- We bought a yacht! Don't worry, you'll still get bike touring videos, but since this channel is all about adventure, we've added another adventure aspect to the "flavor" of the channel.
In this episode, we drop the news of the boat on you, show you some boat projects, and then splash it for the first time as new owners. We found a 1997 Bayliner 2855 and had her shipped from NJ to SC, where we had some minor repairs done at Dolphin Cove Marina in early May. On Apr 1, we took off for her new home in Barefoot Marina SC. In this episode, we get as far as Georgetown SC

Dig that boat!!!!!!! Amazing forklift!!!! And a Ghostbuster reference!!!! 😉👍👍
"The light is green...the trap is clean" - it's the first thing I could think of when I installed the CO2 cylinder. I'll have to work in a Three Amigos reference next time - maybe if Kath gets me a sweater....
We have a 1998 2885 and nothing beats waking up on the anchor in the morning.
We have a dinghy that hinges up on the back. It’s a life saver for the dog to make quick trip to shore or grab ice without docking.
Have fun and enjoy the new adventures to come.
Yeah - we're thinking about putting a dinghy on the back and happy it has good success for you. Right now, our boat is sitting in Georgetown since Apr 2 since the engine wouldn't start. The mechanic is trying to (a) find the source of the problem as to why it's not providing a spark to the spark plugs, and then (b) repair the engine so we can take it to Barefoot Marina in Myrtle Beach. Once there we can start planning more adventures.
I really like the layout of the boat - just enough for the two of us, and we can have more people on during the day if we want to.
@@AdventuresWithPaul The bravo 3 outdrive is known for corrosion issues so keep it painted and protected. It’s a big expensive to replace.
The money you put in it is worth the enjoyment,Serenity and the escape she’ll provide.
Congratulations! You're in store for so many good times!
Yup. Now we just have to get it from Georgetown to Myrtle Beach. Stay tuned...
Congratulations! Be safe. Have fun.
Yeah - we had our life preservers on crossing Charleston Harbor. I kept my eye on the depth finder and the charts and the GPS. There's a lot more to it but damn, it's a blast!
@@AdventuresWithPaul is your intention to live on this and travel? I knew a guy at work, a consultant that worked in BIA, I forget his name but he and his wife sold their house and everything they had and bought like a 100' sailboat and lived on it for 5 years. They traveled up and down the intercoastal waterways from like Maryland to Texas. After 5 years they came back to land life and had some wonderful stories.
Intention is to take extended travels (probably weeks or months) and still return to our home port. First extended trip will most likely be around the Albemarle Sound and outer banks. Then maybe the Chesapeake. Head north in the spring, cruise in the summer, and return in the fall - then we can winter in the south. At least that's the plan.
@@AdventuresWithPaul sounds very exciting. Enjoy your journey. Hope to see you both soon.
Bravo 3 drive?
yes - good eye. The boat has the carbureted 454 with the bravo 3. The 2 props counter-rotate which is pretty cool.
Why did you "new-factory sealed boat". have mold? Black mold is very toxic.
Turns out it was only dirt from condensation.
@@AdventuresWithPaul it is good that it wasn't mold.. very hard to get rid of.
