We cruise the Hatteras Yacht up the Intracoastal Waterway from Beaufort to Coinjock, North Carolina. We anchor in Alligator River than hit some rough waters on the Albemarle Sound before settling in with a delicious Prime Rib dinner at Coinjock Marina.

Nice. I particularly enjoyed this episode because it was a little different in that it focused on the beauty of the area you were cruising through without in-town hustle and bustle. Rain - it happens, and that’s when you nap or repair something and make a warm soup. Anchoring instead of restaurants. It reminded me of the self sufficient aspect of yachting where you make the party in your own floating home and enjoy it on its own. Dinner looked spectacular. Don’t get me wrong…. I love good restaurants and a lively night out for sure, but dinner in with no one around is one of the best parts of boating sometimes, I think. And big bonus…. not one, but Two Rogers Outs!! Sweeeet!! And it seems like your videography is getting even better. Very enjoyable to watch and live vicariously. Glad you are sharing it with us.

The gear ratio is not right on the upper helm. One full turn of the wheel is only 5 degrees on the rudder. On the lower helm it is 10 degrees. So what looks like a big move at the wheel is actually me making a minor course adjustment.

Very nice to see your video covering that anchorage. BTW - we locals pronounce it Pam-li-co (not Pamleeco); sorry not sure how to type the pronunciation, lol.

Got a question for you guys. At timestamp 4:35, have u guys thought about redoing all the cushions around the table? Reason I ask is because that cloth looks worn smooth out and plus it probably takes them forever to dry out once they are wet. They have so many different options that you can choose from now a days! Plus it would update the look of that area of your boat tremendously!! Love your channel and keep up the amazing work…..Mark from Grand Lake, Oklahoma!!

Hi there, I don't often comment but I always like and am subscribed. However I gotta ask - why do you always have to fiddle with the wheel? Is there an issue with the boat that causes you to continually adjust left then right. I've been on many boats and have never had to do this. Is it something to do with Hatteras yachts? Don't they make way properly in a straight line? Is it current/water distrubance from other boats? The corridoor you are following can't be that wavy? Apologies I don't mean this in a dissapproving way, just curious. I really enjoy your videos. The ICW/Loop is on my bucket list (with of course a trip over to the bahamas). Thank you for your videos

@tryingnottosink9107 2 жыл бұрын

It depends. Sometimes I am fighting a current or following seas, but it is often because the gear ratio is not right on the upper helm. One full turn of the wheel is only 5 degrees on the rudder.

Hey captain how you doing. love your videos! I always wonder why you are correcting your steering so much in the ICW? steering leaking? rudders not straight? Too much current? I thought it's pretty much straight on the ICW.

@tryingnottosink9107 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on what you are watching. The ICW is far from straight. We often have cross currents, or when crossing wide bodies, we may get following seas. Our upper helm takes a lot more to turn the boat then the lower helm. We are looking for solutions. It is more a pain in the neck than anything.
