Been there, done that......many times. Nice family, great yacht,. Good sailing.
Thank you :)
Going it alone the first time is scary. You guys did great. After a while you will not want to trust line handling to strangers, even dock hands. While many dock hands are good at their job, some are completely clueless and can turn a good docking into a nightmare in seconds. I always prefer my own crew for line handling. Anyway, keep practicing and keep producing videos.
Now it is time to start the trip!!!
We have started -- but can't seem to find the time to edit while on the move. You can follow along more real-time on instagram -- @TheBoomershines
Unfortunately I do not have instagram!!!
Every time you tie up to or exit a marina slip it will get easier and easier, although there will always be situations that get scrambled.
Love the engine room -- amazing space and accessibility. You will bless that space over and over. Good video, enjoyed it.
We are sitting still this morning and Mark is in there working right now -- and blessing all the space for sure!
Ok always keep this in mind. When you are out in the middle rarely will bad things happen. They will almost exclusively happen what you get close to the sharp and pointy edges.
Hence the docking anxiety LOL
GREAT JOB Shiners. I see y’all are in Charleston per NEBO. We’re watching ya. Thanks. D.
We are making progress with the loop -- just not with editing videos LOL
When we first got our Grand Banks 42, I thought wow this is a big boat. A year later I am thinking its too small and we need a bigger boat, hahahah……..its all relative……y’all are doing a great job.
yahoo~Omg~what a top edting!
Loving your experiences and following along. Your conversation on the flybridge mirrors what we're going through because a month ago we took delivery of our new Airstream travel trailer & F250 truck. Just finished our third trip of hitching and unhitching, same as moving marinas. Y'all and us are at the same point of the learning/fear/anxiety/excitement curve. Good luck.
Winning!!! 😎💪🏼
Congrats on the first solo run and great to see there is a cliff hanger... Does the docking station work... I guess I will just wait and watch as the journey continues.
Suggest all wear PFD’s. Also wireless headsets are great.
One piece of advice is to invest in a wireless radio headsets so you both can communicate with each other without having to yell or even see each other.
We have them. The problem is that Mark stopped talking. He was focused on trying to fire up the aft station and just didn't communicate.
@@TheBoomershines Some sites call them marriage savers 😃
A young couple got married...she wanted a cat and he longed for a dog. After much back and forth they finally compromised...and got a cat. I'm 74, my oldest grandchild is 34 and I'm just passing a little wisdom along. Happy sailing :)
two words. Yes dear
Amen and amen ✅
Strategic cut at 5:18 to keep it a family show. LOL
There is an App that has marina dock layouts. I forget the app but some of the other boaters should know the name, it will make it easier and less stressful to know where you are going.
Mom you need to relax a little bit daddy‘s trying to hold whole down y’all’s relax Modes. Read a little bit more mama. Great job keep on filming!!!!!!
Oh I am trying to relax and I've read probably too much. That is probably my problem. Hopefully I'll settle down with time. But the jury is still out on that one. LOL
Time to start chilling a little. Not every maneuver it everything that happens on a boat is a Titanic moment.
A few hours with an experienced captain or signing up with trawler classes will be beneficial for anyone with a boat that size. They will teach you how to dock, cast off probably using a single-engine trawler/boat and with the added benefit of two engines, bow thrusters docking and maneuvering a large boat in high winds, currents etc. will become a non-event...or, you can continue to have anxiety attacks and worse.
We actually have a few years of experience on a 44' boat. We went to the Chapman School of Seamanship prior to running that boat. We highly recommend it to anyone learning the ropes. This is a much larger boat and just takes some time to get used to. This was only our third time moving this boat and our first without extra hands. It just takes me some time to get confident with a new boat.
What has happened to y'all? Are you still going to do the Great Loop?
Sorry to be MIA. Been super busy starting the loop and figuring everything out. But sitting still waiting for a weather window and we are going to start getting caught up. Thanks for checking on us!
2:53 Red Right Return, 8:42 Mark turned into Julia Childs,
LOL
PUT A RED and GREEN spoltch of fabirc or felt on something with a MAGNET on it, ;) and put them in the right place PORT or STARBORD according to what direction you going... ??? I have seen them on OTHER LOOPERS boats...
That is a great suggestion that I know lots of people use.
I just found your channel and I'm curious if you have shared the forecasted fuel use. My back of the envelope calculation is 10,000 gallons of diesel.
It depends on a bunch of factors but we plan to do our best to maximize fuel economy so that we are closer to 6,000 or 7,000 gallons.
Hi I have worked on a lot of Ocean Alexander’s from 38 feet up to 70 also was an ocean Alexander dealer for a long time if I could help you with any questions on some of the boats just give a call out. . Chris schoendorf
Wow! That is great, Thank you so much for the offer to help. We have so many questions that we may take you up on that.
Well, maybe next time mount a camera somewhere with a good wide view over looking the side of the boat that you're docking on and just leave it on while you've docking.
How's that saying go ? If there ain't no video it didn't happen.
Great suggestion. We will work on adding those types of shots in.
Where did u get the planter on your crane poll and how is it attached
It is just some plastic pots glued to the pole. So far it is working well!
Marriage saver headsets is what you. Two need to communicate with each other when docking
We have them now and they are fantastic. We were using our phones with airpods here which worked as well but not as well as marriage savers.
There's no crying in yachting!!! Settle down youngster, take a deep breath and carry on.
You can do it.
LOL. I am going to keep telling myself that :)
Also get a Tony little Gazzle for all of you you'll Thank me the kids need to exercise it's the Best cheap too
You guys ok?
Mark and Bonnie (and kids), I hope you never change the way you're doing YOUR channel. Don't try to please every viewer. It won't work. I also follow the Wynn's and what makes it fun is seeing them being themselves. I like that you suggested one of the persons commenting on what you are including in the videos to check out "What Yacht To Do". They mike like that site better. Rev and Sam have made it a business and you can tell it's not as enjoyable. So, bottom line, don't change. It looks as if you're having fun learning the location of where switches are and what the boat has to offer. I'm glad you're including the children in the everyday operation of SeaSHINE. One day you'll be able to sit back while they operate the boat. (Well, as much as possible) Ha Ha!) I look forward to you sharing this journey with us. Semper Fi!
Hi Tom! Thank you so much for taking the time to send such a kind comment. We know we will never please everyone -- so we will just do our thing and be grateful for people like you who are OK with that. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial day weekend!
First boat 43 foot Wife and I, our only option at our slip is stern in, no thrusters , no dock hands, very tight flyway, stress level massive for the first half a dozen times. It becomes easier for sure. Ya'll are slamming it out of the park.
Thank you! Glad to know we aren't the only ones who are stressed at docking. And SUPER glad to know it gets easier.
Well done ! good job. In a few weeks you'll be throwing that thing around like a zodiac ! .
I hope so! Thanks so much for cheering us on.
Congrats, I remember this same day about 25 years ago with my wife and four kids. You have just created your first memory. Start a log and Journal.
We are working on both. Some days we do better than others. LOL
We understand the baby step concept but we would rather see docking of the boat, details on marina etc. and no need to see Chuckie Cheese. Also where are the two cats?
Hi Bonnie, The goal of this channel is to document our adventure -- which will include the good, the bad, the highs, the lows and the visits to Chuck E Cheese LOL. There is a great channel What Yacht to Do that is more nuts and bolds about the loop that you may prefer.
Clean the lines, you'll get over that pretty quick!
That's the plan!
Congrats you guys…..take your time , have some fun and enjoy! Thank you for another fun Vlog. 🛥🥂
Thanks so much!!
Great episode! Stay safe and have fun Seashine crew! Nice job!! 👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Congrats on your first run....really enjoyed it!! Be safe and have fun.
Thank you! We will try our vest to be safe and have fun for sure!
Envious of your life. Earned a subscription.:)
Hey what's Happening with the boat and life hopefully your All Doing Well and want to see what has been done w boat Even thou You All Gottaaa Great Boat past owner will be Soo Happy w your adventures ... Anything New PS don't forget the Sunscreen please apply to kids Too
I fear for you 🤣
Valid concern LOL
I’m loving watching your big adventure! Let me know when you’ll be in Annapolis so that we can meet up. You can use my car if you need to provision while your here!
Marc, I still love your engine room Man.....Love how your kids got involved in the undocking procedure
I know exactly what Marc meant about “baby steps”. I’m doing the same thing on mine. But I’m beginning to suspect that I may have bitten off more than I can chew by trying to solo a 58 footer. But the remote stations on the rear of the flybridge and the aft deck really help, especially the “position hood” option.
thanks for sharing your baby steps!! great video from start to finish. really good job!!!
Good job! 👍
Thanks!
Great video well put together ,absolutely loved it thanks for bringing me along take care 😎
Nice to see you folks gaining experience in small steps. As you continue along this path you will become much more comfortable with it. This isn't to say you will get to the point of no anxiety, but there will be a lot less of it. Happy sailing
Maybe y’all should rename your anxiety lol
You guys exuded confidence in the finding the boat stage and now some early dating jitters. Fun to watch! Go slow, go as a team.
I like yall's channel but yall need to get off the dock n start doin the loop . 😊
LOL. This was filmed back in March -- the first week we owned the boat.
If you want more real time info, follow us on instagram @theBoomershines. We are currently working our way north in a beautiful section of the ICW
I would love to follow along but i dint do instagram or facebook or any of the other ones . Just watch youtube . Hopefully yall will put more on youtube .
@@asphaltjunkie4748 hopefully more coming soon
When I'm going to a marina I don't know I always look at their website for a dock layout. I also look at Google earth. I take a screen grab on my phone so it's always ready. Most guidebooks also have the marina layouts. I also have port and starboard cameras and a stern camera so I never have to leave the helm to see where I'm at. On Google earth I always use the measure tool and make sure I know how wide the fairways are ahead of time. Have all your lines and fenders ready before you enter the marina...this is all basic stuff but I see so many boats having a Rodeo once they are in the marina..... Have fun. With twin engines and bow and stern thrusters your boat will be easy to handle once you get some time built up.😎
These are all great tips and ones that we do. I don't under why all marinas don't post a map/layout on their website. What guidebooks do you have with marina layouts? We are using waterway guide and it does not have layouts. Knowing the layout is a big help in lowering my docking anxiety.
Well Done Boomershine’s! First time docking is always very stressful, it will only get easier from here!
Or more expensive
