Thanks for sharing. Please know, We all appreciate the time you put into getting these videos together. Such a nice interlude and great escape on a cold rainy upstate NY Winter evening. 0x0x0x
Love the videos ed and Lynn. you guys inspired me to buy a yacht and work on refitting it and start to travel a bit. I became interested because of your videos. I live here in Fort Lauderdale and I’m learning all about how to refit this boat. Wish I was handy like you. Hopefully one day ill be able to say hi in person. Be safe and enjoy life.
The pillows at the end are very cute! Looked like another nice cruising segment despite some rain which is a great salt wash-off if we can look at the bright side when it happens. And TWO Roger-Out's in one episode -- fantastic! Love and Peace!
Hey Ed and Lynn, nice video, look forward hearing about the Italian restaurant and seeing what you show about Southport. Wendy and I are moving our Carver 466MY to the Southport Marina from the Harborview Marina Baltimore MD at the end of March so we can be closer her.
We did not get out to explore Southport very much on this visit. Just an overnighter. The last time we were there we walked the town and hit the restaurants. That video was posted about two years ago.
Hi there! First thank you for allowing us to ride along. It has been a great ride. Great video and great editing. Next. We are the ones interrupted your dinner at Rusty Hooks at Safe Harbor South Harbor Village at Southport. It was great meeting you. Hope to see you on your next trip south. Hopefully we can spend a little more time talking about crazy things. Safe journey 🏴☠️🏴☠️
Btw Charleston/Mt pleasant and more has tons of great restaurants!!! I live here! Sorry that happened to y'all, hopefully your next stop in that'll be 180°....
In this video you guys pass my families horse farm in little river sc. You have a short clip of one of our rides with customers. My son and I follow your channel and it’s cool to see the horses in the video as y’all passed thru!!
I worked a Black Sea Bass Fish trap boat out of Carolina Beach in the 70’s to Frying Pan Shoals. ICW is always changing. I prefer running on the outside when ever possible. Faster, safer
Love your video! We live in Myrtle and have a small 20' outboard. We love venturing out on the ICW. We are planning a trip to St. James Marina, just a bit before you stop in this video. Have you ever been there?
Nice relaxing video, as always. Also enjoyed the music. Just curious, if you had your preference, would you go outside to the Ocean or do you prefer going through an inlet? I know it depends on the depth of the water, but if you could pick one over the other which one would you pick? Thanks for sharing and taking us along on your journey…Ed
We like being inside to explore, but after doing an area a couple times we would prefer to be outside, since it is much more relaxing. Since we have done the Atlantic ICW several times already, we try to go outside as much as possible, whenever the weather permits. When inside, I need to be at the wheel the entire time. Outside, I get to walk around, take a nap with Lyn on watch, etc.
Georgetown is a greay little city. I believe that in pre-Civil war days it was the rice-exporting capital of the US. Their historic courthouse is just one block from the marina and many times I would attend a hearing at court and then walk over to the waterfront for lunch. You would not guess it but there is a lot of old money in that area.
Just an observation, but is there an overly large amount of play in the steering gear form the upper station? Seems like a lot of steering input to maintain your heading.
Hi, I have a question, when you cast off and start to leave the docks, the boat rocks back and forth, having driven many boats in my life , large and small I have never noticed this, and for the life of me don't undestnd why this is happening. Maybe this is something the camera is picking up and you don't really notice it. Gotta love the views. LOL
Another great video, thanks for sharing you two..... question for you. Are you still using the Rich solar panels with the Power drive inverter? If so.....do you still like the set up?
Yes, we are using the Rich panels and the Victron controller, and we are very happy with it. Just wish we had a little more room for some additional panels.
Great video once again! I wanted to ask if u guys use Navionics as a back up, or possibly as sole, and most accurate nav system? What do u have as nav system on the boat now, and do u like it or would u switch to something else in the future? Appreciate everything! Did someone say Peach Daiquiri’s?
We use Navionics as our primary navigation tool. We have it on a couple of tablets. Our boat also has two Furuno chart plotters which we mainly use for radar. The Furunos are good but it is an older technology (no touch screen). We are very happy with Navionics. I did make some peach martinis!
Just curious, it seems you proceeding in a rather slack tide, yet it seems you are having to do quite a bit of oversteer. Is your ship being moved around so much that requires you to do so? On The Hard Ed
I have a question about your Tender. From previous videos, your tender is a hassle to load/unload. My question is: is the fuel cost that much greater when you tow it behind the Triton?
I do not notice any difference in fuel cost. The reason we do not tow it all the time is because of waves, or because we are going into a marina. Once we get into the Exumas, it is being towed almost all the time.
We usually get about 300-400 gallons at a time and it takes about 20 minutes. Some marinas have high speed pumps and it only takes about 10-15 minutes.
Do you typically have to call ahead and reserve a transient slip at a marina, or is it something that can be done at the spur of a moment on the radio?
Most times we call in the morning and ask for a slip for that day. Sometimes we call the day before. The only time we call earlier than that is on holiday weekends. We try not to call too far in advance because things change, weather can slow us down, etc.

Our pleasure! It is nice to get good feedback. I hate editing but love having edited. 😁

Congratulations. Don't worry, you'll learn to be handy after owning a boat for a while. It is either that or rob banks! Hope to see you on the water!
Hjjjjh@@tryingnottosink9107

And TWO Roger-Out's in one episode -- fantastic!
Love and Peace!
The pillows were Lyn's idea. If only it would rain for ten minutes every time we got to port!

It was great meeting you guys as well. We'll probably be in Southport again in mid May.

We love the Charleston area. We always have fun there, especially in the French Quarter!

Southport, NC now you are getting into my old stomping grounds. I grew up north of there in Wrightsville Beach, NC. Southport is a beautiful area.
Check out this weeks video! It is Wrightsville and Beaufort.
In this video you guys pass my families horse farm in little river sc. You have a short clip of one of our rides with customers. My son and I follow your channel and it’s cool to see the horses in the video as y’all passed thru!!

It is a lot easier running outside. Auto pilot all the way!

Yachting make me fun!

Awsome, thnx for sharing 😀
You're welcome!

Georgetown is a greay little city. I believe that in pre-Civil war days it was the rice-exporting capital of the US. Their historic courthouse is just one block from the marina and many times I would attend a hearing at court and then walk over to the waterfront for lunch. You would not guess it but there is a lot of old money in that area.
We almost always stop there when we are passing through. We have met a lot of fun people there.
Just an observation, but is there an overly large amount of play in the steering gear form the upper station? Seems like a lot of steering input to maintain your heading.
There is no play, but the gear ration seems to be off. A full turn is only 5 degrees on the rudder. At the lower helm a full turn is 10 degrees.
Hi, I have a question, when you cast off and start to leave the docks, the boat rocks back and forth, having driven many boats in my life , large and small I have never noticed this, and for the life of me don't undestnd why this is happening. Maybe this is something the camera is picking up and you don't really notice it. Gotta love the views. LOL
It's just the camera, and the fact that I am often editing it to be 4x regular speed. The boat doesn't really rock much.
Welcome to Grand Dunes marina,live on other side of inter coastal
It is a very nice marina!
Another great video, thanks for sharing you two..... question for you. Are you still using the Rich solar panels with the Power drive inverter? If so.....do you still like the set up?
Yes, we are using the Rich panels and the Victron controller, and we are very happy with it. Just wish we had a little more room for some additional panels.

Go eat at Fishy Fishy Cafe in Southport. Best seafood
Great video. Who sings the song at 10:20? Perfect for this relaxing trip.
I really don't remember. I should have put it in the description. We subscribe to a music service for our songs.
must be nice to enjoy such luxury's
It is. It took us many years of hard work and luck to get to here.
If you all had the opportunity to buy a property along the last leg of the intercoastal where would you look though. (Minus the 60 foot dock)
I don't know. But I do know I could not afford anything on the water in the last leg (Jupiter through Miami).
Lol. Nice ending. Roger out…
Thanks!
On your Hatteras, check weather carefully
We do.
Just curious, it seems you proceeding in a rather slack tide, yet it seems you are having to do quite a bit of oversteer. Is your ship being moved around so much that requires you to do so?
On The Hard Ed
I believe the gear ratio is wrong on my upper helm wheel. I full rotation is 5 degrees on the rudder, but on the lower helm it is 10 degrees.
I have a question about your Tender. From previous videos, your tender is a hassle to load/unload. My question is: is the fuel cost that much greater when you tow it behind the Triton?
I do not notice any difference in fuel cost. The reason we do not tow it all the time is because of waves, or because we are going into a marina. Once we get into the Exumas, it is being towed almost all the time.
I understand, Thank you for the response!
OK. I give up. How'd you do the animation of the boat going in the Georgetown inlet?
We use a program called Route Generator. I have been using it a couple years and I just discovered I can add a picture of our boat to the map.
@@tryingnottosink9107 THANKEE!
how many times have you looped ? I watch your videos on repairs and motoring the waterways.
We have never looped.
Great video! Please, tell me the maker of your white shirt, I love it!
Not sure, I think it's called Cottonseed. Depends on which shirt you are asking about.
Nice video, the only thing that music you use is tough to take after a few minutes.
Some people love the music (see above) others not so much. I just go with what I enjoy.
Cheers
Cheers!
Try some slip on boat shoes, that what I have.😀😀
I had a pare before. Hard to find in a style and color I like, at least lately.
Like the outro. :)
I like throwing things at Lyn!
what was your fuel cost
What size is your tender ? If I saw it correctly its appears to 15/17' boston whaler?
It's a 13 foot Boston Whaler with a 40HP Yamaha.
great channel, but, hey mate - she needs a clean (on the outside)... :)
How long does it take to normally top off with 200 gals of fuel?
We usually get about 300-400 gallons at a time and it takes about 20 minutes. Some marinas have high speed pumps and it only takes about 10-15 minutes.
What type of boat are you using?
Hatteras 58 Motor Yacht.
Who sings your intro song?
Jesse Villa.
Do you typically have to call ahead and reserve a transient slip at a marina, or is it something that can be done at the spur of a moment on the radio?
Most times we call in the morning and ask for a slip for that day. Sometimes we call the day before. The only time we call earlier than that is on holiday weekends. We try not to call too far in advance because things change, weather can slow us down, etc.
YOUR NEXT FUEL BILL IS GOING TO HURT A BIT MORE, OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😒🤥😌😔😪😭😭😭😓😓😡
I am mentally preparing!
