2nd Time Driving my 70' Yacht! Part 1

Learning to drive my 1981 70' Hatteras in one of the worst places do drive a boat!!! The New River in Fort Lauderdale is one of the hardest waterways to navigate. In fact, it's so difficult that the insurance companies require anything over 100' be towed in.

Join me for the first half of my second driving lesson. This video is getting from the dock to the open water. It was the day after the crane fell on the 3rd Ave bridge, so it was touch and go if we'd even be able to have the lesson. The bridge was still closed at 1am when I finally gave up and went to sleep. Luckily, it reopened the next morning just in time. I was a nervous wreck, so I didn't do very well going out, but I was determined and it was a lovely day on the water!

Captain Jim Hensen is here to teach me to drive the boat! Sven, another proud Hatteras owner, came along too! He's been a little gun shy about driving his boat, so he wanted to see first hand what it was like to drive down the river as a noob!

Shout out to Chris Gooseman, aka the Goose! He cleaned up the audio on the flybridge so you could hear the captain giving direction. www.baselineaudio.com
