"You miss every opportunity you don't take" love it !!

Wax on Wax off! Plenty of wood to resurface. Take your time no rush. You are on cruising time. Thanks nice show

Loved hearing the buzzer when you turn the keys…brings back the memories. Loved your company. Dolphins never get old. Loving your videos!

Hey Gus, Love your vlog. Love the fact you are cruising and learning with an opening and great "can-do" attitude. Just a bit of nomenclature for you. Floor boards in a boat are called the cabin sole. Walls on a boat are called bulkheads, either longitudinal (fore and aft) or horizontal (athwartship). Most athwartship (side to side) bulkheads are considered structural or necessary to the integrity of the boat.

Love tour attitude! Work hard, play hard! Keep them comming! And you are right; if you want, you can learn anything!) 💪 greets from Amsterdam.

Damn Gus, I've done flips out of airplanes, ridden motorcycles over 140 mph, been offshore in big seas without a problem but you just made me dizzy on this video! lmao! No need for apologies, I've seen your other replies. Lovin what you do!!! 🤣👍

Thanks for your videos. I did the trip three times and really enjoy seeing the scenery again.

I ain't in a rush and you miss every opportunity you don't take... words of wisdom right there for sure, wish I had that much sense when I was that age. I didn't slow down to smell the flowers until I was past sixty. good clip

Great episode! Can't wait to see all this wood work! Good luck! Teak is a really hard wood lol

did the same tour via car a couple of years ago with my parents and today i found your channel doing something i always dreamed about since🥺thanks, love it. cheers from germany👍

Good job Young Man. Even an old guy can learn from you youngsters. Keep it going! 👍

You never run out of work owning a boat, Gus. She'll look great when you're done! 👍 Maybe fit some CLEAR plexiglass at the bridge where the smoked glass ends? You could still see the bow, and it would give you a bit of a wind/spray break? 🤔 STAGG CHILI?....old guy approved ( hot sauce optional)! 😎 🌴🦩

Great content, just what the Captain ordered. Got me hooked with the floor rehab also. See ya next show Skipper.

I love that you try stuff - 'don't anyone tell you 'no'...:) That's awesome! I also love that you show your adventure ALL the way - through All of your experiences, mistakes and good stuff! That's what life is all about Dude and you do it well! This is how we learn - by watching others. So anyway - keep on boating - we'll keep watching! As always! Oh ya! You're right outside of Hobe Sound Beach - I've been there. It's nice and secluded, like you said.

Lots of work ahead. It's going to be interesting. Your boat is beautiful. I like those old boats because they look like.. Boats! Recent boats are looking like spacecrafts, they don't make me dreaming much.

Glad you’re headed to Vero, spend many days in the waters of Vero growing up. Really enjoy what you’re doing, as mentioned in other comments looking forward to the refurb videos.

"You miss every opportunity you don't take" My new motto!

Finishing floors (or any other wood) is all about patience and paying attention to detail. Sand it all smooth, make whatever repairs you need to, get ALL the sawdust, apply stain if desired, varnish. Once dry, lightly sand to make the varnish smooth, clean up all the sawdust and varnish again. Repeat until desired layers of varnish are applied. Easy idea, but lots of effort and time consuming. But, if it's done right, it results in something beautiful.

It’s 13 degrees this morning in St Louis, thanks for another sunny adventure!

Awesome loving the content make that baby look brand new!!!

Hey Gus. LOVE the series! On your next stop in Jupiter, make some time to do some drift diving. Jupiter is one of the premier dive locations in Florida. Always plenty of wildlife on the reefs. Probably the best dive boat I've been on docks at the Square Grouper restaurant (great burgers!). Look for the big red boat. Can't wait for your next video. Cheers!

You've been blessed with such great weather. And I'm loving all the videos you do, looking forward to the next one

Peck's Lake in Hobe Sound is a good anchorage off the ICW, There are many good anchorages in and around Staurt. Nice going as a solo captain.

Thank you for sharing your solo!

Docking that boat solo must be a trip.

The buzzers going off when you start your engines sounds like the music of a snake charmer

Keep living the dream. I'm jealous. Helpful information on which spots to layover. Have fun with the woodwork. It will give you something to do. I know it's gonna turn out nice. Being alone now is gonna be different. Takes a certain kind of person to keep the solitude from getting to ya.

Another great video, thank you.

I hit the like before I even watch the episode ...lol.

You are living life the way that it should be. Enjoy the day every day and stay safe.

Can't wait to see some project videos. Keep it going.

great video! Your trawler is going to look great!

You came up in my feed bro! Happy I found you. Your living my dream of leaving Maine out of Portland an going to FL and then then Bahamas! Safe travel's brother👊

Super video bro...u are inspiration to all !!

Love the channel brotha!! Cant wait for the boating weather to come back to the Pacific Northwest!!

36 years ago I lived on 1962 32' single screw Canoe Cove for several years. They were some of my best years. Cruised all over BC Canada were I still live. Got Married and moved ashore. No regrets on my marriage but I really miss my boat. Don't miss all the sanding, soon you will understand lol! Enjoy the ride Wishing you smooth Seas. I have subscribed and will watch your videos.

That is awesome man! Good for you!!

Killin it brotha! I’m down in key largo love watching your journey yeeeeew

Thanks for sharing !

love your vids! my dream is to do what you are doing as well!

Thanks for sharing your information. What's next. When you come back to NY, we gotta hook up so you can tell me what not to do. Lol. Safe travels

I love all of Florida and have hauled butter blueberries sardines potatoes and potatoe wedges just some of the stuff I've hauled in there. When I woke up 1 morning in Vero it was 26 degrees that doesn't bother us Maine Boys. I love that boat

Great explanation of your days on the water etc. Looks like a fun venture. Video is great wish you had a drone that could follow you for more detail arrival and departures. Good job!

Anchor alarm for phone: we like Drag Queen.

Jupiter, FL is where Jason Newsted (Metallica) lives with his wife He's a big part of the community there & still plays in a band (that sounds more like a Johnny Cash type thing) called The Chophouse Band. He also gets commissioned for artwork (he is quite the artist) - even doing a gigantic mural for a restaurant there. Great video BTW cheers!

Tuned into this not expecting much tbh Stayed and watched it all and throughly enjoyed it, a nice easy going chap, having a good time boating in interesting locations whats not to like?

I have a similar boatWith teak floors in a similar state. I’m keen to see how you go about it great videos.

hey enjoy your videos. Question what kind of bracket is your spotlight mounted to. I caught a glimse of it and that is how i want to mount one

I went to York middle school in York ME. I also went to Southwest Jr. High-school in Palm Bay FL. And went to Truck Driving school in Portland ME.

One job at once on the boat Gus if you start too much stuff it all ends up a mess boat work is never ending

I was wondering how your bimini top was holding up (i remember you repairing it earlier on). I see that it ripped again. I'm guessing it lasted pretty good as i haven't noticed it ripped again until this video. Keep em coming.

That was cool.

Check your sea strainers/intakes after turning up mud and sand…great instincts.

Everytime l looked at the door l would wonder is he gonna refinish it?

Nice boat. Would love to see a GoPro pov of you doing solo anchor work and solo docking/undocking

where are you planning to anchor the boat when you move back to Miami?

The Ole John Deere will plow through shallow water. Tried and tested!

With dock, do you have to let somebody know your docking? I'm wondering how people get gas or food. If it cost anything to dock for a few hours?

Your engines start could charm a cobra.

I’d love to see you make a trip to the Dry Tortuga’s.

Awesome video, do you think you would ever do any spear fishing catch and cook vids

உங்கள் வீடியோ அருமை Your video very good

Looking forward to learning how to refinish the teak.

Rad video.

Hello, I'm new to your Channel. I think it's pretty Cool that you Cruise Solo. How big is your boat? I'm thinking about getting a liveaboard, but I'm Older(60) and have no experience. But watching you chill out there by yourself, makes me think that I might be able to pull it off. Thanks for the inspiration. Your Making Memories that will last you a lifetime. Enjoy the Journey and Stay Safe ‼️

How is the gas milage , how many gallons to fully fill your tanks ?

COol!! Next trip

Do you run your generator every night when you are sleeping? Or how long do you run it per day?

Great video. Please include some nighttime & rain day videos.

Move the camera more slowly. You remind me of my drunk grandma chasing a raccoon in the basement with a flashlight. ( south Florida )

do a barnacle flush to your engine, and ac and generator if you have them. never know how long it's been since that boat has had it done. youtube vids show how. i personally recommend doing reverse flush.

Hi Gus - great video! Quick question….how did you find the boat? Craiglist, Boattrader?

What Nav system are you using

Thanks a suggestion is slow down the camera pans other than that nice content good luck

We’re is your jet ski being stored

Excited about watching your videos however the spinning camera almost caused a seizure. lol

Did you stay in Peck Lake in Hobe Sound? that is the most beautiful area! VERY NICE!

How much did the trip cost? HOw did you afford it?

Sand it down and put tongue oil on it and just when ever you want rub more on it and it will look that way for ever gets a scratch rub some more on and will never peel and is water prof. Good luck try a spot and see what you think .

saw someone post in great loop group about you. they were saying they enjoy your videos.

hey gus.. what did you do w ur jet ski...btw gr8 vid sola,,,yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have auto pilot on your boat?

Never Ever a good idea to run the boat alone.anything can happen and you can’t be in two places at once.and if you get hurt,big trouble.just not worth the risks.enjoying your channel

Why don’t you use stripper instead of sanding?

I thought you were ninja running up the trail to the beach

Little quick on the camera today!!! Lol. January was a cool month.

As a good rule it is risky to tow a dingy especially with a following wind and seas as the dingy can go faster than boat and could even with stern get ropes tangled or caught in rudders or props or flip dingy lose engine or damage dingy. Davits are the best and body out of the water .. The anchors sound to be to lightweight for this boat .Even the two of them combined in good grip ground could lift if there is strong winds or worse strong currents .Very heavy chain for the first twenty feet could help some but increase weight for manual hauling out .Boats this size normally have a windlass electric or hydralic driven to winch in chain or minimum a large lever on the windlass to help a human winch in anchor chain and anchor. I suspect a 80 lb anchor would be minimum for this boat if you want to be secure in windy conditions weather . There are formulas that generally work out weight of boaT and weight of chain . My 3 ton 30 foot sail boat with 8 mm chain and 25 lb CQR and 35 lb Bruce has dragged in 45 knot wind in a sheltered bay and had to be reset 4 times in one stormy night . Generally the marina type leisure boats for day sailing come with light weigh anchor tackle for good weather anchor use . You can be amazed how many tons of a big boat can be held by a 35 lb Bruce anchor but if it starts to drag it might not regrip rip like a heavier one might .Keep up the good work .A tip is cheaper modern house paints are often as good and sometimes better than more costly marine version paints

First time I see your channel and I think is pretty good, my only criticism is... Wow.. . take it easy with your camera man, you move it around too much and too fast, it made me dizzy and gave a headache. Other than that, keep going, I think you are on the right track. 😉👍

The nimbus is owned by the Johnson & Johnson medical supply family

12-15knts?

Hope you have diesels in your ride ?

Peck Lake is Hobe Sound😆

This is my first video with you. Would you please tell me the dimensions and a little about your boat? Thanks

So it's been a year hows the project coming because from my perspective it loiks like a winner my friend

I am a subscriber and finding your postings a lot of interesting data about the ICW! If I have any concerns it would be your video techniques......Way Too jerky! Almost to the point of giving me a motion sickness! Hopefully, in time, you can upgrade your methods and steady up your posts.

What's your draft???

To improve your videos, try panning a bit slower to avoid "seasickness" of your viewers. Otherwise, good job!

So you turned Bruce into a new anchor??? 🤣🤣

Next time your in the ICW come in the st Lucie and go to wahoos
