Thank you Lisa & Chris. I very much enjoyed following you on your journey. You made it through with not a lot of drama & I'm sure that you have inspired others to make this same trip. Not only did I enjoy the travel log but I really enjoyed you as people. Brave to make the trip, friendly to all that you met & willing to honestly share your experiences. Sure, you missed some things up here in Canada, but you can't possibly do it all & see everything. You saw what you saw & have had an experience of a lifetime. Thank you & God bless.
We too sold our boat right after our river trip. I still have a touch of sellers remorse 5 years afterward. Thanks again for all your efforts to do these videos. I will go back and watch the first 10 episodes again as we get ready to do a "Florida loop" next year. Best wishes going forward.
Thanks for watching - we’re glad you enjoyed the series. It is hard to let go of things that have served you well! Good luck with your Florida loop! :-)
Merry Christmas to you too - thanks for watching! Next week will be a compilation video of ALL of Chris's tips of the week, in one video! Thanks and happy new year!
Enjoyed your final summary show Kids. Lisa what a remarkable job with the video's, Chris, wear that Dooher's T shirt with pride! Has to be the best bakery in the world..........and try to smile more often....lol Great journey guys, enjoy the rest of your retirement!!
Another Great Video and full of tips and advice. Thank you Chris and Lisa. Really going to miss your series. You both have inspired me greatly. Just turned 59 and have set my retirement date for July 4th (my independence day). Just need to figure out the best way to pull my 401k money (least taxes). It might take 18 months or two years, but I will make it happen. You two have convinced me. Thanks for answering my question s!!!!! Dave From Oregon (@PCC Structurals). Cheers and fair sailing!!
Dave - that's so awesome! We are so glad we could inspire you, and that we could help answer your questions! Good luck with your plans! We are VERY glad that you have SET YOUR DATE! :-)
Your detailed stats are incredible - and what a fun way to present them! Creative and entertaining, just like all of your videos have been. I’m sure going to miss them. 😢
That is TRULY awesome! You are going to have a great time! Next week's video is a compilation of all of our Tips of the Week, so watch if you can and take what makes sense and leave the rest! :-)
Thank you Lisa and Chris for sharing your journey i really liked your format on how you did your videos. I know it is kind of selfish but one video of all Chris's tips of the week and Lisa you also have some awesome tips also all on one vid. That video would go absolutely bonkers viral I bet. Absolutely hugh congratulations I'm happy to see you two home safe and good luck and blessings on whatever ya'll do next and onward. Thank you again for sharing your awesome adventure stay safe.
Thank you both for an outstanding series. We were hoping to meet you guys at Green Turtle Bay but I was on a hunting trip when you guys went through. Hopefully you guys will make it back to Ky Lake sometime. Thanks again. Jason and Tara Ivey Benton, KY
Thank you so much for your kind words. It would have been great meeting you guys at GTB! We are DEFINITELY going to Kentucky Lake on an extended trip sometime! We absolutely loved it there and can see why it's so popular. It reminds us of our home lake! :-)
We wish you luck and hope she decides it's her dream too! Tell her it's truly the trip of a lifetime and I am SO happy we went! Thanks for watching! :-)
We wish that too - we just never were on the same timeline! You are currently traveling with our dear friends on Blue Tortuga, enjoy your time with them and enjoy your time at home for the holidays! We'll be following along as you continue your loop! :-)
@ we are having a great time. Last night turning into our last anchorage heading west. Now, 0530 with foggy conditions we will start our last leg of the trip with MV Blue Tortuga. Thank you for being a great storyteller your content creation was wonderful on your channel.
Hey Lesli! Well we are at the moment trying to catch up on rest, and finishing unpacking everything from the boat! Once we are ready, we will consider posting our next adventure! So when do you leave for your loop, next summer? Will you be doing a RUclips series? Let us know, we will follow along!!! :-)
@@coolbeansloop2024 Well; I hope you continue posting videos and showing us what life is like after the Loop. Who knows! Maybe you will do it again! and yes; I will be posting videos. My channel name is Carpe Diem with Lesli. I have a video coming up when we winterized our boat. We will be leaving from Kingston, NY. You guys went thru our area. Lots of Loopers stop by our marina (Roundout Yatch Basin) since it is the only marina with fuel in our area so we have met a few. Also; we are harbor hosts so we have helped a few Loopers with packages and things. I love our Looper family!
I don’t know if the new owners will allow it , but I’d like to follow their journey also ! I’m planning on keeping a notebook on notes about destinations that , sadly I did not do with your travels as well as a couple of others from the very 1st day.
Once the sale is complete, we will ask them to share their boat name and RUclips channel (if they make one!) and I will post it on our page! We are so happy Cool Beans will be looping again, even with another name! Next week's video is a compilation of our Tips of the Week! Stay tuned! :-)
Really appreciate all of your videos. I plan on setting sail in 8 years. This statistics video is AWESOME! Was wondering if you could give us an idea of what kind of depreciation we might see on a vessel like yours after putting that many hours on it? A percentage answer would suffice.
Easily my favorite loop series. Thanks and good luck!
Wow, we appreciate that, thanks so much for watching!

Really, really good video. Well done with great q&a! Hope this helps sway my wife into this dream of mine!!
We wish you luck and hope she decides it's her dream too! Tell her it's truly the trip of a lifetime and I am SO happy we went! Thanks for watching! :-)
Job well done. Wish we could have traveled together. It was great we meet in Frankfort MI.

How do you feel about those fuel prices? Do you think they are rising or falling next year?
We are happy with the fuel prices we paid and we have no idea about next year, but if we had to guess, we think they will fall a little!?
Would love to see the blooper reel…where are we going…
I'm going to have to do a LOT of convincing Chris to let you see the bloopers... maybe, maybe not... stay tuned!
Hey if you did a video of all the great tips you could call it ...
COOL BEAN'S GREATEAT TIP!! And antidote. Ha ha.
Haha, too funny! We are releasing the video of all tips on Wednesday! :-)
The first 9 minutes would make a pretty good "explainer" video for folks who what to know what the loop is all about......
Thanks Mike, we agree! :-)
