About

We're Brad and Debra, and in May 2027 we're taking our 1986 DeFever 57, Hot 'n Dirty, around America's Great Loop: up the East Coast, through Canada and the Great Lakes, down the rivers to the Gulf, and over to the Bahamas.

Brad is a bit of a tech nerd, so expect projects. Then more projects.

This channel is part documentary for family and friends, part how-to: navigation, life aboard, and what it takes to run and maintain a 57-foot trawler.

Riley is our Lakeland Terrier and the most entertaining member of the crew. She'll be aboard for the whole adventure, so expect to see a lot of her: on deck, in the cockpit, and supervising every project.
