We were camping at Gulf Shores State Park in late April and I almost went over to the boat yard hoping I wouldn’t see the Andromeda there meaning you had moved on.

I just finished watching your latest video and I have to say that I am almost as excited as you were on your re-launch until I saw the ending smiles both of you had on your faces. It is hard for me to believe that it has been over 100 days since you have been on the hard. Just my opinion but I only ask that you do not rush the rest of the loop as this is usually a one-time cruise and I'm sure you would not want any regrets of things and places you might have missed. Anyway, congratulations on the re-launch and Godspeed on the rest of your trip. God Bless

Also, how this long delay altered your plans because it sounds like you may be getting a late start northward on the loop especially if you plan to take the Trent-Saverne canal through Canada. Good luck on your trip going forward, look forward in sharing your new adventures. 👍

Happy that you were able to get Andromeda repaired and can continue your loop. Last summer my liveaboard dragged anchor in a storm and grounded. It suffered relatively minor damage and was on the hard for 30 days- they were 30 very long, anxiety-ridden days. My wife and I know exactly how you feel when “the other woman” finally relaunches after suffering through the trauma of damage and repair. Safe travels!

You have to go to a yard with a retail tax license or whatever so they can legally sell junk to the public. I didn't hear you mention getting a flat tire so that's good. :)😅 I sure hope your sea trial goes smooth with no weird vibrations or leaks.

I was getting choked up with excitement and anticipation and relief - it’s impossible to not experience all of the raw emotion right along with you. I’ll bet you were holding your breath when she splashed, hoping against hope to not see any water coming in anywhere…and then I suspect it was really scary to push the throttles forward and run up the RPMs the first time. If you ever write an article to chronicle the experience of dealing with massive repairs, a good title might be “101 Days on The Hard”. Ugh. BTW, sixty-two minutes of footage and only about 50 seconds of it featured Ollie, but I’ll cut you some slack since there were really important things to film. He sure looks anxious and perplexed - hope he’s back in the rhythm of boat life by now. 🥰🐾⚓️

!00 plus days in Alabama. Congrats on becoming honorary citizens of the Great State of Alabama. This also means you guys are officially ALABAMA football fans, Roll Tide Roll. I'm now convinced that y'all didn't hit a tree stump. I think y'all hit a sunken U-boat from WWII. It's well documented that there were U-boats in the Gulf. Apparently, at least one went up river. God bless you guys. Such patience and optimism. Two questions: 1. When are you doing another Loop? 2. Do you have the name of Ollie's breeder? That's one heck-of-a dog........

I think we may have found the one that went up river! haha! 1)Great question and we talk about another loop or future boating plans daily.
