ICW Boat trip - NY to Florida Ep.1 - Hudson River

Goodbye Shady Harbor! Captain Tom and Admiral Brigitt begin the boating journey south on the Hudson River working their way To Florida via the intra coastal waterway. We’re calling it a reverse half loop as we head to our new home in Cape Coral Florida along the path of America’s Great Loop. Join us on our 341 Meridian sport bridge that we’re taking this trip on during the highest gas prices ever experienced! Time to go looper speed!

In this episode, we begin our journey. Say our goodbyes to our home Marina and head from New Baltimore NY to Bear Mountain on the mighty Hudson River. Watch Brigitt pass time with some workout videos, taking the sun and cooking steaks.

Please like and subscribe and stick around for each leg of our journey!

I served at West Point. You're right, it never gets old. You passed South Dock in the video. Looks like the cadets training.

I live 5 minutes from Croton. That seaplane has been causing problems for emergency responders for a long time. People think the plane is crashing when they see it doing touch and go's.

THX 4 SHARING!
Hudson is notorious for floating trees. Ran into one at night yrs ago and it destroyed all 3 outdrives on a 50 Fountain "little Maria".

Used to fuel up at Panco all the time. Lowest price on fuel. We also used them for propane at home.

At the 2:00 mark that is a barge for unloading cement ships. I truck out of that plant(Lehigh in cementon). Love watching yachts and tugs go by on my break.

I was surprised there wasn't a quick shot of the Hudson/Athens lighthouse, but I loved the video. My old boating/stomping grounds!

Hi both, greetings from Malvern UK. We were recommended to your channel by the algorithm onto ep.10/11 and watched through to 14. As you are able to see, we back tracked to ep.1 We are enjoying and hope to do the ICW with friends from Scituate who have done the transit to Florida already. Go well and may your tanks always be topped off!

Great trip. Thanks for taking us a long.

I used to live in a house that was on a dead end road out in the country. The train tracks were 5 miles away so you could just hear it going through town. But 8 years ago we moved into the village and our house is less than 200 feet from the tracks. We get about 3-4 trains a day. At first I thought I was going to go crazy but now it barely wakes me up at midnight and again at 5am. I could easily listen to it all night if there was no horn. But we're also next to two crossings in a row, so they lay on the horn way too long.

Less than 1.5 miles per gallon! Florida is an expensive distance away.
