Thanks for the video, very informative. Out of interest what was the cost of the Mantus Anchor (or what size it is and I’ll do the maths). No need to apologise for length of videos, love them all.

Fun to watch boomer privilege boom

3 days of binge watching ... Congrats and good job Mike!!! And yes, Canadas marina fuel is about double of what we pay on the roads. Further, diesel has been unusually high in Ontario, Canada. Gas is close to $7.50 USD/gallon at the marinas, and about $3.75 USD/gallon on the highway. Be sure to fill up before leaving NY!!!

Great cost breakdown Your fuel cost was surprisingly low. Our trailerable outboard averaged 2 mpg 6000 miles (3 side trips) @ $5 = $15K Typical cruise speed 25+ mph.

Hi..Have enjoyed your videos. Informative and intriguing. Which anchor and what size did you add? Hope you have an enjoyable New Year's.

This is wild , your close to a year on a boat is about the same for rent/mortgage

Ditto on the drinking. Don't care for it and may have 1 beer in a year, and don't finish that.

I'm surprised, shocked, and impressed. I thought your fuel bill would be double that. I can't believe your average speed was that high. Your grocery bill was what I spend in 3 months. Your restaurant bill was what I'd spend in 6. You actually did much better than I would have guessed. I can definitely see the ratio of marinas vs free walls and Anchorage. You're alone and who can stand that for a year. I like alone, but I still go out and around a lot and burn gas going places. I would probably spend a lot of time at marinas, and even hit a few Airbnb's just to get off the boat.

Thanks for the update. Would you do it all again? What if anything would you do differently?

Hey Capt, all these loopers seem to do trawler speed for the most part, I thought diesel turbos need to be exercised, what say you?

Thank you for sharing your journey!!!

Those speedboats are awesome, give me 6 knots on a trawler any day 😎

I used to be in those poker runs! They were a blast!

Very much enjoying your journey, I'm inspired!

Love your videos.

!!!! Congratulations!!!! I to can’t believe it’s been 8 months! Greatly looking forward to the next couple of videos. I have a video I’d LOVE to see you make, or a series of videos about your travel routine. Please city by city and the highlights as you remember and the learning process as you travel. We would love to follow your route with your Loop journey coming up!!! Hope you find your passion and a boat to get you there.

Bravo!!! Well done

Captain, our captain-thank you for managing to take all of us along to share your adventures.

I just subscribed cuz You are an awesome Captain! I'm learning from You.

I have been watching the videos of boat launch and it is amazing how many boaters have not a single dock line or bumpers. they need to watch some videos like yours and learn something about boating/sailing!

I'm only 20 minutes in and can see that You are an excellent Captain.

Will you do it again?

Those Asian Carp absolutely destroyed the Golden Perch population in the Great Lakes, and with it the Friday Night Fish Fry that was so common in a lot of Great Lakes hugging States. Meridian and Carver, both really nice boats for doing the loop in style.

Michael, not that you NEED to, but that you actually may WANT to.... how would I go about contacting you... discussing your next Adventures

Michael, I have thoroughly enjoyed traveling along with you on your loop journey. I hope one day I’ll be able to follow in your footsteps. Enjoy your next chapter spear fishing & cooking. I hope to cross paths with you here in FL or in the Bahamas one day. Take care - Lesley

I've been lurking & watching & learning & I Thank You for sharing your adventures. I doubt I can ever make my dreams come true like you, but I lurk & I learn... thank you Michael.

Nice video, do you know how long the lock process generally takes? Specifically looking for this info on the Saint Lucie lock, thank you.

Congratulations! I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos and traveling along with you. What an amazing accomplishment!!

Thanks for sharing your trip! Congratulations!!!

This was so hard to watch. I,like many others here felt that pain my friend. You are the G.O.A.T sir!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!

Congratulations!!! Your great energy and adventures spirit have moved and inspired me. What a great life achievement.

Congratulations Michael!! 👏👏👏 So happy for you completing the loop. Someone mentioned you in a Facebook post 2 months ago, and I’ve been following you ever since. You did a phenomenal job with your videos and you have inspired me to consider doing the loop. Definitely adding it to my bucket list. I look forward to your future endeavors.❤

Congratulations, I’ve enjoyed your trip, fantastic achievement.

What are the transmissions?

Michael, congratulations on successfully crossing your wake. But like you said, what is next for you is likewise for me since I so looked forward to your weekly videos. They supplied both great tutoring and flare of reality with a sense of humor. Enjoy your next chapter, and I look forward to seeing and learning from your experiences. Happy New Year!

Congratulations on your great accomplishment! You not only completed the loop but you have become a talented and competent boat handler. The improvement in your skills is obvious. I can't wait for future videos. Good luck, Thanks for allowing me to tag along.

I felt like “our” loop trip had ended. I look forward to these episodes every week as you did an excellent job of making us (your audience) feel like we were on this journey with you. I found myself rooting for you as handled the lines in the locks and backed into tight slips against wind and current. I can’t wait to see the next adventures. You should really look at doing some additional social media platforms to keep us hooked all week like Instagram. Your videos have really made me want to retire earlier and get out there on the water. - Casey

It is flat!

Captain Michael congratulations on our trip. I will be doing it in two years

Congrats Mike!!! I really disliked how people criticized you in your first videos. No better way to shut up the haters. you got it done gracefully!

Hope you tip the dock hand.

Wow amazing nicely done. any reason you did not come up the Banana River..was Mathers not operational? Love Marker...after the clean up and new owners took over... congrats Captain!

Can’t believe that’s it done already. It only seems a month or so again you were battling with the draw bridge to get out. Great to see you have completed your adventure, well done, and thanks for the videos.

Congrats on completing the Loop. I was looking to say hello in person when you were in our home waters of Georgian Bay this past summer but you blew through so fast that our paths never crossed! You've done a fantastic job documenting your trip and was great to watch. All the best in your next adventure.

Thank you for sharing this amazing experience! As a feature looper I really enjoyed your solo adventure.

Just as you said Michael, you were not alone. I, as well as many others, were stowaways on your Great Loop adventure. I(or rather, WE) could not have chosen a better tour guide for this journey. Congratulations, and thank you for allowing us to come along with you, and we are anxiously waiting for your next "chapter"!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Congratulations! You talked about this when I was buying the Fish Pro from you, which by the way is still running like a champ! May you have many more great adventures!

Seems like y'all only got started. Y'all gotta share another adventure
