Our Labor Day weekend boat trip has up cruising up the SW Florida intracoastal waterway (ICW) from Cayo Costa to Punta Gorda. The waterfront town has tiki bars, restaurants and shops overlooking the Peace River. Follow us as we traverse Charlotte Harbor, visit TT’s Tiki bar and grill for lunch and live music, then Fisherman’s Village for drinks, shopping and dinner at Harpoon Harry’s.

Just catching up on the videos. I love that. It’s so dog friendly at some of those places. Our big old lab would love it. Just a few more months and our house is done.

We’re hoping to visit there soon. I believe our boat club has a group trip planned there.

Isn't NO tie up cleats unusual ? I thought that rather strange for a business that wants to attract boaters?? Great video. Fellow Cape Coral boater here.

Hi neighbor! What was unusual is the lack of pilings that extend above the dock. You can usually tie to them, but everything you can tie to was below the level of the dock. Very difficult for larger vessels at high tide.

A fun trip! I went to Burnt Store about 3 weeks ago, had never been before. Much larger than I expected, and the food at the marina was really good.

We've been to TT's and Fisherman's Village. Great little spots. We've also been to Burnt Store Marina with the parents of our Daughter's friend. They actually live there. There are lots of Great Loopers that go to Burnt Store Marina. I love the videos! You guys are living the dream!

Very informative and interesting videos. Did you feel Punta Gorda is similar to Cape Coral. Both seem to have a lot of houses with canals. Thinking of heading down south soon!

@AdventuresofHappyOurs 9 ай бұрын

We considered Punta Gorda but opted for Cape Coral as it had more to do in the downtown area. Each has their own benefits.

When you eventually re-power Happy Ours, maybe you will consider diesels, since you mainly cruise at low speeds? I've got a single Volvo D6 @ 435 hp on a 37 footer and at idle that gives me 3.5 knots/4 mph and 12.5 mpg (with reservation for miscalculation going from liters per nautical mile to mpg.) Anyway, it doesn't use much go-juice at slow speeds. Anyway, Matey is the cutest!

@AdventuresofHappyOurs 9 ай бұрын

The cost on a diesel swap may be over my comfort zone. Hopefully these last a long time!

I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.❤🇺🇸

@michaeltheboatinglife9359 5 ай бұрын

I know that’s a nice area as well but it’s greatly different than the Gulf Coast. I grew up on the Atlantic side but decades later I prefer the Gulf Coast. Yes, it’s a little bit slower and perhaps a few more older people but that perception is changing. We originally wanted to be in Delray Beach, but frankly got priced out of that area and built a beautiful house over in Cape Coral.
