A quick video of our recent launch after 9 months out of the water. Some seacocks serviced, some replaced, but all checked. So many people seem to take for granted that boats are just water tight, they’re not. Take care, and check all Seacocks when you are lifted. Give yourself good time to replace if needed, alongside a drying pile can be a rush and sometimes not enough time. And make sure all cocks are checked whikst you are held (preferably in slings at the yard).

Video of our boating trip on the Silver River and the Ocklawaha River in Ocala, Florida. The Silver River Springs are the largest artesian springs in the world. Ocala, Florida, is known as the "Horse Capital of the World" because it has more horses than any other county in the United States. On the full version of this video: https://youtu.be/np4Y2tWLSY4?si=cMFGyz7M6gNHFZe4 at minute 5:30 along the Ocklawaha River we think we heard the wild monkeys: "Yes, there are wild rhesus macaque monkeys in Silver Springs State Park in Florida: Origin - The monkeys are native to Asia and were released into the park in 1938 by a boat tour operator to attract tourists. Population - There are an estimated 400 monkeys in the park at any given time. They can be found roaming the riverbanks and trees along the Silver River. Behavior - The monkeys can be aggressive and nasty and may chase people down for long periods of time. They can also get aggressive if people try to feed them or get too close."
