    Just one point regarding the melted shore power receptacle. It fried due to a poor connection at the terminal of the receptacle. The connection can loosen because of vibration, or salt and water can get in causing corrosion. In either case, it’s a high resistance connection that causes the terminal to heat up. You should check, clean and retighten your shore power connections every year. Don’t forget to use dielectric grease on the wire ends and terminals to your help slow corrosion. This is the cause of many boat fires. Just a tip from your friendly marine fire investigator.⚓️🚒🌊⛵️

    When I was 12 (1975) my grandparents took a cousin and myself in a 24' houseboat called the Sea Turtle from Brunswick, GA up the ICW through the St Lawrence Seaway, through the Great Lakes and down the Mississippi to the Gulf Coast. It was a 2 1/2 month trip and extremely educational. I have loved boating and travel ever since.

    at around 24:51, youre cruising past Holden Beach NC. You can see the boat I spent many summers aboard growing up, Intimidator, to port. Learned a lot about boating working on that old beauty. I saw you pass the sort of turquoise tower building off starboard at around 24:45 and was just going "wait a second, thats gotta be it!" with a grin getting wider and wider until you passed by. Its amazing how seeing something that holds so many memories for you show up in a stranger's travels evokes a totally new feeling.

I was unable to make any of the trip with them ,but I always imagine what that was like. ( I'm sure it was awesome) He has passed away ,as has his buddy - but watching your video shows me all the places they passed by- and in my mind I can see that old boat just cruising along - just like many of those that you passed on your wonderful trip-thanks for taking us all along !

I found it very entertaining & interesting from your perspective as a novice & traveling in a somewhat unconventional type boat for that trip. I've lived on a lake most of my life & have been looking into the small yacht traveling thing. Your trip really opened my eyes about why most people prefer larger & slower boats for doing the loop and the ICW. I really enjoyed your novice commentary, since I think in the same terms. A big gray metal military looking boat's a "battleship" to me too. It's funny how many people bothered to correct you, as if it "mattered". Getting the name of a bridge wrong sure ruffled some feathers too, lol! And you'd better not call the joints that drain your credit card to refill your gas tank a "gas station". You weren't pretending to be seasoned lifelong sailors or experts, so I'm not sure why some thought they needed to "school" you over it.

    @@Reviewoutlaw That's because much of the ICW is unsailable. Narrow, confined draft, too many yahoos in moboats who don't understand "tacking". When you are in the ICW the wind tends to either be right on the nose or right at the stern(slow sailing) (in any case the wind steered by the land). Tacking down the ICW would be masochistic, especially with all the moboats cussing you out for "going back and forth." When people sail up or down the coast, they go offshore.

    Hello, I cant tell you how happy I am to see your video. I plan to move to Florida as soon as my house sells here in New Jersey and I have a 1998 400 Sea Ray Express that will be coming with me. I have been weighing drive it down or have it shipped. I have been watching ICW videos for over a year. But most all of them are sail boats or diesel powered boats. Mine is gas twin 8.1 496 engines. I have wanted to see a gas boat do the trip. I have listened closely and looked up all of your stops and marked them on Navionics app. Very interesting trip/video. I will keep a look out for your further boating travels around Florida they interest me very much. Thank you again for sharing this!

    Do it For the fun of it. IF you just want to move it, don't do it. But make it a journey and it will be a great thing. Disclosure: my father did the ICW before WWII, with his cousin--who happened to write "A Cruising Guide to the New England Coast." It was in a powerboat instead of sail (because why sail in the ICW) and they had a great trip. But it doesn't look like 1941 any longer!

    Nice trip- you passed right by our house. We love watching the migration of boats, but please remember that it is a no wake zone within 50 feet of any dock or pier whether or not there is a sign (NC Law and just plain courteous)- you may not realize it, but the wake from a large/ go fast boat like yours causes significant damage to the docks (particularly the floating docks) whether or not the boats are on the lifts. Plus you will cut your fuel costs down dramatically and get a lot more waves from the friendly folks on the ICW.

    It's one of biggest abuses on the ICW (wakes) they have no regard for docks, piers, or slower moving boats. S.C. is cracking down as this was noticed during my travel last year. Over the past 15 years the shores in both N.C. and S.C. have been bulldozed level, with high rise and townhouses now replacing the trees and banks. We had time to not only simply wave to say hello but actually exchange words with people who had been on their floats fishing or sun bathing, they found no fault with our passing bye.

    Running inside N.J. requires time coupled with bridges and shoals; during the summer months it is loaded with local traffic. Therefore most cruisers prefer making the Atlantic City stop; then crossing open water to Ocean City, Maryland. Or (alternate) round Cape May and go up the Delaware. As for sail it is far better to run the outside shores whenever passing N.J.

    Just a little advice. You should slow down more when overtaking another vessel. You can see the Chris Craft having to turn into a pretty sizable wake around the 41:45 mark. I travel the ICW up and down the east coast in my 41’ aft cabin and things get tossed around in the cabin with those wakes. Also always pass barges slow. You can see they have a tender tied up alongside the tow and it can cause damage banging against your wake. Safe travels!

    Review Outlaw yea... you want to pass them only slightly faster than they are going. A lot of the ICW travelers live on their boats and wakes throws their things about the cabin. When you see a boat that you’ve passed turning into your wake after the pass, you know you’ve gone too fast! I know there’s a lot of critics about anything and everything on here... just thought I’d throw it out there! I learned the hard way too... mostly by getting yelled at on 16! Lol
