MV Do It Now: Coinjock to Great Bridge

On March 27, 2024, I cruised from Coinjock, NC to the Great Bridge free dock at Chesapeake, VA. The cruise took about 3 hours, but I tried hard to record only the interesting parts and got it down to less than an hour. Highlights: Passing other boats, including two barges, going through three drawbridges, docking at Great Bridge. Narrated, of course. (Can you imagine me not talking?)
My goal is to make more videos about my Great Loop boating trip and other cool things I do. Support me by subscribing to this channel, liking this (and other videos), and commenting on this video to let me know what you like, don't like, or want to see.

Maria, really interesting watching this as I live in this area. Watching this in August, live in Great Bridge, and drive over those bridges every day. That sunken sailboat has been joined by another junked boat, and we are trying to get both hauled out and put in a dump. Do not know why the city allows this. Thanks for all of the great commentary, and safe travels!

I’m a huge fan of these long videos! Perfect camera angles so I feel like I’m in the boat with you! Thank you! 🙏

LOL! I'm glad someone likes them! I don't think most folks have the attention span to stick with me for so long.

Oh, what a wonderful thing. Alone with a good dog on the water.

Hi Maria, found your R44 videos last week, I’m about to solo a R44 this month! Have always dreamed of the Great loop! Congrats & Godspeed! My wife & I will be following your loop journey! Love that ranger ship! Before kids, we had a 24 Sundancer for Catalina. Love your loop flag on the bow!

Good luck with the R44. I miss mine but these days, I’m really enjoying the boat. The Loop will be waiting for you when you’re ready to cruise.

You are cruising my neck of the woods in this video. I cross that channel you are running when I leave Tulls Bay, heading East to Corey’s Ditch, fishing for catfish & Strippers. I normally pass Day board 76. That sunken sailboat is currently re-floated. It’s a hug old boat that catches one’s eye for sure. I cross that bridge frequently. Nice video.

I remember feeling how spooky that boat was with its mast sticking out of the water. Thanks for watching!

3:19 I would love to know more about using a radar and showing the boats location on radar. Many thanks!!

I will do a video about that in the future. I have the ability to display my chart plotter on a mobile device and will do videos where I record my tracks and things like that. It's on my list. I just don't have the time lately to edit video! I'm still traveling.

15:35 1.4 Gallons per mile seems like a lot of gas consumption! I'm guessing it can get pretty expensive cruising this way? Are there any strategies for covering the distance without so much fuel?

@MariaLanger 4 ай бұрын

Slower speeds reduce fuel consumption. So does planning your cruise to take advantage of tidal currents. I do this when practical.
