It is! But mostly only when we just leave a dock due to our tank situation... Pivot evens out over a few days... One of those boat projects on the list
Congratulations on getting all that work done! Onancock is one of our favorite places to visit. It doesn't get as many visitors as the more popular destinations on the west side of the Bay. I bet you slept well in that calm anchorage. When you come back on your way around the loop next season, be sure to leave plenty of time to explore the Chesapeake. There are so many interesting places to visit. The marinas start opening for services in late March and early April. It's still a little cool up here at that time, but there aren't many boats on the water and the popular places aren't crowded yet.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips Robert! That is actually our plan heading north... we will be heading north in February which hopefully puts us in the Chesapeake around your time frame. Onancock was exactly the type of town we would love to see more of... Thanks!
Glad you folks had a great day easing back into the underway routine. Also happy to see the Mantus do what the Mantus does. Ollie seems to have a pep in her step. Hope she is doing well. Be safe.
Your start with a beautiful day that lasted till evening was perfect. What more could you ask for? That was a beautiful town that you visited. Hope you have more days like this day. I'm all caught up and enjoyed every video that I watched. Keep the videos coming!
I'm so glad we found your channel. We are currently shopping for our loop boat (not an easy task!) and hope all goes well so we can start looping next spring. But for now we are living vicariously through y'all!
Sweet Laura! I've heard there is no perfect boat but I hope you find the perfect one for you! Best of luck and let us know if you have any questions about our boat and how it has fared for different aspects of the loop 👍
We are both Gator alumns and Jenn is a Yellow Jacket alumns so quite possibly the only time we might say go dawgs is when they play Alabama.... so GO Dawgs 😁
Definitely have to be very appreciative! We are very fortunate and its so easy to get caught up in the small stuff in life so we try very hard not to! Thanks for watching Larry!
We are a boating family and I absolutely love this channel.We also want to do the loop.I like the fact u guys anchored on the water instead of a marina that could get costly.

GREAT VIDS. Thought you were starting to take root in Md. We are still on the lookout for a boat, hopefully after the first of the year. Merry Christmas to you all and be safe. Smooth seas. Thanks as always. D.
Any luck getting your boat? We almost stayed put in Crisfield - it was getting very cozy for us :) Too bad the marina was shutting down for liveaboards haha
I'm the one mentioned about using a bridle.... Good to see you guys are listening & learning. Both bridles should be running out side the bow rail stations...you will bend them doing it your way😳 Not picking on things, just trying to help😊
Your videos are getting remarkably better. I even got a whiff of cinematography similar to Sailing Uma. Any idea whereabouts in FL you're headed? I grew up on the Manatee River and Tampa Bay back in the '80's and on a completely selfish note, if you do head over to the Gulf Coast, it'd be awesome to see my old stomping grounds. Especially being stuck in UT right now and in the process of making moves to head back east and do what you guys are doing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the compliment! We are big Uma fans but we know there's a long way to go 😁 We are heading down to the keys (currently held up in Vero Beach). We will be heading to the gulf coast but not till the tail end of our Loop next year - so probably November / December time frame. We actually were just in St. Pete for a day this holidays as we have some family there. Cheers!
Yep, Pivot has a slight list to port. Basically our water and sewage tanks are not completely balanced. It’s worst when we leave a dock with full water though, it evens out in a few days after we only use water from the port tanks 😁
It does a little bit, it’s because of the imbalance of water tanks and holding tanks 😬 it’s always the worst leaving a marina with full water and empty sewage, but it evens out quickly
Was it the camera angle riding Fred on your approach back to Pivot, or is Pivot listing to the port side (18:20ish mark)? Unbalanced loading can lead to disaster, especially if you hit unexpected weather while underway. Just want you two to be careful and have the safest cruising possible. I know this isn’t real time, but a concern none the less…..
Great eye Danny... Yes we have about a 4 degree list to port - we've been trying to deal with it but it seems like it would require some major changes. Fortunately it is at its worst when we have full water tanks and empty holding tanks (the case in this video) and it very quickly evens out after a day or two. Thanks for the concern!
This was 11/17! So about 1 month ago… wasn’t warm but not snowing! Ollie is doing much better, the vet (from last episode) just told us to feed her right before bed and it’s been working! Happy holidays!
When we are dockside, we can run our AC which has a heat pump as well as we have an electric heater. At anchor we wear lots of clothes and blankets and it has been fine so far 😁
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie Ahh thats rough... hopefully you are getting it all worked out! The drive to FL is definitely a lot faster than cruising 😁
We will most definitely come to Bangladesh at some point. Two of my very good friends are Bengali whom I used to work with; Maybe they will come on the vlog at some point! Thanks for watching!
Off you go! Amazing anchorage in Onancock. Water like glass. Beautiful Fall colors!
What a world class evening to end on!
Your boat is listing to port !
It is! But mostly only when we just leave a dock due to our tank situation... Pivot evens out over a few days... One of those boat projects on the list
Thanks for the tour of the town, it is nice to see the places I might wind up stopping when we do our loop.
Totally recommend Onancock - we'd love to spend a full day, seemed like there was a lot to do!
Across from Onancock is Chincatigue ( spelled wrong I’m sure) island where all the wild horses run free and live! Awesome sight to see.
Thanks for the tip - we would love to stop by sometime!
A beautiful area to throw out the hook
Great trip, good info. on the town. Thanks.
Thanks Larry!

Thanks Jeffrey!
Awesome job docking Jen.
Thanks Frank!
Your start with a beautiful day that lasted till evening was perfect. What more could you ask for? That was a beautiful town that you visited. Hope you have more days like this day.
I'm all caught up and enjoyed every video that I watched. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks T Mac! We appreciate all the comments and we most definitely will - we have some fun and exciting plans upcoming!
I spoke to a seasoned boater in Great Bridge, Va. He said you could spend an entire year, just exploring the coastal areas of the Chesapeake Bay.
I totally agree. Some loopers take a year for the Chesapeake and then haul out for the winter. It's not a bad approach!
Chocolate-covered chocolate cremes? You had me there. :-)

Beautiful video, nice job!
Thanks Patti ❤️
So much beautiful footage in this video 😍 Congrats on a successful first day back! 🥳
Thanks Y'all! ❤️
Yay!!!! Another Scho & Jo video!!! so exciting!!! Have a safe trip south. Take care you 3! ☺☺
Thanks so much Dominique 😁
Interesting comment about how long those islands will be there. I read one study that said Tangier could be underwater as early as 2063.
It's crazy to realize just how fast this is occurring...
Love the drone shots. Music👍. PIVOT looks great cruising again.
Thanks Carol!
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!
We are both Gator alumns and Jenn is a Yellow Jacket alumns so quite possibly the only time we might say go dawgs is when they play Alabama.... so GO Dawgs 😁
@@SchoandJo we’ll accept that. Safe travels.
Thanks. D
Come on, why the hate for Alabama?
I have really enjoyed your videos, please keep them coming and good wishes and luck to you both.
Thanks Richard!!
Always enjoyable to watch all of your videos. You appreciate so much about your lot in life..
Definitely have to be very appreciative! We are very fortunate and its so easy to get caught up in the small stuff in life so we try very hard not to! Thanks for watching Larry!
Another cool town to add to the list to visit some day!
Thanks Luke!
We are a boating family and I absolutely love this channel.We also want to do the loop.I like the fact u guys anchored on the water instead of a marina that could get costly.
Thanks so much Jay - that is absolutely on the forefront! Have to keep the budget in mind. Plus being out on the hook is very relaxing!
I bought my boat from some folks in Melfa VA.. not far from Onancock, her name's So Slo
Good ole Smokey Lehman
We love our lehman! "Linda" treats us well 😁
Congratulations
Thanks Harold!
Is there anything in the world as awesome as glass/mirror water at sunset.... Nope...
100% agree!

I'm the one mentioned about using a bridle....
Good to see you guys are listening & learning.
Both bridles should be running out side the bow rail stations...you will bend them doing it your way😳
Not picking on things, just trying to help😊
Thanks so much! The bridle has been an absolute game changer for us 😁
Did you make the bridle or buy it?@@SchoandJo
We bought this bridal, it is from Mantus. We highly recommend it!@@donnobles5272
Your videos are getting remarkably better. I even got a whiff of cinematography similar to Sailing Uma. Any idea whereabouts in FL you're headed? I grew up on the Manatee River and Tampa Bay back in the '80's and on a completely selfish note, if you do head over to the Gulf Coast, it'd be awesome to see my old stomping grounds. Especially being stuck in UT right now and in the process of making moves to head back east and do what you guys are doing.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the compliment! We are big Uma fans but we know there's a long way to go 😁 We are heading down to the keys (currently held up in Vero Beach). We will be heading to the gulf coast but not till the tail end of our Loop next year - so probably November / December time frame. We actually were just in St. Pete for a day this holidays as we have some family there. Cheers!
@@SchoandJo You guys are going to love the Keys if you haven't been yet. It's the closest you'll get to The Bahamas without going to The Bahamas.
You know... I tell my daughters... If you buy pants without holes in them you'll stay warmer. ;) :) (don't worry they roll their eyes at me too) 🤣😂🤣😂
Haha very true!
Bon voyage
Thanks Joel!
Leaning to the port side
Yep, Pivot has a slight list to port. Basically our water and sewage tanks are not completely balanced. It’s worst when we leave a dock with full water though, it evens out in a few days after we only use water from the port tanks 😁
Thanks for noticing and letting us know 😁
Does Pivot list to port.. maybe more weight on that side?
It does a little bit, it’s because of the imbalance of water tanks and holding tanks 😬 it’s always the worst leaving a marina with full water and empty sewage, but it evens out quickly
Was it the camera angle riding Fred on your approach back to Pivot, or is Pivot listing to the port side (18:20ish mark)?

Fortunately it is at its worst when we have full water tanks and empty holding tanks (the case in this video) and it very quickly evens out after a day or two. Thanks for the concern!
When was this in real time? I'm looking at snow outside here (Dec 20), hoping you were warmer back in Oct/Nov. What did the vet say about Ollie?
This was 11/17! So about 1 month ago… wasn’t warm but not snowing! Ollie is doing much better, the vet (from last episode) just told us to feed her right before bed and it’s been working! Happy holidays!
In 30° weather, what do you use for heat, while at anchor? Or dockside?
When we are dockside, we can run our AC which has a heat pump as well as we have an electric heater. At anchor we wear lots of clothes and blankets and it has been fine so far 😁
Does Pivot have an auto-pilot?
We have a Raytheon unit installed but the display is bad... its on the list of repairs though!
How long did that take? Heading that way in few days
Did you end up coming this way? It took us about 5 hours I think? We could have cut through a short cut but decided to play it safe, it was beautiful!
@@SchoandJo No.we had engine issues. Awful time getting mechanic. Had appt then he got sick, so we got in car to drive to FL.
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie Ahh thats rough... hopefully you are getting it all worked out! The drive to FL is definitely a lot faster than cruising 😁
It would seem that getting the new anchor and the electric motor was money well spent.
Yes x 100% !
Nice to meet you, very nice videos on your channel. I invited you visit my country in Bangladesh
We will most definitely come to Bangladesh at some point. Two of my very good friends are Bengali whom I used to work with; Maybe they will come on the vlog at some point! Thanks for watching!
Gambling ship they go out 12 miles no l ic. Require from state
Oooh interesting!
