@@NIN34 Thanks! Hope you watch enjoy the rest of our loop adventure which is still in production 😀

Thanks! Algonac is lovely. We enjoyed North Carolina - especially the seafood that video is coming.

Thanks Hugh we really appreciate it. The blog on our website at adventuresofyorksieandme.com is close to real time so you can see where we are at the moment :-). Thanks again for the kind words.

Hi Jeannie and welcome to the channel. Yorksie has a little round pillow, and a little square pillow for everyday napping, and a giant soft human pillow that goes on the floor when it gets bouncy. She's quite the Sea Dog, only got Sea Sick once so far on the Great Lakes. 4 tiny toy poodles, AWESOME do you have any pictures to share? We would love to see them on Yorksie's facebook page. Happy Travels and Thanks again for your comments Alan & Darina

Thanks you will love it!

Thanks! We're having a lot of fun making them.

Thanks for the comment. When its 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity everything looks crappy :-)

@@theadventuresofyorksieandme Understand the frustration. Thanks for clarifying. Look forward to seeing your stops around the lakes in particular.

I'm local too, I agree St. Clair Shores is nice. But Port Huron isn't exactly Grosse Pointe, there's definitely some ghetto area's.

@@fkrr5 I have worked in Port Huron for decades. It has the feel of a city that time has passed. South of the Black River there are small houses that could stand some paint. But calling PH a 'ghetto' is harsh. .. Anyway my comment to them was about the tenor of their commentary. I don't click on a site to find out what is wrong with their visit. I want to know what was attractive that I might want to go and see.

Thanks you captured the spirit of what we are planning to do with our videos perfectly. Really appreciate it!

Hi! We're seriously contemplating folding bikes.

Thanks for the comment! adventuresofyorksieandme.com. It is in the page header but KZfaq does not make it easy to find! On the website is a blog that covers just the Great Loop stuff with more technical detail.

Hi Scott. We will definitely do that.

Darina and I also own a 27’ Express which definitely puts us in the go fast crowd. That being said we would never pass a sailboat, or people fishing, or someone going 5, 6 knots while blasting along at 25 knots plus! The Detroit River - and parts of New Jersey - were full of power boaters blasting by seemingly as close as they could. As you’ll see in a not yet released episode one fellow in NJ waked us so bad in shallow water the swimstep hit the bottom!!

@@theadventuresofyorksieandme I think it's important to be courteous and attempt to pass in a respectful manner, and create distance when possible. I also know that If I passed you going 12-20 knots it would make a much larger wake than if I'm going 25+ knots. Speed is your friend in that case as the wake is reduced. Unless ultimately the person passing you is going slow to no wake speeds, which also can be nearly impossible to pass people, because the vessel being overtaken also doesn't slow down enough. Some fast boats are rude, but some slower boats are also rude. I would say they should try to create space, but beyond that if they're not in a now wake zone and attempt to be courteous, what more can you ask?

@@buroakridgehomestead5995 Absolutely. Call the boat ahead of you on 16. Announce your intentions. Agree on the pass side. If you’re the vessel being overtaken, slow down for sure. When you do the rivers it’s critical etiquette for the commercial tows. Thanks!

Funny! That URL was already taken ;-)

Thanks Vine, you're spot on with this comment. Check out episode two which documents the restoration work I did on the boat before departure I think you'll enjoy it. In the next episode you'll see how I solved the valve cover leak. Thanks again for the comments

Reality will break a hasty repair. Watched to many people taking shortcuts that come back to haunt them. Like not changing Both fuel filters!
