Hello, from Appleton, WI. Just finished watching all your videos. Must say have enjoyed them all. You guys sure have had your ups and downs. But that’s boating. :) Hoping to take this journey our self one day in a few years. Keep your health up and we will be looking forward to the next video. Stay safe!
Thank you so much Jeremy! The ups and downs were SO worth it in the end. We had our days where we started to question it all, but the trip was life changing :) Thank you for joining us!
Oh my goodness. Please be careful and travel safe. Happy to hear you are feeling better. So many great tips in the video. Thanks for letting us travel along your adventure. When I retire in 1.5 years my wife and I are thinking about the great loop as well. Take care. Safe crossing to the Bahamas.
Thank you so much Mark! Bob is feeling great thank goodness!. The loop was incredible. So many amazing people we met along this trip! :) Thank you for joining us!
Thanks for the great memory flashback. We were in the slip next to you in Jan of '23 when we did our Loop. Best Shrimp Po-Boy on the trip was at that tiki hut restaurant. Enjoying your videos. Continued safe travels.
It is nice to see that you both are enjoying Key Largo and not rushing out in the Atlantic to cross to the Bahamas. Your planning is very well thought out and I hope you have a fantastic time after waiting so long to get there. Safe journey and looking forward to more videos.
Just found you two. Wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the clips. Live here in Chattanooga, TN with a Sea Ray 40 MY on the Tennessee River. Oddly enough I grew up in Hart/Pentwater area and still visit every summer in August.
I'm a big Bogey fan, love all his movies. I always wondered whether the hotel in the movies Key Largo still exists toady. I always thought they destroyed the African Queen at the end of the movie.
Salted Gatorade is your best friend, I’m a triathlete that races in this mess. When your sodium levels sweat out, water doesn’t help, you have to replenish electrolytes and sodium.
Y'all please be careful in the miserable southern heat and humidity. Even those of us who grew up in this southern sauna have a difficult time coping as we've gotten older. Heat screens on (parked) aircraft and (docked) boats are always a good idea. Loved the Africa Queen gliding by... Boat people are some of the best! Another word of caution...never, never, never look up when a flock of pelicans fly over your head.
We got this Brent! :) We aren't fully retired, so this is our loop at this moment. The best part, is we learned so much that we will be back and now know where we want to explore, and will have more time. Thank you for joining us!
Love the idea of using the reflective blankets! Cheap solution!
Thank you! I was skeptical that it would stay in place as we moved....but it truly did! It worked great :)
Manny is a good judge of character. The end of the video we sure can see your boat is loaded. safe travels!!
Manny was incredible!!! Thank you Timothy for joining us and being so kind :)
How awesome to see the African Queen! What a great movie. Thanks for including it in the video. Your channel is second to none!
Thank you so much Dean! What an incredible compliment! Thank you for joining us :)

Some good glimpses of Ollie in this episode - he probably was enjoying just relaxing in the shade in the heat and humidity! Ugh. 🥰 🐾
Yes! Ollie loved the pelicans especially lol. He barked EVERYTIME they came by :)

Glad you are doing better. Dehydration is nothing to mess with in the south. You need more than just water to stay hydrated. Be safe cruising, Frank
Thank you Frank! We definitely learned the hard way! But lesson learned, and we won't make that mistake again! Thank you for joining us :)
Safe travels across. Hope you have a great time in the Bahamas.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support! :)

That is so cool! Key Largo was such a fun place. We loved the tiki hut! Thank you so much for watching :)

Thank you so much Darryl! We appreciate you :)
The African Queen? Wow!😊
Aric, it was so cool! :)
Key Largo looks like a fun place to be. Kathy needed a day off after loading the heavy water jugs!
Thank you! We met some incredible people there. We frequented the tiki huts quite regularly to stay hydrated! :)
Stay safe!!!
Thank you Tom!! We appreciate you :)
Nice to see your ok, no point in pushing till you break ..... take care and stay safe. ✨️✨️✨️✨️🍻🍻🍻🍻💙🦘🦘🦘
Thank you so much! The heat was no joke. We learned QUICK! :)

Thank you so much Todd! Small world for sure! :) Maybe we will see you this summer! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching :)

I am not sure about the hotel, but the African Queen looks like it went out multiple times a day! It was so neat to see. :)

Thank you for that tip! We learned the hard way I guess. Now the boat is STOCKED! :)
We used to go to Marina Del Mar for 30 yrs until they got nutz on their dockage rates. We've stayed in that slip!

Thank you Dr. John! We definitely learned QUICK! The window shade made such a big difference on the boat! Noted on the pelicans lol :)
@@cruisingandromeda Us folks in ths south have to move reaaaaalllly slow in the Summer heat. Now you know 😉
HAHAHA, now we know for sure :)
I'm concerned you do not understand what a relaxing Great Loop Vacation is.

Not to be crude, but if you don't have to pee then you need to drink some more. Humidity is a killer in the south
You are so right!!!!! We learned that QUICK! Thank you John :)
