Just to let you know that I have been binge watching you two for two days now. I really love your channel. (I subbed). WOOO HOOO! I do not own a boat, but I do own 2 nice RV's. Boats and RV's are great lifestyles. Take care, stay safe.
As you pass under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge; going north, Iam on the Island to your right. Kent Island. As a pass waterman. The bay is our life. We love and respect it. Annapolis is across the bay and very popular destination for boaters. Enjoy this leg of your journey and safe travels. Thanks for sharing your trip !!!
That’s awesome Ricky! We’ve been around this area for the last few months and its amazing the dedication and work ethic of the local watermen! It’s inspirational
I wish I had known you were in the area for a few months. I would of LOVED to have met you and showed you around our little piece of heaven !!!Maybe next time ? Thanks so much for the videos !!!
hi Guys! Another Great Video. Time for another Nautical Terminology Lesson. "LAND HO!" "SHIP AHOY!" and when hailing another boat without electronics it's "AHOY the (name the vessel)". Keep em coming!
I cannot believe how large the Chesapeake Bay is!! It looked like you were in the middle of ocean. Glad the day cleared up for you though, those sunny afternoon days always look so nice 😍☀️
You guys are on a great adventure. It’s fun to follow along. I happen to be stalking…..err following a friend and his wife headed south down the Intra coastal to FL presently. Our whole group of friends are doing the same living vicariously through them. We are all hoping to do it in couple of years when we retire. You guys are great entertainment as well as educational as we learn from your trials along the way. Keep it up and keep having fun.
Thanks so much for following along! We are so happy that you are enjoying them, best of luck to make it happen in a couple of years! Let us know if you are looking for any type of videos / topics in the future 👍
I almost got a bit seasick seeing those waves! Congrats on making it to the Chesapeake! Smith Island looks like such a neat place. It’s so cool and special to think about the places you’re able to see because of Pivot!
I'm catching up watching some of your videos, while folding napkins for Thanksgiving dinner. (smile). I love watching your videos, especially how authentic you are. I am wondering what the wave height was on the Chesapeake (if you remember).
Not knowing this then, we were in St. Michael’s on the 25th of May at the Looper Crawl. Came through Norfolk a few days later and were awestruck at the massive ships. Great vid. Thanks. D.
Don't know why I haven't watched this one. I did miss a bunch after Elliot broke his wrist. Wife a paralegal/legal secretary in Augusta. Her attorney represented NS. Great calendars every year.
Thanks for documenting your Great Loop travels. As a boater, I appreciate the travel tips. It would be great if you had other camera angles to show exactly what's happening dock level as you come in to dock. Could make some good content. Safe travels.
I’m wondering why you don’t sand and varnish some of the outside wood trim. Looks like a nice boat. You should keep it up on the nice days you are mooring or docking.
Definitely something we want to do more of this! Not enough time right now though, but soon we are going to budget a little time a week to our trim! I think we are going to end up sanding away all the varnish and letting it grey naturally, for less upkeep and kind of an overall muted tone.
Not sure where you may be now but, living on the bay, try not the miss Annapolis, St Michael’s, Oxford, Kent Island, Rock Hall… (sorry list is scattered) … Chesapeake City on the C&D… don’t get me wrong, I love Baltimore but IMHO keep it to Harbor East and Fells Point if you make it. The Chesapeake is awesome!!!
Crossing the Chesapeake did not look like fun. I would prefer the smaller canals, rivers, and waterways. Just an FYI while the boat is in motion the captain never leaves the helm. The only way to control the boat is to be at the controls.
Will you be stopping in Solomons Island? I am the dock master at Solomons Beacon Marina and we would enjoy meeting you in person. We too will be embarking on the loop but still 2 years away we think. Cpt. John
Love your channel and admire "Pivot" but it is a crying shame to see all of that neglected Teak. A few days work would solve it, do it guys shes well worth it.
Removing the varnish is one of our tasks for the next year! It wasn't as big as a priority as say, learning how to boat, but now we are re-looking at it 😁

Hey! Thanks for watching 😁 Boats and RVs are definitely great lifestyles!
My Grandfather retired from N&S, It's cool to know you worked there. It really is a small world. Cheers!
Oh super cool! Thanks for watching Timothy 😁
Great job, great place! Unfortunately, I know what’s coming.
4:15 USNS Comfort. My old ship! She’s a beast. I miss her.

15:07, Welcome to the Eastern Shore. We live about 2 hours north of Smith Island.
Awesome! North of Princess Anne and Deale Island? Very beautiful up there!
@@SchoandJo well, due north. Check out Kent Narrows, just north of there.

Thanks for the nautical terminology John!

For sure! Looking forward to exploring more of the Chesapeake!

The sheer size of the ships in Norfolk compared as you boated past, wow!
Seriously they are huge! And we think Pivot is big for us haha
Just found your channel, nice job.
Welcome aboard!

Thank's y'all! ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving Kim! Thanks for the kind words - I don't fully remember but some crashed around Pivot's Bow height so maybe 3-4 feet?

Wow we must have passed right by each other! Thanks for watching David!
@@SchoandJo I read somewhere that if you hum you can’t get sick. You’ll have a better chance than I. Good luck.
Thanks. D.
Don't know why I haven't watched this one. I did miss a bunch after Elliot broke his wrist. Wife a paralegal/legal secretary in Augusta. Her attorney represented NS. Great calendars every year.

Thanks for the tip! We will definitely be experimenting with more angles in the future!

My first beer was Blue Ribbon Year was 1978 Beautıful vıdeos
Right on! Thanks for watching Ozcan!
Blue crabs, you have to have
Definitely will!
PBR haven't seen one of thim in a long time
Gotta love the PBRs!
Well done
Thanks Harold!
Great video. Love first mate Ollie. Any drone footage of Smith Island?
Ollie is a superstar... The drone makes it's way into tomorrows video! It's like you can see the future :)
How delayed are your videos? Very cool to see you explore and live life to the fullest
Thanks Ryan! This was filmed about 4.5 months ago but in the next couple weeks it will catch up to "real time" more or less

Awesome thanks for the recommendations! We actually haven't yet had the chance to explore the Chesapeake so we appreciate these!

👍
Norfolk Naval Station is the largest in the World..
Interesting! It was definitely huge as we cruised by but I'm sure much more was there behind the scenes.
Will you be stopping in Solomons Island? I am the dock master at Solomons Beacon Marina and we would enjoy meeting you in person. We too will be embarking on the loop but still 2 years away we think. Cpt. John
We might stop there! That would be fantastic, we would enjoy it as well. Thanks John!
I think that is Ollie's chair
She's claimed it... along with every other seat on the boat 😂
Why are you headed north for the winter time ??
The bay doesn't usualy freeze up in the winter, we only get ice near the islands
This was filmed on May 25th 2021
All will be clear in tomorrow's video!
We've heard this from many people as well, it's very rare for it to freeze up lately.
Love your channel and admire "Pivot" but it is a crying shame to see all of that neglected Teak. A few days work would solve it, do it guys shes well worth it.

Dramamine?
We've just been using ginger but might have to procure some!
