We really love boat life. But, sometimes I really dislike living on it. Mainly when the weather starts getting cold, rainy and windy. It is these times I miss living in our house. I miss being able to let my Khaleesi run outside to go potty and not have to walk her. I miss getting right in my car without walking in the nasty elements. I am a Floridian at heart and love tge heat.
But, I would not change this life for anything!

Leaving Our Slip

We have been at Port City Marina in Wilmington NC for about a year. We picked what we thought was the perfect slip overlooking the Cape Fear River and the Marina Bandshell . But, we soon learned that our slip had shallow water and was unprotected from tge rough waters of the river and fast boats. So we decided to move slips to protect out boat.

Hurricane Debby Heads for Us!
Переглядів 1053 місяці тому
In this episode we prepare for Hurricane Debby to head our way. This storm track was very unpredictable. It came ashore in S.C as a Hurricane. Travelled at 2-3 mph. Ultimately hit us as a Tropical Storm with many tornado warnings. It took 3 days for the storm to fully pass us, speeding up to 10mph and dumping loads of rain and flooding. Tadd stayed on the boat during the storm, while Karen, Jen...
Gator in our Marina

Apparently there is a young alligator living in our marina. My boating neighbors have spotted him swimming around for the past few weeks. They said he was chomping on their boat scuppers. They thought the kitchen sink was draining out that scupper and perhaps he was trying to get some food scraps. our neighbors named him Gary! Well I am not happy about Gary. He will continue to grow. I fear he ...
Road Trip to Ocean City, Md.

We were unable to pull off our annual Crazy Cousins Weekend on the boat this year. So instead we took a roadtrip to Ocean City for Crazy Cousins week. We were thrilled to be welcomed and join in on my cousins large family reunion. Ocean City is a great beach town with so much to do. We will definitely go back one day!

Leaving Charleston. Part 5

We left Charleston at 6 am with our buddy boat Sandy Paws. We were trying to avoid the shallows of Isle of Palm and Mathews Cut. Our 2 other buddy boats, Okie Hokie and Midnight Rambler left an hour later at 7am. A predicted patchy fog was rolling in when we left. Unfortunately it soon became very dense fog with almost zero visability. It lasted a horrible 3 hours. We lost sight of our buddy bo...

Summer Festival with the Bandit Flight Team
Geezus, who doesn’t check this shit before doing the seals?! Seriously? 🤡💩🤦♂️
@@RustyKnorr .. agreed!! But in all fairness. At a glance they looked pretty good. Wasnt until they pulled shafts out ( not a quick/easy task) that we saw the imperfections. And due to age of shafts , no one would attempt to repair them.
Hi! We live here un Wilmington. Who did your strata glass? Thanks!
@@cathyprice2759 Pat is a personal friend . He has been doing canvas and strataglass/ isenglass for 10 yrs now. Can you give me your email address so we can discuss and I can forward to Pat.
Cathy, can you email me w your contact info. I will send it to Pat. kltucci@gmail.com
There is no better pump than a scared person with a bucket. Thank you for helping a boater in distress. Very glad that your efforts were successful.
@@DonnaBrowder-do5ll we were happy to help!!
What is the approximate distance from your shower to your catch basin box ? Years ago, I bought a flexible steel cable with a spring head. It's about 10 feet long and has a handle on the end so you can rotate the cable. I believe it would work to clear your clog. You could use it from both ends of your line. I believe a similar device may be available from somewhere like Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, or Amazon for around $10. Very best wishes. I am enjoying your videos. We live in Tidewater Virginia on a tributary creek of the Chesapeake Bay.
@@DonnaBrowder-do5ll distance is no more than 4 feet. Thanks for input.. will give it a try. Welcome to channel!!
... and happy anniversary to the guy who was never getting married! I remember that day, but it's hard to believe it was 25 years ago.
@@RJN82 and I swore I would never marry a 2 nd time...just was meant to be.
Glad you didn't damage the shafts or props when you hit bottom! Dolphin sightings are always a good omen.
We stayed at Morning Star on the last leg of our trip coming up from Savannah and it is very tight and usually pretty windy. Woooooo Hooooooooo!
Hey Karen and Tadd, your neighbor here from Sea Boss (old name No No Bad Dog) I didn’t realize you had a channel too. That is so cool, I look forward to watching upcoming episodes and catching up on the old ones. Also, thanks for the tip on the low tide silt with the AC strainers.
@@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss hi friends!!!. Just subscribed to yours. Jenna and I came home for some airconditioning. Not sure when we will be back!! I did not videotape that mayhem.. it was 95 ° inside while I packed!! Tadd stayed on the boat! When we get back..lets do some drinks!!
@@cruisingwiththewildherrons1793 That sounds like a great plan
What is CLYC?
Sorry ...Cypress Landing Yacht Club.. guess I should have explained that one!!😂. It is our neighborhood boating club in Chocowinity , NC.
What’s a boat unit?
A " BOAT" unit is what boaters use to refer to the cost of repairs/ upgrades, etc. It stands for Break Out Another Thousand!! We like to say BOATT... break out another Ten Thousand ..😂😂
Hi…how innovating you are. I could never know you like this any other way. Makes me truly love you more for allowing me to know and experience you. I love you Karen!🥰
I love you more!!!
Enjoyable video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this
Have a great time in Charleston!
Thank you. We finally made it.. dodging rain / thunderstorms.. Hope to have videos out in next couple weeks.
87 28 ft carver voyager.I half to replace dripless seals
Good luck. As long as the shaft is in good shape the new seals will be perfect. We have no issues w the Tides seals!!
@@cruisingwiththewildherrons1793 hoping not.
super videoo.
Thank you!
Karen, you crack me up.Happy New Year to you all
Hi Guys, I'll be in Wilmington this weekend to look at a boat. Would you give me an idea of slip fee's. If everything goes well I might have a 55' motor yacht that needs a home... Like you videos, very helpful with local info and life on a boat! Thanks, Mark
At our Marina we pay little over $1000 /month for 60ft slip on an annual lease. Great location!
That’s a great photo array, makes me want to take a road trip. It would be nice to see one of the holiday lights and decorations I bet they are beautiful. We miss you guys. Hope all is well.
@@bobvecchi304 come visit us!!! It is such a great city!!
Thank You very much!! Looking forward to boat shopping this weekend! @@cruisingwiththewildherrons1793
@@markkdstudios best of luck !! If you are planning on keeping boat near Wilmington then you should check out Port City Marina. It is in a great location!
Lol
Teens seriously try 20 blow then you can say it’s cold!!!!
I am a Floridian.. I would die in 20 below.🥶🤣
We'll stick to packing seals.
Probably a good idea!😃
We gave up on our tides marine seal could not get it to seal so it’s in with a Volvo penta seal.
That is very interesting to hear. I have to say, once we got new shafts the Tides Seals are functioning perfectly. No leaks. Our shafts did have very minor curve noted so we suspect that was our issue.
Hi guys, ,I remember taking the same route in reverse when I brought the Danielle Marie up from Carolina Beach to CL. I also stayed in Swansboro at the town dock in December. The town was very pretty all lit up for Xmas. I’m glad you guys arrived safe, and we all miss you here. We may have to take a road trip to come visit, maybe around Xmas. Our best to Jenna, love you all
Yes come visit us. !!! We are splitting time between home / boat.
What type of boat do you have
@@stevep0726 we have a 2004 Novatec 55 motor yacht. It is a great boat for distance cruising and live aboard for the 3 of us
@@stevep0726 We have a 2003 Cruisers Yachts 3750 aft cabin
Are you able to provide an approximate charge to lift your vessel out of the water? As well, what are the new shafts made of? Stainless or duplex stainless? Thank you in advance.
I believe they are stainless steel. Cost approx $1000.00 to haul out/ block and launch.
So happy you got everything fixed! Have fun on your trip to NC and stay safe love you guys😘
Thank you!! ❤❤❤
The scenery down the waterways brings back lots of great memories. Safe travels to Wilmington!
You have to come visit when we get settled at Wilmington
Love this video !! Living the good life! Love you! Have safe trip YOU GUY
Miss you
Great job! That black boat could use a little more flotation and maybe a bilge pump.
It actually had bilge pump and it was working. but waves overtook it.
Very enjoyable to watch Karen!😊
It was amazing in person!
It is difficult to unclog the drainage pipes. I must pay a professional worker to unclog my drainage pipes every 6 months due to the bad drainage design. It is always clogged by solidified grease and hairs. The worker uses a motor driven steel line with a spring-shape head. When the machine runs, the steel line spins fast to unclog and works well.😂😂
Thanks. If you have grease plughing your drains I would try Unique's Super Digest It. It will dissolve grease.
@@yangxuan5362 thanks for tip!! Hope you enjoy my videos!
Lol love you guys
Love you too!! Miss u
She looks excellent!
She is a trooper
Bless her ♥
I hope everything works out for you Jenna . You are a brave woman.
I will tell her your kind words. She is amazing & brave. We are so proud of her.
What a trooper. Speedy Recovery Jenna❤❤🩹
Thanks. I will tell her. Much love !!
Way to go guys. I saw you a little while ago tied up there. Good luck with the fuel leak.
Good feeling re fuel leak! So far..almost non existent
I learned alot!
Hope you put it to good use...lol
Haha，very funny😄😄
Thank you. We try to keep things funny and positive
Thank you Karen and Jenna.....this is awesome!
Awe thanks. Jenna was so proud! I am proud of her
Thank you Jenna for making us aware of Autism month. Great job.
Thank you from Jenna. She was so proud. And we are so proud of her!
You two are too funny! Love you 😂😂😂
Miss you!
how much did that cost ? thanks
A horrifying BOAT per foot x 2.( 19 feet long).🤬 🤑. They no longer recommend repairing shafts since they wont certify repaired ones.
@@cruisingwiththewildherrons1793 Just curious, when you say a horrifying BOAT (bust out another thousand), are you saying $1,000 per foot X 19 = $19,000 X 2 = $38,000 ???
@@maxmann8607 I cannot recall the exact total. But it was darn close . That was total : install / repeated haul outs/ etc.
@@cruisingwiththewildherrons1793 WOW! That’s crazy!! Thanks for replying. We were looking at a ‘00 sea ray 480 sedan bridge that came with two spare props and two spare shafts. I didn’t realize the value of that. Deal fell through and we ended up with a sundancer. Thanks for posting!
Hello Tadd and Family 👋 Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. This is Ruth from Kidde. Blessings!
We are all doing great. Hope you are as well. Hope you enjoy our videos.
I am starting to think maybe you could just call this cruising on the money pit
🤣Well it is an old boat. Things need upgrades and repairs. She does have good bones!
seaworthy! Interesting video, Tadd. good to know everything goes fine.
Check out our other videos. You might like the Boating Injuries one. Stay tuned for more videos.
Hey Jack. Yep, retirement is fantastic especially while my wife is still working 😆
@@taddherron34 🤑😂🤣
Congratulations you guys. The wild heron is seaworthy. I watched your whole inspection, good job.
Miss you
Congratulations you guys good to know the Wild Heron is seaworthy! I watched your whole inspection video, good job!
Thanks for watching!
get a diaper genie to handle the poops that can't be quickly disposed of at the marina.
Now that is good idea. They actually have dry toilets that twist poop right in toilet. But cartriges for it are very$$$$. We have been contemplating a composting toilet.
😆 🤣
More to come!
Beautiful video. Look forward to seeing more.
More to come!
