    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

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. KudosđŸ€™!!! This video you missed a golden opportunity to get that 2x6 out of the water and save the gelcoat of another boater.😉 That thing was not easy to spot and was definitely a hazard on the waterway.

    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...
