- Welcome to What Yacht To Do, a Great Loop Documentary. Today, Rev and Sam went from the Mentor Harbor Yachting Club in Mentor, Ohio on T Erie and landed at Son Rise Marina in Sandusky, Ohio. We planned to be here for a month and then, put the Here's To Us into Winter Storage. Shockingly, we ended up selling the boat we had for 5 years and completed the Great Loop twice. Happy/Sad day.
We are cruising around America's Great Loop and selected a 1999 Carver 504 named the Here's To Us!! as our Great Loop boat. So much goes into Great Loop planning and we share every trip with you. Welcome aboard!
Here are a few resources that we used for the trip: www.whatyachttodo.com/resources/

Wow, that was fast! When you know it's time, you know. Thanks for all the adventures, lessons, and introduction to new places. Good boats need to keep boating and best wishes to the new owners. Enjoy your time with family at home and take care. I am sure we will see you on the water somewhere! May you always have fair winds and following seas.👍😊🎉
Aww I will definitely miss the here`s to us! Stay safe Rev and Sam! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
We miss her too, but she went to a wonderful family ready to provide more precious memories! ☺️❤️
We are going to rewatch All your videos again! Going to miss our favorite loopers!!... 🎉 "Here's to YOU" 🎉
Thanks so much! We ❤️ all those that followed is thee last five years!
Thanks for taking us along on you adventure. We will miss you. 😢😢
😎 Thanks!
Well I'm in shock, obviously didn't see this coming. Have been watching you guys from the start, you will be mist. I remember walking away from our boat that we had for 17 years, the one 4 kids grew up on, and lots of great memories. I'm sure you guys feel much the same. Thank you for all the great adventures always calm cool and collective you two were an example for many, good luck.
Thank you so much for the very kind words! ❤️😎
Thank you Rev and Sam for the ride along experience. It’s been fun tagging along with you both! May your journey not end with the sale of your “Yacht to do”. Will your next adventure be based out of your home port? Be safe in your travels and into your new adventures!
Thanks so much for your kind words and for coming along with us 😎❤️
Wonderful job you two!! Your loops have been so great for us to see and enjoy through your videos. So true - one door closes, another opens! 😇😍🥰
Love you! ❤️
Rev & Sam - Thank you for all the great videos of your Great Loop adventures. I'm in shock you were docked litteraly within walking distance of my house and you sold your boat at the very marina I grew up at on my parent's boat for many summers. [Unfortunately my parents had to sell their boat when my dad's health deteriorated before he passed.] Also another RUclips creator couple who I follow purcrchased their current boat from a broker at the very same marina where you sold yours.
I know watching your videos you have inspired me to do the Great Loop some day (and a friend I know too has been inspired by your videos).
Cheers to you and wherever your new adventures on your next chapters take you!
Thanks for following us over the years. Yes, I think Boogaboo bought his current boat there. I should be up there in a few weeks to do some training on a boat.

Always enjoyed your videos. Thanks for all the hard work making them and your advice.
You are quite welcome! Thanks so much for following our adventure! ❤️
Still catching up on the video catalogue. Really enjoyed all I have seen so far. Congratulations on a quick sale and moving on to the next endeavor.
Thank you so much 😉
A little more than three years ago, as we were searching for our first boat, we happened across this nice couple on RUclips who were documenting their journey around something called America's Great Loop on the "Here's to Us." They were funny, charming, inspiring, and, best of all, real. After catching up on their videos, we would wait impatiently for Sam and Rev's new videos to be released on Saturday mornings. Moreover, this Great Loop thing was new to use but looked and sounded very intriguing. We knew then that the Great Loop had to be in our future.
Fast forward to now, we are on our second boat, which we plan to be our loop boat. And who would have thunk that I would actually have the pleasure of speaking with Sam when he helped me find an insurance broker for our new boat. We have watched every video at least twice, we have purchased all of the Great Loop Academy courses, and we feel much more ready to take on this adventure because of you two. We're still a couple of years away but we're using this time to prepare ourselves and our boat for the journey.
Thank you for sharing all of your journeys, including all the ups, downs and sideways, and all of the lessons. Following along has been a blast! Best wishes from Frank and Sue on Tutto Bene.
Oh, so great to hear from you and thank you for the very kind words. The best part of our adventure was meeting such nice people in person and virtually 😎. We will be there to cheer you on when you start your adventure! Sam and Rev!
Say it's not so! Really enjoyed both of your loops. I always looked forward to your next video. Going to miss you guys.
We loved every trip and cherished those times as well as sharing with great folks like you 😎❤️
Even though we already knew, in real time, "Here's to Us" was gone we are still saddened to see her go. It has always been a pleasure following you two youngsters these many years. Very impressive stats and very much an inspiration to many people, including myself. I hate this could be the last time I call you Capt. Dock Dodger and Lock Lady on a loop video. 🙂 We wish you guys the best. Reach out the next time your in the N. Myrtle Beach area.
Thanks for following us over the years. You have been so loyal and we hope to meet you in person someday.

A new adventure begins. So glad to have met you in Buffalo. Many of us have lived vicariously through your adventures. Thank you.
Oh, so great to hear from you! Yes that was a long time ago in Buffalo, so it seems! Thanks again for following us and your kind words! We are going to continue to put out content to help others with the Great Loop! Sam and Rev
You two are awesome. Thanks for all of the adventures and continuing to help people on the Great Loop.
You are quite welcome 😎. It was a fun adventure and we now look forward to sharing in another way ❤️
Thanks again for all of your videos and education. I have lived my dream through your videos, and am grateful for your lessons and tour. I wish you fair winds and calm seas on your future adventures.
You are quite welcome John! It was always great hearing from you 😎
Thank you for sharing your Great Loop adventures with us. It was fun seeing the marinas and anchorages you visited and comparing them to our Great Loop experience. It was an honor to have met the two of you at Geneva on the Lake (Lake Erie) several years ago. Congratulations on your next adventure. John & Pam off of M/V Jo-Ela (Cleveland, Ohio).
Oh yes we remember coming on to your beautiful boat! It was a pleasure meeting to both of you! ❤️
Good Luck to you! We kept our boat at Bay Point @ Sandusky for years!
Thank you so much! 😎
We’ve used liquid soap with some success on the rails and rubber to stop squeaks.
Awesome 👍
MHYC brings back memories. Been there many times growing up.
That's Awesome. Glad we could rekindle your memories! Sam & Rev
Thanks so much for sharing like you do! Your video's have been very helpful to us. We're only 7 months into our 1st loop and are at the point of such a comfort level with the boathome. I can't imagine anything else yet. That has to be such a bittersweet moment, letting your boat go. We will keep catching up with your videos 👍 🛥
Thanks Mark and Mel! Be safe and have fun! ❤️ Sam and Rev 😎
End of an era !!!!
We'll be back posting more fun!
@@WhatYachtToDo Boaters never lose their love of being on the water and the journey. Next you'll be shopping for a bigger boat (70'-80') that you can use to traverse the Panama canal, up the Pacific coast of MX, the amazing Sea of Cortez, and then up the CA coast to the Pacific Northwest & SE Alaska. Bon Voyage !
Love the Myrtle Beach area. Back when I was building time for my Commercial Pilot Certificate, me a few buddies would rent a Cessna 172 RG and fly down on Friday afternoon and back on Sunday evening. We had a blast doing that! When you passed the Huron River you should have blown the horn and I would have waved lol. Hoping you are still boating.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride and best of luck with the Academy! Also wanted to point out there's another Lady Liberty at the north end of Yacht Club island in my home town of New Smyrna Beach, FL. MM 847.
You are quite welcome. It was great having you onboard with us! 😉
Thank you both for so many great videos. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
I have mixed emotions about “the end”. I was really looking forward to your Great Lakes series this time 😊.
Anyway…. All the best to you both!
You are quite welcome. ☺️
Congratulations 🎊 as the next adventure begins! Rather rapid, but often that is how the next right course happens.
I can't thank you both enough for the privilege of the shared TWO Great Loop Journey. I wish you both the best. Started in Texas, where is the new Home Base those six boxes 📦 ended up? Like a gd PCS continued lifestyle. Glad your nautical focus remains.
Taking advantage of connections left too. Again, Wishing you both the best while personally thankful I got to come again.
Take care, di
Yes, it's been quite the journey 😉, we are now in Canada visiting but heading back to the Midwest soon, just north of Wichita Falls! A lot of possibilities coming up for us! Sam and Rev 😎
Learned a lot from you folks. Best wishes on the next chapter!
Thanks so much!
Bittersweet obviously. You guys are quite an inspiration, and while it's unlikely my wife and I will ever get to do the loop, I've lived a bit vicariously through you guys. As someone who also has a channel, I want to acknowledge the significant sacrifice you both made to bring us along on your adventures. All the setting up of cameras, filming, editing, rendering, uploading, and posting to RUclips from my perspective was well worth it for subscribers like me. Thanks for all of it. And thanks for now turning your attention to helping others. Cheers!
Oh thank you so much! It was quite the journey, and Rev was steadfast and committed to chronicling each and every trip! We are so thankful for all the friends we met along the way both in person and virtually like yourself! 😄❤️
I have a boat house just done 1st. street from Sonrise marina. Welcome to Sandusky.
Thanks. SonRise is a great Marina! 😎
Bittersweet for sure!
❤️
Your videos were great! Kind of sad to see the boat go. Guess you can't keep doing the loop forever though.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, all good things must end, but great things ahead!
You need bigger fender balls in a situation like that.
For sure 😊
