  • The day has arrived for our departure on our Florida Mini Loop boat trip from Cape Coral Florida to The Keys.
    We’ve prepped, provisioned and prepared our 341 Meridian for the trip of a lifetime. But will we be able to do it? Weather, rain and storms have ravaged Florida this week. Should we stay or should we go now?

    I love the daily updates! We did this same trip when we picked up our Nor-tech at the factory in 2016, Loggerhead key was our favorite. Now we're living onboard full time on our sailing catamaran, currently in Curacao. BTW, we saw a Meridian 341 in the marina here is Spanish Water Curacao the other day.

    As a capt you know the most dangerous thing on a boat is a schedule. Safe travels we’ll wait for the video

    I like the plastic slipcovers on the seats. Reminds me of my Nana's living room sofa

    Happy to see that you decided to wait it out! Here is a quote from a Chesapeake waterman "If you ain't been aground, you ain't been nowhere....If you're looking for something in a fog and you git there and it ain't. damn it, you're lost."

    Hey Goomba, on this voyage you will never be more than 5 miles from a Costco or a Walmart. and theAdmiral will have you in a restaurant every other night. Relax! Circumnavigating Staten Island needs more prep and videos!

    My wife and I did the florida loop in april of 2022 from miami going north to Stuart then east to west by lake okeechobe and finally to key west and back to miami. The only place we didn't like was marco island. Enjoy your trip and be safe capt.

    You guys have really mastered enjoying life-never leave here feeling a wee bit envious and happy for you guys at the same time.
    Our lives on the”Hampster wheel” seems relentless… Feel blessed-and enjoy. You’re going to have a magnificent journey. Be safe out there-look forward to the upcoming videos.

    We had a front move through at the same time that almost ruined our fishing trip! Hoping for sunny skies and safe travels for you guys! Love the electric fly swatter- exciting when they SNAP ! 😆

    I saw a boat in Marathon today named Happy Ours. I had to do a double take.

    I have a Mantus chain hook for my anchor chain, it fits really nicely although perhaps isn't the easiest device to attach especially if the boat is bobbing up and down.

    Hi again from the Cape. You are ship shape. It's a shame the line of storms are moving through. Enjoy your trip.
    I had to subscribe again. I want to make sure you get your numbers.

    The galley cabinet between the fridge and the pantry, did that used to be a slide out? Our 2008 341 slides out and seeing yours looks like it offers more room.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs

      It was some sort of hanging locker when we bought it. We Just made shelves but a slide out sounds useful!

    How did you guys justify gasoline over diesel?

    • @lesliefleming4359
      @lesliefleming4359 Місяць тому

      I prefer diesel over gas for the economy, but at times it could be hard to find

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  Місяць тому +1

      That’s what the boat came with. I know gas engines well, but would prefer diesel if we had a choice. Maybe the next boat.

      It’s at least 600 miles. To the keys and back. Around the tip of florida.
