Your crossing wake video just showed up on my KZfaq feed. Now I have to watch you from the beginning. Started Great Loop searches about 4 or 5 years ago. And only 2 of the original ones I started watching put out more than a handful of videos and actually finished the loop. And they were from just a couple of years ago. Don't have much criteria to keep watching, but knowing you finished will get me to watch them all. Plus from what I saw in the last video, you're very relatable. Really want to do the loop, worried I'm gonna be the guy no one wants to travel with. Hahaha. Everyone loves the wife so shouldn't be a problem. If you're wondering what to do now, you cn always go for the platinum burgee

How exciting to get so many views in the last couple days! Thank you for watching!! Sorry for the delay in responding, we were anchored after Christmas and internet/cell service has been spotty. Episode 2 is done; we are on the move today so as soon as we get to good internet we will upload it. And even more episodes are on the way, so please subscribe and get notifications of future episodes.

I've been looking at the Sea Ray 390 MY as a possible loop boat. I know the boat has been used to do the great loop but I have not seen any videos on it. There is also very few videos on the Sea Ray 390 MY at sll except for the ones for sale. It would be nice to see one go through a survey and then watch someone learn how to use the boat. I'm just trying to get you to do one. Good luck with the survey. I hope all goes well.

Thank you for watching! Congratulations and good luck! Good luck on the trip from Galveston through New Orleans. There are some great anchorages and make sure you get fuel at Shell Morgan. Also, check out the municipal marina in Sabine Pass - they had fuel and a nice transient dock. They will even drive you to the small store down the road if you need provisions. If you need more info, just let me know!

Congratulations, you did the most difficult item The Day you cast off and that was "casting off". If you get the opportunity let us know how you are planning the overall adventure. Clockwise or counterclockwise. It can be done both ways. Some of us are not familiar with the local stops along the way and it's a little difficult to figure the general root you are taking. Best wishes for a safe voyage. I'm rooting for you!
@adventuresaboardmiracle Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! You are right, casting off was hard but we decided to just do it. We are going counter-clockwise around the loop. We started in Kemah, went through New Orleans, then the coast of Mississippi. Our loop officially started at the mouth of Mobile Bay as we continued east into the Florida panhandle. We will be going down the west coast of Florida then up the east coast next spring.

Hello, I am a Captain on Lake Erie, who also is going to be starting the great loop. I have hosted a few loopers at my slip/marina near Toledo Ohio on Lake Erie. I would like to invite you to spend a few days while on your loop here with us.. I make an AWESOME steak on the grill, called the "Captains Steak". A special treat from my years i the U.S. Coast Guard. I have a 1987 Marinette Sedan Bridge, she's only 32 feet, but she's an incredible ship.! When you get closer to the north end, Call me, PLEASE..!
