled with EVERYTHING and folded/rolled? You kids are so Yankeefied!
God I love these videos
Second but also haven’t seen it
taquito?
This is gonna sound really dumb...are you coming from or going to the Bahammas..?? You were the first peeps I whatched as a sailing channel on You Tube..Still luv you both and the woofa too..Keep the videos coming pleez....
Where the F is Hole in the Wall? Active Captain doesnt know that one...
South of Sebastian Inlet.
Where's the dog?
Sorry! She was probably hiding under a blanket the whole time XD but the next episode is ALL about her! so click that Like button! :)
More motor boating.
Taquito’s?!
'Just approaching somewhere on the MAP...' ? How about a 'Chart'?
First
56th, sorry im so late. ;(
Its got to be liked,before you release your next vid ??????WTF!!!!!!!!!!
Really confusing on where you are. Are you coming or going to the Bahamas ? You use to to show videos in a logical sequence, now you are all over the place. Have you gotten lazy ?
Ernie Morris if you are confused with the live stream we did. That was live, there is a delay on the videos which are released in order.
Taquitos!
