My 1st time seeing much of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Between the rain, motor problems, civil war forts and beautiful weather/water these 4 days aboard my C-Dory 22' Cruiser were amazing. Although I was a little shocked when my brand new Yamaha started blowing fuses and refusing to crank..... @gochirp , #GoChirp, #FeelGoodDoMore #AnkerPowerHouse #PowerHouseII300

I like you with your shallow draft boat, laughing at all the newbs on the sandbar
What's draft of this boat
Boy Jethro, you sure can put some groceries away.Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. It is uplifting.
âIf itâs going to happen, itâs going to happen out there!â As soon as I heard you bust out the Captain Ron quotes, I knew Iâd like your content! đ€Łđ€
Cant believe you did not take that 2x8 out of the water ??? Live and learn I hope !
Should have put a Mercury on the back of that tub Trip, LOL!!!
That was awesome! Thanks for putting this together.
Great video Trip. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good/fun work!
I noticed this was posted 7months ago and you were hoping to go full time on YT in a year or two. Having just put in your two week notice with the Fire DEPARTMENT recently.... I just wanted to commend you on your fast growth with the channel and deciding to just GO FOR IT!!! Trip you are inspiring thousands of us man and for that WE THANK YOU!!! đŁđ„đŻ
Love the video trip! Cant wait to see some more spring videos!
Most excellent video and it is always a fun time watching what you are up to. I love that little boat especially because you can "camp" on it.
Awesome Trip! I love that boat!
Your channel is a barrel of fun, but you should watch Out on the Reef. That young man knows how to cook up a meal on a 21â boat.
Inspired for sure, keep up the good work!
We love that area. Fun to share in your adventure. Can only imagine how cool it would be in that little boat.
Amazing area and even better in such a fun boat! Thanks for watching!
That boat is just right for what you do. It makes me want one.
Enjoy visiting the coast and the islands and I loved it before everyone found it. There's treasure everywhere you look. Thank God, no one wants to moved to or visit Alabama or Mississippi ... well used to not want to. I've watched the area's overwhelming growth the last 17 years..
So glad you was able to see our fort ganes I live in Mobile and enjoy seeing you on this part of the state
I'm really loving the boat. It opens up so many possibilities for adventure. I wish there was a way of lining the walls and covering up all those rivets and screws. It would make it so much more comfy looking with a fabric finish
I like it plain and easy to reach all the screws n rivets personally.
have you ever been on a boat? There is reason they are not covered.
@@adventureswithfrodo2721 yes I have been involved with boats all my life. Not coastal , but inland waterways in the UK. My farther built hired, converted and sold canal narrow boats, had a boat yard worked with boats until the age of 40. Please tell me the 'reasons'
My boat is covered on the inside with a padded white covering. Looks good and provides insulation.
Good thing for Mom!!
Interesting Fort tour!
Looks like they've improved Ft Gaines a lot since the last time I was there 20 years or so ago. Nice to see it's being kept up!
AWESOME tour of Fort . VERY interesting as being a 20 year military man .Peace Mister
Keep inspiring Trip!
Your boat would be perfect for my wife and I. Unfortunately, C-Dory is quite proud of the new ones. Like $132,000 proud for the 22â cruiser. I need to find someone whoâs tired of theirs.
Great Video. Cheers!
Awesome videos man!
Great stuff my brother. Looks like a blast. Perfect boat for the area man. A bit jealous over here.
Get a dog, youâll be glad you did
Got mine from the pound, loves boating and swimming. Never complains
Love the Bama, thanks for the Chanel and the content
Love your videos. Especially the ones like this... that area is â Homeâ đ
Great video. Hull Cleaner(west marine, amazon etc.) will take that yellow stain right off the boat when you get it back on the trailer. Itâs great stuff.
Thanks for sharing...
I took my daughter down to the Mississippi gulf coast for her senior trip. We took a trip out to Ft Gains and had a great time. We also went to the museum in Biloxi just across the bridge from Ocean Springs. Glad you had a great trip. This is why I love your videos. You show the highs and lows but don't let it discourage you.
Oh very cool! Neat area fore sure..... Glad you enjoyed it Danny!
hello from the quiet sunny Ozarks! Another video of value! Where did you get you folding plates? tight lines
Your dinner that your Mom made you. Got me thinking about my Mom. She's gone now. And I miss her.
She would make me a dinner when I came home once in a while , while in the military. Country fried steak in gravy and mashed potatoes, broccoli , and home made biscuits. She made it for me cause she knew it was my favorite. I love and miss my Mom.
Great video boat itâs looking great
Good book on the table.
Thatâs a good idea bringing the paddle board. đđ»
Great content!!
Thank Reg!
Love your videos...
You need to throw some solar on the top of that boat. And a suction cup to open and close your window? That's a great idea I could have used that a year ago when my latch fell off.
Awesome Trip! I love that boat, and I know you do too! I think I heard you say it atleast 3 or more times during the video lol! Fort Gaines was definitely worth seeing. I was wondering if you had a solar set up, looking forward to seeing it all put together in the future. đ
Definitely a cool adventure boat.
@16:30.... "I will play for gumbo...." ;)
Another good video! Glad you show its not always rainbows and unicorns and that you have issues also. Once again your food is NASTY!
Iâve been wanting one of those wheels for the back. đȘđ»
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRIP. I remember from last year you and I have the same birthday. Hope your day was as good as mine
Been offshore fishing on a boat like you were looking at, def go do it.
really cool boat.
Have to say I have been loving the C Dory Videos. Looks like alot of fun and a great boat. I have a 22' starcraft islander with a 225 yamaha and we've had some great adventures with ot but I don't have the set water motor so never been in the ocean with it
Chef live jeans been ocean deep water
Hello, I am truly enjoying your videos. Got me started making adventures. Trying to get back in shape. Backpacking. Hiking. Bike rides. My mini adventures. Close to home. I am really having fun. Going to start a few weekends and overnighters. I work in the medical field and right now it's hard to get time off. Hitting state parks. And Rails to Trails. I have to keep it cheap and close due to I'm on call 24-7. Hopefully my adventures can get better as I get into better shape. Been watching your videos almost every afternoon. Wishing for my own escape.
Chief wife medical doctor chief miolartyy both call 24 7. No fre time
I love that boat
Live in Daphne and make the trip from Pelican Point to Perdido Key all the time! Love that route!
I did all the underwater inspection work on the Exxon platforms in dolphin Island two years ago
Brother, I dig the high energy. Great times.
Heck yea!!!!
Awesome seeing that fox
love your boat man.
good book choice, a salty piece of land is a great read
Oh yea! I love a Salty Piece of Land.... Re-read it last year ;)
Great video. My BFF lives on gulf coast.
Been watching awhile. Enjoy the content. Thanks for posting!! I'm saving up to get myself a 1648 jon and start doing some camping with it!! The paddleboard keeps me on the water for now. Trip dip!!
Hey great man! Hope you can make it happen and get some bigger adventures under your belt đ
Just found your channel recently and enjoying the boating content so far. Being new, I have only watched a few videos but already noticed you actively caring about the environment by picking up trash on your adventures. Kudosđ€!!! This video you missed a golden opportunity to get that 2x6 out of the water and save the gelcoat of another boater.đ That thing was not easy to spot and was definitely a hazard on the waterway.
cool trip on a dream boat I need so bad Im looking so i will be going sometime soon i hope
Missed trip dip man, donât hold out on us!!! Lol đ
If you get any footage, you can send it to Broncos Guru for his boneheaded boaters series. đ
C DORY!đđđđșđ
love the island! family friends have a house down there we stay at every so often. gotta take your kids to catch crabs on the beach one night
I wasnât on that particular Towboat (although I have run it) but I watch the channel. I work on the red and white ones now like the one with the rock barges. Have you considered using a power pole? Seems like it could really help you in the kind of places you explore. Love the chill vibe of your videos.
Hey Tripp I actually went on a fishing charter recently and those are actually natural gas rigs, pulling gas out of the ground
Ah, very cool! Love learning stuff like that.
Awesome boat man! Itâs so nice! Do you keep a full tool kit on the boat with spare parts and like a multi volt meter too?
Nice adventure! Hey man, when are you taking your new boat to coral reefs and Crystal clear waters?? Give us some cool underwater shots!
Maybe you should have gotten that board out of the water The next person might not be so lucky.
He may have but just didnât films it.
You might enjoy rainex on those windows. Great job!
Did you determine what was blowing the fuse on the engine? Great video. I like the C-Dory. Might be one in our future.
I really enjoy your videos , I have a question what is your mpg and what propeller you running ? Thx .. and keep up the videos ..
Fort Pickens is pretty cool also
Drive your boat in the inercoastal way from PENSACOLA BEACH to Panama city BEACH shell island and way back around to gulf breeze FL
Love the pilot house with the Bimini top out the back door. Lots a possibilities for comfort in that thing. Do you have a video describing what you are driving?
So there is a link in the drop down to the boat but would love to here about the details of your boat
I have that same Gerber set of utensils and 2 of the pieces lock together and make a set of tongs that are really handy for cooking ! Also, what soles do you have on your earth runners? Looking at getting some and was curious what sole thickness you prefer. Enjoyed the video!
Great video. Weâve made the same trip several times. Nothing like the ICW. Did you happen to go to Pirates Cove? Where did you tie up at Ft Gaines? Keep em coming Cap.
That 115 pushes that big boat pretty good!
Yess enough dit wast ful 115 hp saves ful high mog Ling range
Great video, my next trip may be exploring area around Niceville. Had 4 trailer tires installed at Scott Stevens. The manager thought I was you. Filled up wit gas at station next door, took a picture but could no add it to YT comments. We were going to Suwannee River. Regards. Dennis
This boat is perfect for me
Biy it
@@sharonbraselton3135 do what? Lol.
damn man.... hitting some wood like that sucks... i did it once and it took me a while before i quit tensing up all the time thinking about it lol
So you leave the 2 x 8 out there?
A Salty Piece of Land is a good read, as are all of Buffett's books, Where is Joe Merchant being one of my all-time favorites
What was that folding solar panel you had ? Love your channel ! You crack me up and maybe Iâll have to try some of those canned foods đ€·đŒââïž
Loved it Trip. Just a question though why don't you sleep in the V birth?
The faster you go, the more you'll hit.
The faster you go, the more it cost.
The faster you go, the less you see.
The fas...wait ! It's his boat, he's the Capt' and he can enjoy it in his own way.
Damn landlubbers ! ...
Wring. Hybre eltrric
Good video , you may want to try a bungee strap on that window it would hold it up and you could pull it shut when it rains.Keep the videos coming
Thanks for another great vid! At age 73, I still do my pushups on my finger tips. I believe that method is better for attaining overall connective strength. Do you think you can handle it Trip? I bet you can :) Cheers from Seattle!
Go to the Abaco's in the Bahamas.. That boat would be perfect for over there..
You should invest in a kicker motor for big motor redundancy
Dude you should make a post on c-brats would gets some more great fans
Very cool video, Love the Gulf Shores of Alabama. Your boat would be a cool boat to have in the Florida Keys. We lived aboard a 2005 Privilege 615 Catamaran in Key West for 8 years, she was a great boat that we sailed to the Bahamas quite often. We recently sold the Cat and bought a condo in Key Largo, we didn't quit sailing we just down sized, our new boat is a 2020 Corsair 880 Sport trimaran. Corsairs are known for their insane speeds in this one doesn't disappoint. We recently sailed from Key Largo to Key West, we covered the 92.7 miles in 5.7 hours and averaged 14.7 to 17.3 knots and on several occasions reached 21.5 knots. Even at those insane speeds the boat is very stable and easy to sail. As soon as hurricane season gets out of here we are sailing her to the Bahamas, should be a fun trip. Lots of videos on CZcams about Corsairs...

What ended up being the motor issue? Thanks for sharing!
