Yamaha tech here, modern boat engine plugs don't "foul" like your typical carbureted atv, motorcycle, generator where you pull it out and it's jet black/wet/stinky/carbon packed etc They kind of get effected by lack of use/stale fuel and moisture more than age. ESPECIALLY here in Florida. The humidity actually rusts the plug tips as well even though the engine is spotless. As a rule of thumb, we change plugs during the annual service in March at my shop as standard so the customer won't develop a poor run, go into limp mode etc. getting stranded and calling seatow is more expensive than changing plugs every year. But stick with NGK! They're the best. And keep those extras. Maintenance is key. Enjoyed the video! Just added this trip to my bucket list.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Joshua! Much appreciated.... I'm certainly changing them annually from here on out. Why would you save the plugs? To carry with you as spares? Would you be better of to just carry new ones? Thanks again for speaking out!

Man, great info…thanks so much!

Those walls you wondered about in Lake George are there to mark the river channel; they predate a screen with a GPS connection. Years ago boats leaving the lake on either end were prevented from missing the channel if they went through those open gates that were designed to keep boats from running aground outside the channel.

I grew up on Lake George and my parents commercial fished the lake. The jetties were built to control sediment build up where the river meets the lake and allow for a barge channel deep enough for oil barges to pass through that once traveled the river.

Great video! I've been boating on the St. Johns for 50 years and have covered every mile of your trip, just never in one trip. I've got a 25 foot walk around cuddy and would love to make that trip and camp along the way. You actually passed our house between the container ships and the ICW. We would have been on your starboard side about a mile past the last set of blue cranes! You might be interested to know that straight section of river from the Dames Point bridge east to the end of Blount Island was actually dug by the Corp of Engineers in the early 1950s. That project, called Fulton Cut, created an Island which now serves as the primary cargo terminal in NE Florida. Previously the "island" was part of the mainland on the south side of the river and the river made several sharps turns as it went around the north side of what is now Blount Island. The "cut" was named after the fishing village of Fulton which was along the south bank of the river. Anyway, enough for the history lesson. Love the boat, your enthusiasm and the adventures!
