- Hey All! Sorry for the huge delay in posting. I have been extremely busy this summer working in the marine industry, making money to fix up the boat to keep adventuring! I recently made a website where I am selling InTooDeep T-T-Shirts to help support my travels! I also made a Patreon. If you would like to support my work and travels check it out!

Thanks for watching! -Gus

Hi There,
I am a retired senior who just sold his last boat recently due to physical restrictions and I had to tell you that your video's are not only the best content I've seen in a long time, they also give me the same type of enjoyment I had boating all my 25 years.
Keep up the good work.
What type of boats did you own ?
@@dougnashzhe has no clue. About anything…
@@tylermarier2034???
This is the stuff I like to see.
Everyone else does yacht tours and tells you how great it is to be on the water, and that's great, but you actually took us there with the weather and everything,
great video.
💯 exactly this, that's why I love this channel and Gus
You were born in the wrong century. Or at least you were a 1970s kid in another life. Wish there were more like you - drive and a sense of adventure, and epic taste in music.
Mom grew up in the 70’s dad in the 60’s 😊
masyer chef 1976 too 2006 kobg trips
What material you used to put on the wood varnish?????@@SuperSk8rmom
He is an old soul he has the wisdom and hustle of somebody in his late 60s . I do marine repair for a living and he blew my shit out of the water and I am in my late 60s I never worked in inboards I am a desert rat
If Coldplay is your definition of "epic taste in music" then I feel bad for you... 😂 There's more good music being made now than ever, but for some reason people like you can't figure out how to find it. Contrary to what you say, 50 years ago young people were much less likely to be able to gather the info necessary to renovate a boat like this unless they were born into it. If it weren't for the internet, he'd be much more likely to end up slaving away in a factory somewhere with no path for upward mobility.
Gus Dude. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us all! Very cool journey to say the least!! Your Hatteras is a ROCK for sure!! However, it is YOUR perseverance and awesome hard work that makes this an awesome sea worthy Yacht for sure!! Cannot wait to see the part 2. You are one hard working Hombre my Brother!! Stay safe, and keep on keeping on my Man!! Thank you again!!
Way ,way too long. Make two episodes next time.
This just proves the quality and reliability of the 12v Cummins
Mika's anti grav sesh was an awesome demonstration of the sea state. That boat is a tank! Great content as usual Gus, the time-lapse segments brilliant. Looking forward to part 2 ❤
You should try Rain-X on your windows to sheet the water and better visibility.
You should wear life jacket when up deck, running offshore like you're doing.
If you fall you die either way in rough water
I have no problem waiting 21/2 months for these videos. They are worth the wait.
I was wondering where you went, that looks like a great place to work. Always good to catch up with your videos keep up with tham as you can Great video Cheers
Dude rolling through that storm in legit boss mode.
Your boat can take a lot more than that. It is a Hatteras. When you can no longer sea the wave tops from the cockpit, then you will know how seaworthy that boat is. Now whether or not you can take it is a different story.
Growing up in Cocoa Beach, I always wanted to take this trip and also go from the headwaters of the Saint John’s to Jacksonville. But now I am a quadriplegic in a wheelchair. You never know what may happen and it’s awesome to see someone following their dreams! Super cool man and a great edit.
Grew up in Merritt Island.
Wow dude I am so sorry man. I worry about my health all the time in my late 60s sorry to hear that God Bless you man
I'm sorry for your situation. How did this happen?? Not being nosey but.......
Btw your yacht looks incredible for the age and she performed like a beast.
What a great video! I lived on a wood 40' Monk trawler in Seattle, San Diego and San Francisco when I was in the Navy. I got transferred from San Diego to San Francisco so I took her up with my father and grandfather. Your experiences remind me of the thrills and anxieties, especially running at night. That was 30 years ago and I really enjoyed seeing this. I know it's tough to find moorage in Florida but I'll be eager to see what it looks like in Maine. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for your service Peter!
I'm glad your back Gus. Knew you were working away and taking lots of videos for us here. No worries if it takes some time to get these cut together and posted. I can't wait to watch this adventure, but I'm taking a minute to post a comment first to help get the video out to more people. Cheers
...you're....
I'm a Mainer who lives in Southwestern Tennessee now, I lived in Lewiston Maine from 1978 to 2007. My heart goes out to my four friends that were tragically killed in that senseless shooting in Lewiston Maine a few days ago and to the other 13 families that lost their loved ones my prayers are with you!
Condolences to you on the lost of your friends.
@@bahamasking2063thank you I appreciate it
I been in Lewiston few times last year and im from mass. Breaks my heart it happened there
@@tonytrumble Welcome
I am sorry, a loss of family or friends is hard enough but to such a way makes it that much more difficult sorry again love and peace from Ct
Welcome back Gus! You're opening statement made me laugh LOL so don't beat yourself up too bad. You don't need to be a slave making us UA-cam videos even though we love them but you do have a life to live and don't have that much free time when you have to work for a living. But your timing is perfect today, I really needed this, so thank you❤
@23:20 you got soooo lucky dude! That could have damaged the engine leaving you with one in that mess! Glad you made it to dock safely! Sweet video man, love the series
Epic journey mate. Thanks for bringing us along. Love watching your ventures.
Badass. You know you're salty when you bust out the 6 on/6 off watches. Steaming 24/7 in the open ocean is the real deal, reminds me of my last sea tour. Folks who haven't done it wont understand.
You should look into a dual racor rig for each engine. That way you can run off one while you clean out the other and you never have to worry about fuel starvation at 0200 in 20kts 😅
Love this channel ❤
I think people are strange when they like someone because they remind you you doing something…
@tylermarier2034 I think you're strange for posting such a bizarre comment.
As a suggestion those Perspex covers over your fly bridge gauges ( which are crazed) replace it with 6 mm laminate glass, it’s super cheap and lasts forever. I replaced all my Perspex windows on my yacht with slightly tinted laminate 6mm. Best thing I ever did.
Gus,
You bought an absolute beauty of a boat.
When I was a teen,
my neighbor owned a Hatteras sport fisher that I used to care for.
I loved going fishing offshore of the Hudson canyon off LI NY.
Great times, great memories.
I love your channel!🙏🏼👍⚓⚓⚓🛥
God bless. 🙏🏼💝
Great video showing the capabilities of a Hatteras even a beat down hurricane special. Loved it!
Very proud to say your '68 Hatteras was built in my home town of New Bern, North Carolina. I fondly remember watching boats like your going down the Neuse River on ther shakedowns.
I really enjoy your videos, Gus. I think you're doing a great job on the Hatteras. That bad boy is built like a tank and should be able to handle most seas you encounter near shore. I was wondering, being such an old boat, do you have a lot of leaking? Anyway, keep it up, man (living vicariously through you at the moment).
Been around boats all my life but I've never been on something that big and I would always in my dreams love to be able to do it my one question to you is how much was the fuel cost because these big boats don't get miles to the gallon they get gallons to the mile
Little pro tip: wear lifejackets on deck when you are at watch alone.... awesome video though... fellow sailors ;-)
I like your video's !! I spent my youth on the water (with my parents, bargemen on the Rhine in the Netherlands) and I love it !! You got balls hahaha. Life your live as you like !! Stay alive😊 greetings Netherlands 👊
And at 8:00 min, about falling off, maybe an Inflateable life vest and an EPLIRB ? EPLIRB (?) may not be the Correct name, but a locater beacon type thing. Great video !!
That to me would be the ultimate vacation I've never really been on vacation except for when I was young with my parents. Just seeing this video It's extremely satisfying you have no idea.
Watch out for containers that fall off then ship's Bro
We hit one once in a Sailing boat ⛵ Took out the Rudder
Luckily the boat was steel and we didn't Sink
Having said that
Love ya boat looks awesome hope you enjoy
Great to see you back and the adventure looked great!
Just finished watching your trip from Miami to Moorehead City, NC. What a trip it was during the 20+ knot winds... Wild.! If you would, let us see your chart plotter up close for just a few seconds so we can see you speed over water and dept of water. I'm a sailor and on a good day can do 7-8 knots.... Look forward to your next video on your trip to Portland Maine. Let us know how to avoid the dreaded diesel fuel algae slime... Thanks!
20knots is barely anything mate professional fisherman work out in that weather all the time.
This video made me realize I much I miss being out in the ocean.
Thanks for posting! You are NOT a POS at all. Those who don't get that you are busy can ef off - LOL. Always enjoy your adventures!
Great Video and gutsy taking a trip solo. Did you estimated the amount of diesel you spent and total cost you spent in diesel you used for this trip?
The bad weather proved one thing, the fuel is clean. 👍👍
you should invest in a new camera. Is like watching Baywatch from the 90's. 😁
That’s so cool to see someone doing I’m from Winslow I didn’t know anybody did anything like that around here that’s a new life goal man keep it up I’m definitely gunna give you a like and subscribe keep it up man awesome video
So so glad to see that you’re back on. Don’t keep us hangin so long. Love your videos, they’re awesome.
Hey Mister :) Nice tunes. Thanks for sharing. I miss this so much. I had a boat in shoreline CA and used it often. I miss those overcast grey dark green overtoned cloud mild sea days cruising with the dolphins, the engines synked, the sound of the water making way for the bow 20kts and screeming at the top of my lungs just me and God. My son and I did alot of coastal trips and had our share of ...... advetures...12 kts in the water 3 kts over ground dishes flying deck leaving your feet. surfing unintetionally down a rearward swell rolling the boat over one screw out of the water type of stuff. (sigh) It happens out there however when I saw the look on my daughters face when she saw a baby dolphin playining with her mom following us in the wake while the bull males protected them....priceless. It is those things that gets you hooked and you feel as though you will ever be without it? I hope not and wish you many days with your lover the sea. Best regards to you in all your endeavors, Thomas
More young people should go make this kind of stuff happen !! Where there’s a will there’s a way every time. You are awesome
Yeah well I have a job and responsibilities you know..adult stuff.
I wish I had the money to just buy a yacht and cruise hahaha
You should record weather conditions, wind, wave height, your speed, fuel consumption, etc. thru passages, especially on the rough seas you had out of Boca
I was wondering how you have the Star Link attached to the deck? It looks to be firmly planted on the cabin top but with the heavy seas did you have to do anything extra like you did with the solar panels? Loving the beautiful sea conditions for this passage.
Great video! I wouldn't take that boat out again before having the entire fuel system cleaned out professionally.
If it weren't for the courage of the fearless crew the minnow would be lost😂
That was an awesome video of the beginning trip to Maine. I could not but roll over in laughter from the good air Mike got in his slumber starboard bunk. LOL That sludge in the filters was scary stuff to find. Yuck lucky you were not changing them mid storm.
That was a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
You are so hard working and this is how you got your boat up and running. I look forward to part two keep up the good work awesome.
I just finished going from Fort Lauderdale to Maine on a 48-foot Tyanna
sailboat. It took us over 10 days.
48 foot picnik boat now hybrude
Damn nice boat. I’m an Australian sailor with offshore 5000 nm on my yachts (all bass straight and southern ocean). I’m 70 now and sold my yachts but my dream would be to do the ICW.
That was truly a great video! I felt like I was on the trip with you the whole way, which beats the hell out of my daily rut in life. Thanks dude!
Why you didn't have a PFD on, with a personal EPIRB when running a vessel solo in foul weather is... well... concerning.
Awesome vid mate! Just love that Hatteras. The old school build quality is world renown. Bloody jealous much! Thanks for your work in getting these vids out.
only 23 mins in and that looked WILD coming into port... You should mount a gopro or something when you need to go full captain mode because those were some hairy seas you navigated. well done Cap.
Great to see you back buddy. Great video. Can't wait to see more. Noticed you talking about a hazmat endorsement, are you a trucker? I am. You're doing right now, what my wife and I wanna do when we retire. Plat around with boats!!😊😊
Great trip and great video. Balls to do that 2am run. No joke! I have a question. Did the spotlight in front of flybridge helm still work? Looks original. If so did it help at all on the night run.
Have been loving your content Gus. Was just in Portland for the last 3 days and was looking for the boat!! Looking forward to part II
What a great adventure, I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for letting us be a part of your journey. I really like riding along and seeing all of these amazing places. You are an amazing young man. Keep being you. Looking forward to more amazing videos. If it were not for you and your channel, I would never be able to see these amazing places. Thanks again, stay safe.
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. So far, so GOOD. We're leaving Vermilion Ohio on Lake Erie soon , ourselves. Great video. Good luck 👌 🏄
Glad you're back. I especially loved the floating Micah..How did the bad weather affect your course or your average speed?
how much did the diesel cost for the trip?
i have the EXACT make and model yacht but yours is in better shape, works, did not catch on fire, has two engines, is not taking on 3 gallons of water a day and is a lot cleaner!! looks great
My family had that same boat(50' not 53' 1968) that we lived on during the summers during the 80's. Your videos bring back such great memories, especially when your cruising through L.I.Sound up to Plymouth Massachusetts. That boat is literally tank! We ended up on top of Penfield reef(Fairfield CT.) So hard had to wait for high tide get pulled off and there was absolutely no structural damage to the haul! Shaft and props were another story.
Can't wait till you finish the refit,that boat could have another 55yrs!
Welcome back Gus! I love watching your adventures and boat repair knowledge! keep the videos coming! Cant wait to see the rest of the trip.
Hi Gus, I'm glad your well. I was thinking the other day that I'd not seen any videos.
Then I remembered that you were taking that trip! So I'm glad that everything went well, as I was thinking that you may have been caught up in a tropical storm.
I'm glad that wasn't so!
I can't wait for the next installment! 😍
if you want to see waves go south to newzealand. or south pole if you got any salt in you?
I drew up a salvage plan to recover a 34 ft Silverton off a beach for my boss, got to be in charge of bringing it back from Chincoteague, it was a fun trip and a adventure in a nutshell.
wroñg bhy new boay
Talk about small world. I was doing the termite fumigation on the boat you were next to at Hinkley in Stuart. I noticed my signs were still on it in your video 👍
yes it was pucnic boat
I’ll need to get my popcorn out and settle in for the night when watching this one! Glad you’re ok Gus! I was beginning to get worried!
Excellent content dude! I'm so looking forward to part 2.
Gus, long time no see. Nice boat! Remember, a calm sea doesn’t make a good captain. Forgot where I read that. Stay safe 🎉
MOST AWESOME VIDEO! I wish other channels would do these types of videos. 100 Thumbs up dude... OWNAGE!
Gus, Love your videos and I really like you personally! Your parents did a great job! You have the perfect amount of confidence, skill, humility, patience and stick-to-itiveness. And you seem like a really fun guy on top of all that! So this is not criticism, just a couple comments. Google "How to properly fly the flag from a yacht". (The flag company should have known the correct size flag to send) and you fly it from the stern. Boats/Yachts don't have steps or stairs, they have ladders. There is not an up stairs or down stairs, it is below, down below or below decks, and there is "topside" Google some nautical terms, you'll be a crusty old salt in no time! Keep up the great work!!!
I think you should spend more time to storing things away properly. Making sure everything is tied down properly.. if you wait for something to break before you put it in its right place it may be too late you're out there by yourself plan ahead what can go wrong will and ship straight and ship tight is not just an old saying
Gus, you NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER have to apoligize for not posting videos. Everyone should recognize that this youtube thing is NOT your #1 priority not your job --- you're dong it because you like to and it's fun to see your projects. Glad to see you made it to maine safely --- as always, thank you for sharing your journey and taking us along with you for the ride!
That zero gravity segment was so awesome. Best demonstration of what you were talking about.
Great job young man . That is my dream ( From Miami to New York)
You are truly a legend and inspiration brother, always look forward to your videos and look forward to seeing the improvements you’re going to make to the boat.
What a great video. Good job young man.
Pronounced BOWFERT in NC
BYUFERT is in South Carolina
Great to see you back - enthused me to catch our channel up too... looking forward to Part 2 very much!
Enjoy it, brother and don't forget to thank the Lord Jesus Christ that you're able to do it. Cheers
Your friend is very relaxed ! Not sure he was having fun.
Welcome back! I enjoy your videos and look forward to more. Based on the pitch and roll when you hit the ocean, I assume your Hatteras doesn’t have stabilizers. Any thought to adding a Gyro?
Thank you for a video that was informative without a bunch of bullshit, on the UA-cam shows!!!
You share very good content, and have taught me a lot over the years.
I just can’t deal with the hate !
what did you pay for a salvadged boat
Looking forward to part 2 Gus!!
Thanks for taking the time to chronicle your escapades!
Being solo shouldn’t you have some kind of remote engine kill switch or mechanism in case something weird happens
nope chef dise this all the ti.e
At 39:38 on your left you can see one of the SpaceX drone ships being towed back into port! Awesome sight!
Went through the Boca inlet like a champ👌That one and Haulover inlet are the two of the worse in south fl. I’m sure you’ve experienced it already 😅
@19.30 or so, you say the camera doesn't do justice to the sea state. THAT is because the camera uses a wider angle lense than your eyes, and your camera is flattening the image. IF you wanted the camera to show a better representation of the sea state you have to lower the camera so that the camera lens is just barely above the water...or about the level of the middle of the waves. In Hollywood they raise the cameras to make tall actors appear shorter...same thing as is happening to waves.
Awesome documentary / adventure. Thanks for doing these vids. Liked and subscribed . Cheers
Put out content whenever you can and we'll be here to watch it!
How are the new props doing did they help you in the speed at low RPM
Hey Gus, if you had to choose between the Atlantic or Gulf side of Florida for boating, which would you prefer?
Welcome back! Aren’t you getting demonetized by playing all this copyright music?
Well done, great trip, especially singlehanded. I've done that trip southbound a couple of times on different boats. However, as a Brit the 'totally awesum, and " fricking everything" is hard to hear so frequently. Perhaps on further videos you can contain your OTT enthusiastic comments a bit. Nevertheless I salute you for your endeavours.
Good grief
I love your video and your know how and spirit really is inspiring. Keep on going kid.
You really need to get into the habit of walking thru ship before passage departures and stow anything
that may cause problems.
Once the shit hits the fan it to late and difficult.
