2025 Boating Season Summary - Episode 227

Описание: 2025 wasn’t a perfect boating season. From winter prep and launch-day chaos…to overheating engines, oil leaks, and ruptured hoses...and aborted trips. But this season did remind us that boating isn’t about flawless trips or perfect systems.

It’s about learning, patience, persistence — and the moments that make the effort worth it.
In this video, we look back on the highs, the lows, and the lessons from our 2025 boating season. If you’ve ever questioned why you boat, wrestled with an engine problem, or found peace on the water, you’ll probably recognize yourself somewhere in this story.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, offered advice, and came aboard to lend a hand! We’re grateful for this community and looking ahead to what the next season holds.
