Florida has a boating operation requirement. Other states do as well. See FWC safety course . I strongly recommend taking US Coast Guard Auxiliary course for both of you. USCG Captain license has days on water requirements. Have fun, be safe, be smart. Knowledge is power.
Thanks for sharing, I look forward to following along. Remember, with the AGM batteries. You only have about 50% usable total amp/hr capacity before the batteries are damaged. So knowing the Amp hours, will help you as you balance that use. If/When you switch to Lithium, you will need different chargers, as well as battery monitors. As lithium you are not able to manage the battery discharge like you are able to do so with the voltage. A victron BMV shunt would be very helpful, easy to install and program. What nav software/programs are you going to use?
Great questions and honest answers! The timing of everything sounds perfect...at least on paper! You guys clearly make a great team. If the timing works, my wife and I would love to buy you guys dinner and bring you any fun or necessary provisions somewhere along your route when you hit the Upper Chesapeake Bay in 2025.
Great informative video!! You two are so inspiring to this ‘ole mom!😊. I cannot wait to share in a few of those memories with you guys along this journey!
Looking forward too following your journey! Do you have thrusters on the boat to help maneuver in tight quarters since only a single engine? Wishing you the Best.
Hey guys, great to get a synopsis of the different things you're having to do to get ready for your big trip. Would you mind going over the costs for these milestones? Registering the boat in Fla with a new name, insurance for your boat size and age, you mentioned getting officially registered with the USCG, any cost there? Thank you so much😀

Welcome to the boating world we have been boating for fifty years we live on lake Huron 50 miles south of Tobermory Ont. ( Port Elgin ) Canada and boat the North channel which has many islands to anchor behind and the clearest fresh water is in Georgian bay .The home of the biggest fresh water island in the world that has a few hundred years of history The North Channel is .just another place that is on your trip.
Thst answers the generator question do consider the water maker carrying enough (drinking) water no board can become an issue. Speaking of Bettendorf I also lived there however that was 1949 1950 still I claim fame
There is something very strange going on with your channel. UA-cam hasn’t been showing me your content so I tried to go directly to your channel and it doesn’t show up.

You already know how much I love you’re “living the dash” and doing this! Can’t wait to visit you somewhere along the route :)
Please, please, please, set your videos up as a playlist on your page, so I can binge catch up with your journey, from start to current.
Can’t wait for the official start of your adventure.

As a fellow Iowan (Johnston, when it was small!), I envy the two of you and looking forward to your adventure! Thank you for sharing.
Cool video. Thank you and can't wait to see your voyage.
I had to Google what running a ground means so I’m not a boater but love the video as always! Thanks for all the info :)
So cool you’ll have these videos for the future little navigating Nietzels 🤍🤍
