Wow! Great line handling skills Marie, that throw for the port springline was nothing short of impressive!! And Ron, the way you handle a 17 ton single 120hp engine trawler without a stern OR bow thruster is amazing. Nice teamwork!!
@@JohnDoe-gj8pm - thank you so much for the compliments!!
Marie for the win AGAIN!! Nice shot!
@@mvintrigue-trawlerdiy1101 - thanks !☺️
You guys are doing such a great job. I’ve learned some valuable information and tips from you and really enjoyed your stories. Thanks for doing what you’re doing. You’re braver than me.
@@jeheydt5boys - not sure about the bravery part - we think we are not smart enough to be cautious 😂
But thank you for the compliment - it warms our hearts to know we are helping
Btw we live on a Defever 48 and you were recommended by the Defever Owners Group
@@jeheydt5boys - awesome!! We appreciate their recommendation and your support. Maybe we will meet up at a future DeFever Rendezvous. Go DeFevers !!
That wasn't a fiasco. Nice job docking, and some excellent line handling by Marie! She could be a cowgirl with those lasso skills.
@@tiatauscher1303 - Thanks! I think Marie is one of the best line handlers on the water. But don’t tell her that. We don’t want her getting a big head. 😂
That was a nice job docking. Not a fiasco at all in that strong current. Got it on the second try. That dinghy should have moved up to the head of the dock.
@@bradhines8689 - Thanks! I was a little concerned about saying the dinghy was in my way so I’m glad other boaters understood. Had he been at the head of the dock as you pointed out, I could have just come bow in right along side the dock which would have kept the current from turning me.
I only have docking problems like that when there are 15-20 people watching.
@@charlesdavenport2543 😂😂😂 - so true!!! The difficulty of docking is directly correlated to the number of people watching!
Mid 80s sunny and humid in NY.
@@Vance-ik9ck - nice ! Are you doing the loop or just hanging out in home turf.
@@CruisingThisOldBoat the only time I’m on a boat is when I’m with Dominic and Tammy
@@Vance-ik9ck - we were discussing that after I answered. We weren’t sure if you had a boat or not. Have you seen Dominic lately? I think he’s up in that area.
@@CruisingThisOldBoat he’s on the Erie Canal now. Weather permitting. I’m going with him and Tammy next week.
@@Vance-ik9ck - Cool ! Tell him we said hi. We miss hanging out with all you guys. You planning a trip down to the keys this winter?
Break out another thousand get a bimini for dinghy........
@@doncritzer2798 😂😂 - we’ve thought about it but it’s not high enough on our priority list to justify the expense - maybe after a few more days like this 😉
