  • Follow the crew of Happy Ours down the coast of New Jersey to Atlantic City as we make our way South on our 1700+ mile cruise from NY to Cape Coral Florida on our 2006 Meridian Sport bridge.
    In this episode, we brave Manasquan inlet due to rough seas on the Atlantic Ocean. We follow the NJICW ( New Jersey Intra Coastal Waterway ) through the canal and Barnegat Bay. We discover the depths too shallow south of Little Egg Harbor so decide to run the historically dangerous Little Egg Inlet with its breakers and shoaling.
    Will we make it through to Atlantic City?

    Great video Capt. Very informative and the boat did great for you guys. Looks like you and your brothers are having a great time! That trip up and down the ICW is on my bucket list. Still looking for that right boat though. Looking forward to your next video. Safe travels.

    We moved our 2005 Silverton 34c from Barnegat Inlet to the Outer Banks last month. Got a chuckle from your comments about the 2 to 3 footers off the Jersey Shore and Little Egg Inlet. That's beautiful conditions compared to many other days out there.
    We ran outside from Barnegat Inlet to Virginia Beach. Then we doubled back through the entrance to the Chesapeake and ran the Virginia Cut the rest of the trip to Manteo.

    Wow ! Hey fantastic footage. I've lived in Southern California all my 56 years and i have never been up that way thank you for allowing me to live vicariously and saving me a "Whole lota Money" 😊 Excellent Optics from the water surface. Views of the city, of the rural terrain and all of the other views, and sharing the steps you took in the planning and adjustments of the trip. absolutely appreciate it. Made me feel as if I was on the boat itself and yes good exercise moves advice from your wife, especially the air punches or was she really punching out Nants? 😊 I can understand the apprehension bout being on the open waters. It gets pretty rough just going from Newport Beach to Catalina. Thanks again

    Excellent Video Series of your ICW Trip NY to FL. All episodes were great, well done, thanks for making them available.
    Note: You happened to video me aboard my boat s/v "Wonder" Hunter36' in ep5 at 4:34 to 4:39 / 16:14. We passed each other in opposite directions when you were leaving the Point Pleasant Canal heading South, I was solo entering that Canal heading north at Bay Head, NJ (destination Sandy Hook Bay then NY Harbor). What an excellent day.

    I’m a little late to your series but love it! I rent and live in the little Shantys right below the red arrow @11:22. They started out as 200 year old boat houses for racing moths that have been in their family and converted into tiny rentals over the water. When boat go buy the whole building rocks to the waves. I keep my 69’ 13 foot whaler out back on the dock. It’s a wild area with million dollar views for sure.

    My old stomping grounds! I grew up on Barnegat Bay in the 70’s. The PP canal was crazy when not slack tide. The problem is the water level of the Manasquan river is higher than Barnegat Bay. There’s no lock, just that canal.

    funny. this came across my feed and i didn't look at details. I'd be heading from MA to Cape Coral. Not close to the size boat you have. But it would be more of a stop until the conditions aren't insane and staying locally.

    New subscriber from the UK. I love these videos. I have no boating experience but just love boats and the sea. I am fascinated by the experience you must have gained on your travels. I have a question. If in certain situations you need to keep the green buoy on the left, at 2:13 shouldn't the boat coming towards you have been on the other side of the buoy or am I misunderstanding the principle?

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  Рік тому +1

      The red right return rule can get flipped around when you are on the intracoastal waterway. When traversing the ICW, the reds are on the mainland side in Florida.

      You don’t need crazy money for a boat. Buy what you can afford. Every boat has its benefits and brings adventure and enjoyment. Smaller used boats are reasonable. If you are mechanical and handy, you save yourself thousands in maintenance.
