3:38 Interesting. My guess is it's ocean water from rough seas. But that would be cool if it was a rain-filled lake. Or maybe it's a bit of both. Was it salty?
I visited this island in May of 2010. I was in Reedville Virginia for 5 days before I could catch a ferry over to this island. Because, until the season picks up, the ferry does not travel to the island until it sells 25 tickets, at that time were $25 each. This was the most interesting vacation I had ever been on, even though you only get to stay on the island if you take the ferry over for only 3 hours, unless you stayed in one of their three bed and breakfasts. it was well worth going. It is very sad although there's still a lot left of this island, it is eroding away.
@@RiggingDoctor I loved it, I live six hours from there, so I didn't get to grow up around the ocean. I never saw the ocean until I was 26 years old, and that was Gulfport, Mississippi. but through the years after that I went to the beach and on and off I absolutely hated Virginia Beach, but I loved Myrtle Beach. So when I got to go to Reidsville , I was impressed more than anything I had ever seen or done. I also got to see the Smith lighthouse which was a very unique and surprising extra. My ex husband's family lives there, so we went there on our honeymoon but it took us a week to go over to the island. I only got to stay for three hours but I was quite impressed..
My Wife and I are probably gonna stop here, Where gonna do a little powerboat Tour from Deltaville north, or something of the sort, do they have slip with power and a shower. Looked beautiful!
My aunt lives in Tangier and im from there sadly my family cant stay there but i vist it every summer sadly i cant vist there right now sense we dont have enough money to
Neat little island. I bet you guys will miss Mr. Mortimer when you are on passage...we will too. It seems your vids are progressively improving. I appreciate your effort with the music, that was nice. I have a couple of constructive comments if I may? Try getting a Dead Cat for your microphone. The Dead Cat windshield is designed for minimizing any wind noise when recording in high wind conditions. Second, you need to work on image stabilization. A hand held 3-axis brushless gimbal stabilizer would do wonders for your videos. I know they are expensive but it will help your channel grow! Thanks for your hard work.
+Tim K those are really good suggestions. We definitely want that equipment, but we are still working on saving up for it. As the channel grows and we make more money/gain more patrons, we'll be able to improve those things. Thanks for sticking with us as we work to improve :)
I wish you would have checked out Parks Marina :) I reccomend it highly. about $30 per night and Mr Parks is a Tangier Waterman to his core. If y'all stop in Little Creek, we'd love to share a sun-downer with you two!
+Graeme Henderson I made the music on garage band so I guess it's kind of cheating, but I did do all the fake strumming myself! And yessss I took some really awesome pictures that I want to turn into paintings ASAP
I keep hearing about the island/s sinking but never hear about the displacement of sediment. Dredging is constantly being done but never talked about as sediment displacement being a source of rising water levels. Just makes sense that if dredging is being done that sediment is filling in our bodies of water. On the river we have lived on for 40 years the depths have gotten shallower and the level of the river has gotten higher up on the beach by just about the same level as the depths have gotten shallower.
apparently not very (close)! Maybe you need an ear bud plugged in so you (the cameraperson) can hear audio quality and stop rotating the mic (camera) where audio has the least resistance. Or your partner could have the ear bud and give the narrator hand signals, so you do not deal with doppler... Is there NO cell phone service on the island? it is actually more remote than perhaps half of the Everglades National Park which has cell service around it's fringes. From time lapsed (by decades) photos my late father showed me of a light house near where he grew up on the Chesapeake Bay (and other data) it may be tectonic plate activity and a subscession zone at play there - hard to argue with geologic progression - a pretty unremitting foe!
Not having a motor for your dinghy is ridiculous! It limits your potential enjoyment and access. It’s not safe with just paddles in some conditions. It’s also a pain in the ass especially with a relatively deep drafted boat. Before you hit the Bahamas it’s MANDATORY! Don’t mean to be critical but it’s for your own safety and enjoyment! Great series guys!
+Lotophagi we carry them in the dinghy and we are both good swimmers. Also, the water gets shallow fast, if we hopped out of the dinghy, we could have just walked the dinghy in without getting our shirts wet!

It’s the Chesapeake Bay, so it’s brackish water. In the summer it’s almost as salty as the ocean and in the winter it’s almost fresh.

How did you like Reedville? The island was really neat, and gets really quiet once the ferry boat leaves.

Great video! My great-grandmother was from Tangier Island.I have always wanted to visit.I hope to soon. Thankyou for sharing!!!!
We enjoyed our time there learning about its rich history! Glad you liked the video :)
My aunt lives in tangier and im from there is a great place your free to explore the whole island
I must say the best crab cake I ever had was here
Really? Not in Baltimore??
My Wife and I are probably gonna stop here, Where gonna do a little powerboat Tour from Deltaville north, or something of the sort, do they have slip with power and a shower. Looked beautiful!
Yes, there is a small marina on the island and you will have no problem getting in there with a power boat.
Enjoy the island!
I loved the voice over history lesson of the island! :)
Thank you!!
Nice video.
I liked it. Great couple...nice tour guides.
Wow somber folks!! So that is where the Herbster popped the question eh???
+Allyn Onderdonk yup! Or a few miles off of it at least :). It was very romantic

I will stop in there soon hopefully.
Heh Are you guys going south and then east to Bermuda? I am waiting to hear from you.
+Thomas Perdue yes, we are going south for the winter and then to Bermuda when it's warmer and less stormy.
Maddie? Did you do the guitar music for this video? Its really nice. Maddie do you think you might paint some memories of Tangier?
+Graeme Henderson I made the music on garage band so I guess it's kind of cheating, but I did do all the fake strumming myself! And yessss I took some really awesome pictures that I want to turn into paintings ASAP
Nice one, looking forward to seeing the pictures

Never really thought about where the sinking island sediment was going!
There are some west coast towns that are similar, but newer, in the SF Bay Area. Not quite so isolated and unique.

Thank you for your concern! We have one for the Bahamas :). It's just not mounted yet
Yeah super unsafe in the bay the Chesapeake can turn on you quickly be careful
Two words: life jackets :-(
+Lotophagi we carry them in the dinghy and we are both good swimmers. Also, the water gets shallow fast, if we hopped out of the dinghy, we could have just walked the dinghy in without getting our shirts wet!
life jackets are pointless unless they are worn...
I’m unsubscribing because your audio is trashed by all the wind noise.
Wow that's harsh
Who gives a shit pal
