Hi Maria, found your R44 videos last week, I’m about to solo a R44 this month! Have always dreamed of the Great loop! Congrats & Godspeed! My wife & I will be following your loop journey! Love that ranger ship! Before kids, we had a 24 Sundancer for Catalina. Love your loop flag on the bow!
Maria, really interesting watching this as I live in this area. Watching this in August, live in Great Bridge, and drive over those bridges every day. That sunken sailboat has been joined by another junked boat, and we are trying to get both hauled out and put in a dump. Do not know why the city allows this. Thanks for all of the great commentary, and safe travels!
You are cruising my neck of the woods in this video. I cross that channel you are running when I leave Tulls Bay, heading East to Corey’s Ditch, fishing for catfish & Strippers. I normally pass Day board 76. That sunken sailboat is currently re-floated. It’s a hug old boat that catches one’s eye for sure. I cross that bridge frequently. Nice video.
I will do a video about that in the future. I have the ability to display my chart plotter on a mobile device and will do videos where I record my tracks and things like that. It's on my list. I just don't have the time lately to edit video! I'm still traveling.
15:35 1.4 Gallons per mile seems like a lot of gas consumption! I'm guessing it can get pretty expensive cruising this way? Are there any strategies for covering the distance without so much fuel?
Oh, what a wonderful thing. Alone with a good dog on the water.
Two dogs! We’re having fun. 😊
Nice video Maria. I enjoyed the explanation of how you coordinate with others to navigate safely.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Good luck with the R44. I miss mine but these days, I’m really enjoying the boat. The Loop will be waiting for you when you’re ready to cruise.
Great video! Very entertaining and informative.
Thanks Maria for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
My good friend runs the great bridge Bridge. That was his voice.
How cool is that!
I’m a huge fan of these long videos! Perfect camera angles so I feel like I’m in the boat with you! Thank you! 🙏
LOL! I'm glad someone likes them! I don't think most folks have the attention span to stick with me for so long.
@@MariaLanger Well I certainly do! I love your videos! Keep it up! Impatiently awaiting your next one! Stay safe out there, my friend! 🙏
Great Trip. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!

Nice video.
I remember feeling how spooky that boat was with its mast sticking out of the water. Thanks for watching!
Great video
Thanks!
3:19 I would love to know more about using a radar and showing the boats location on radar. Many thanks!!

Slower speeds reduce fuel consumption. So does planning your cruise to take advantage of tidal currents. I do this when practical.
