Gas-powered vessels require active ventilation of the engine bay using blowers before starting the engines to prevent the ignition of accumulated gasoline vapors.0:57 While transiting the Florida Keys and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) toward Miami, the crew of Doodles navigated heavy concentrations of crab and lobster pots, which necessitated constant steering adjustments.1:52 The transit involved stops at Plantation Key Yacht Harbor, where the crew accessed local amenities including a city park and amphitheater, and a fuel stop near Key Largo at Gilbert's.4:09 Upon reaching a marina in Miami, the crew found the facility lacked a proper seawall or breakwater, leaving the boat exposed to wind and chop.13:30 They secured a refund for the remaining nights and relocated to Sunset Marina on Miami Beach to find better protection.14:04 The crew noted that the boat’s shallow draft allowed access to areas inaccessible to vessels with deeper keels, though they cautioned that some shallow-water marinas require high-tide arrivals.9:41
