We are Robert and Kathleen. We are a couple of Gen X-ers living in one of the greatest port towns on Lake Michigan. Being on or around boats our whole lives we decided it was time to follow the waters to wherever the fair winds guide us.

S3E18-GREAT LOOP-LEG 48-Daytona Beach FL to St Augustine FL
We are getting an early start this morning in Daytona Beach Florida to make the trek north up the ICW to St Augustine, Florida. It is not a long run, however, the ICW in the area around St Augustine can get pretty busy and we want to beat the crowds...hopefully! But there will be unforeseen delays....

That’s a sunrise!
When did you cross your wake? Last year?
Another vicariously enjoyable passage! Love to see all the sights on a part of the Florida Atlantic coast we never explored. And it's always nice to see y'all's good crew coordination. In our case, the roles were reversed most of the time; my wife was much better at the helm than I was at the dock and in tight marinas. And ain't too proud to admit it. Really looking forward to more of the Atlantic coast scenery and especially your New England cruising.
Now that I've caught up to your journey I look forward to each post! Love St. Augustine! We were there this past spring and recognize where you docked. Look forward to your next leg!
Hope you had a chance to have a drink and lunch in the courtyard at Harry's!😎
Seems to me it wasn't all that busy, just like any other well used waterway in America on a weekend. We should be thankful for the numbers of boaters. Without "all the boaters" we wouldn't have the ICW and many other waterways maintained and available to us. It is through these numbers of boaters that we secure a voice in government to help is in our quest for our chosen recreation and hold at bay those who would stop it if they could.
11:44 my wife and I are live aboard’s in Mexico, except for the hurricane season. We plan to sell our Island Packet 445 in about 4 years and then do the loop. My question is technical related to performance and cost, when looking at this chart of speed vs RPM, and wake height i noticed the titles for the last three columns was cut off. I am guessing the third column is fuel consumption, but I have no idea that makes sense for the rest. Unless one was wake height relative to something. In any case, thanks for the videos.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing your journey!
I've been there on the ICW in Florida when the heavy fog rolls in. It's tough and always praying that the technology was telling me the truth!!! It is always a time to use extreme caution for sure. Continue to be safe my explorer friends.
You two and puppy Ollie are so sweet together!!! Fun memory makers!!
Florida my friend has changed I realize that you can't stop what is precived as progress that said I came here as a teen in 1956 and places like port Charlotte north port Charlotte cape coral and a hist of other communities literally did not exist and with thus influx of humanity comes the good the bad abd the truly ugly. I won't go on a rant here but I have seen with my own eyes the wonton destruction of ancient Indian midens replaced with littke pink houses for you and me
What is length, beam, draught, and air draught of your boat? Cheers mate
Im sorry but you have the wide open Atlantic Ocean and you choose to cruise the ICW and whine because there are boaters enjoying the water in their boats. Just don’t understand stand it. 🤦🏻♀️ Get out of the ICW if you can’t handle it.
wait what? where the heck did that fog bank come from? and was that really a guy rowing across your bow??😲😲
Thanks guys for another enjoyable video..... always look forward to the next episode. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻💙🦘🦘
Nice seeing the camera not shake with all those little boats flying by. Looks like they dont affect yall one bit👍
That was one spooky fog bank - can’t believe how fast it descended. Good choice of music to accompany it, though. 😂 And, AGAIN, where is Ollie? Only a few seconds of him in the background at the beginning. Sheesh. This is becoming like a “Where’s Waldo” game. 😂 🐾
How long do you warm up the engines in the am?
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make and post these videos! It's a dream trip I will never get to take, so I am really enjoying living vicariously through you two....
Why cant u do it someday?
@@FloridaYachtInsuranceGuy Fuel for that boat for a loop might be 20K
@@FloridaYachtInsuranceGuy lack of funds
I live in Carrabelle and have loved it from the beginning
Hey been following all the way just caught up looks like thing are going great boat working great Bahamas a home run now back in states safe boating and hope continues to be good
Now I know what boating through an apocalypse would look like. Illinois River system has the worst scenery I ever saw, expect for maybe a neighborhood on the south side of Shitcago. Can’t believe I wasted my time looking at this very boring video. It was like watching paint dry on a rusty fence.
My 6-foot draft trawler plowed through part of that canal. What's the draft on your boat? Mine had a full length stainless steel skid plate.
Good fishing at haulover canal and mosquito lagoon, good shrimping at oak Hill
Still really love following along on your adventure! Hoping to do the loop one day myself. On another note, I’m trying to find a “Like, Subscribe, Comment” animation that I like for my own channel and was curious if you’d be willing to share where you found yours?
When did y'all finish your trip?
Why do you keep saying Cocoa Beach? It is not Cocoa Beach They are 2 different towns in different places with all together personalities,
Really nice cruise between two beautiful areas including a bunch of wildlife! We traveled (by car regretfully) from Merritt Island to St. Augustine earlier this year and now get the perspective from the ICW!
Thank you so much! We were just blown away by all the wildlife! I want to go back and anchor for a week! :) Thank you for joining us!
heck l live here and I guess that is still in either Alton or East Alton. Not sure myself.
HAHA, it gets confusing! Thank you for joining us! :)
I hope you enjoyed the museum. That is in Hartford Illinois. The confluence tower I still do not understand the purpose of but I guess it is another tourist attraction.
We never got to the museum, but we absolutely loved the area, and will be back ! We will add it to the to do list :)
at night time the spans and cables light up in different colors. usually red white and blue. But they change them for different holidays. we live 2 miles from that marina.
It was gorgeous! What a fun area to call home :)
next time you are in town you are welcome to come to the house and stay. We will make you dinner and a rest on land.
Aww, Thank you so much Lauren!
We live in Alton and visit Grafton several times a year. Beautiful area.
We will be coming back down next Fall! :) Whoo hoo!!!
Do plan to winter over somewhere in the mid Atlantic states as the Erie Canal, Oswego Canal, the Trent Severn Waterway, Rideau Canal System, and other historic Canadian canals only operate from roughly May to October? After watching another couple and their pup do the loop in a 34' Marine Trader Trawler I have put it on my adventure bucket list.
Our videos are behind from traveling. We actually crossed our wake in Ludington on June 1st! We are struggling with the adjustment, and are currently planning to go back south! Thank you for joining us :) This trip will change your life in ways we didn't expect. We love it :)
Greetings from the Nauti Gal. I eagerly wait for each video! Keep up the great work!
Hello Nauti Gal!!! Thank you so much! We appreciate you :)
I always wondered why you (and most loopers) take the ICW with all the bridges and traffic and not motor out in the Atlantic. Seem it would be a lot safer and more efficient.
Hello! For us, it mostly depends on the weather, and where we are traveling. We really like traveling outside, but it is fun to see the ICW. We dodged the Miami / Fort Lauderdale areas....Too many boats for us LOL. Thank you for joining us! :)
So beautiful. I can't wait to do it. Your videos are great and the explanations are helpful.
Thank you so much Frank! All the planning and struggles are SO worth it! Thank you for joining us :)
Hello from Alabama! Enjoy your videos so much!
Thank you so much Jeanne! We loved our stay in Alabama! We met the best people :)
We have a Class A Motorhome and are headed to Perdido Key and Orange Beach to camp on the inter coastal right at the bridge! I’m sure y’all went right by there leaving after your repairs from the accident. We’ll be there 2 weeks and will get to see the Blue Angels Homecoming!
Oh I wish we could be back down there! That sounds incredible :)
Awesome video! Nature's finest with the dolphins and manatees! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! We were excited to finally get them on camera! :) Such a beautiful area! We are going back, and want to anchor out and stay a while!
@cruisingandromeda Good morning. I always wanted to ask, how do you detail and wax that big beautiful boat!?
Good morning! We had it waxed in Orange Beach before we left. I haven't done it myself yet.. She is HUGE when you are cleaning her! I may try myself this winter when she is stored. I will let you know. :)
Thanks again for letting me sit up on the bridge with you both, Halifax Harbour looks like a great marina with everything a boater needs to traverse the ICW. Another great and informative video. Take care and looking forward to the next journey. CHEERS.
Thank you so much Darryl! We are so happy you are joining us! CHEERS :)
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us all. We just got back from a two week trip boating Lake Michigan. We met a couple from your marina in Frankfort that was heading home after a 3 month trip. So fun to ask if they knew you guys and then find out they are on your dock in Ludington. It’s incredible to know what you guys have gone through on your adventure but the way you handled it and to see you overcome it is amazing. Keep the videos coming. When you dropped a new one during our trip it was what we watched that night.
Awww, Thank you SO much! I think you met the crew on Anne Marie :) We were on our boat when the came back and had a fun Labor Day weekend sharing stories!
My husband & I just found your videos a couple weeks ago & enjoy binge watching. In early stages of GL planning. Live in AZ & flying to Stuart, FL in a few weeks to stay on AirBnb houseboat & ck out boats for sale. We've learned tons from you two! Hubby has extensive boating background from living in Seattle. Thx for chronicling your travels for us. You do a GREAT job! Safe travels!
Awww, Thank you SO much Lynn! So excited for you guys! We loved our stay in Stuart. Best of luck boat shopping! All the planning and struggles are worth it! This trip was absolutely life changing :) Happy loop planning!
Thanks again for inviting me on a trip that I will never get to take! I have meant to say two things concerning this beautiful trip 1.I hope you have no hard feelings towards Alabama(I live here) concerning your little "episode: near Coffeeville and 2.I absolutely love your music choices!!!😀
Hello! We absolutely LOVED Alabama! We are definitely going back :) No hard feelings from us! Thank you for your support!
Nice to finally meet internet friends. Usually 😅 In this instance, yes. Beautiful camera work. GStay safe.
Hahaha! Thank you so much David!! :)
What a way to end a great day on the water!
Yes it was! Thank you Dr. John! :)
Love Cocoa Beach and Daytona. Been a long time since I was there. Thanks for the refresher. Great video as usual. Love your exploration!!! Be safe my friends.
Thank you so much Tom! :)
Oh sure, all of the people at Halifax Harbor got to see Ollie …but we on RUclips only got a brief glimpse. 🤔 Harumph. Really cool seeing all of the sights along the ICW, thought, going from rural to city. And what a great slip assignment at Halifax!
HAHAHA! They just loved Ollie! I need to put an Ollie cam on his collar! :) Hmmmm.......:)
@@cruisingandromeda Now that would make some great YT Shorts!
Hello. Just out of curiosity, what do you guys intend to do with Andromeda once you complete the loop? Do you intend to keep it, or do you intend to sell it? As of this video, you're passing by my old neck of the woods, Volusia County. Continued safe travels to both of you.
Hello! Thank you so much for joining us! We are keeping Andromeda! We crossed our wake in June, and we are going to winter store her this year to get some work done...but we are planning on taking her south next Fall! Whoo hoo!!! :)
