We found the whiteboard to be super helpful since plans change so much. It also let the whole crew see what the plan was. Thanks for the encouragement :) and for watching!
Another banger of a Great Loop video. After viewing a few videos now since joining in on your big adventure I have quickly determined that..... The Admiral is halarious!!! 😂 Safe travels and many blessings to you all. 🙏❤️😎
The Admiral here -- I am so glad you get my sense of humor and enthusiasm for life. We really appreciate all your kind comments and support. You are AWESOME!!! We'd love to send you a SeaSHINE sticker if you want one. DM us your address over on Instagram :)
@@TheBoomershines that is super sweet of ya'll. I'm not on IG but I appreciate the king gesture. If I ever decide to join one day I will hit you guys up. 😊
LOL. One of my mottos is "Safety First." The kids would probably I rather not have that motto but they are stuck with it. They are too precious :). Thanks for the sweet comment!
Welcome to the GA coast. As I mentioned in another episode, my wife and I live on Saint Simons Island, and we both grew up on the Island. Well, I grew older but never up. You got to experience how we keep track of the seasons on the coast: Gnat season, horsefly season, deerfly season, mosquito season, tourist season, hurricane season, Braves-lose-in-the-post-season season, and the most important season of all, college football season. We used to take my dad's boat from SSI to Cumberland on the weekends to camp there. We were teenagers and therefore idiots and sometimes forgot to check the weather. Then we had to be rescued by my best friend's dad, who owned all the tugboats for the port of Brunswick. Och weel. I learned at an early age that I should fly off ships and not drive them. Fly Navy.
Love every bit of this -- the seasons especially LOL. Also glad to know that we weren't the only ones surprised by weather/waves in the sound. Did you land on aircraft carriers???? If so, IMPRESSIVE!!!
The first time we anchored was in the Bahamas. Did not get a wink of sleep. By the time we started back 4 weeks later from the Exumas we got the hang of it and for the most part rested well. You guys/crew are doing great. Really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for another great episode. I am learning so much! I hope the home sickness was short lived, but I can imagine that is totally normal. Would love to eventually see a breakdown of fuel consumption, how many times you booked a marina etc during your year, Unless I missed that from a video a few months ago. Keep them coming!!!
The poem is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, big guy. And it's Henry David Thoreau All those Lit classes had to pay off sometime. Seriously - AWESOME video!

I really like how you guys are keeping it real. Showing the doubt and the achievements.
Thank you! We hope to give everyone a very realistic view of life on the loop - the highs and the lows. Thanks for joining us on this crazy adventure.
Another excellent episode! Wishing you fair winds and following seas, as you all continue on your journey!
Thanks so much! We really appreciate your kind words :)
I love the whiteboard for route planning. That’s a great idea. Keep the videos coming….

I had to laugh! I have been around those flies before and felt that moment. They can really add to the adventure!
Those darn flies were the worst! Glad to know we weren't the only ones who react that way to them LOL

@@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures We have a SeaSHINE sticker with your name on it when you want it :)
Awesome video to date, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Horseflies 😱🤬Grrrrr! Disappointment and frustrations But you all seem to make the best of it! And, I applaud your cautious and safety first attitude!

Thank you!!! It takes time to build confidence in your anchor. And it took the admiral more time than most LOL. Thanks for the kind comment!!!

Great suggestions! We will work on that :)

Thank you!!!
The only defense against horseflies is full body armor. Those things are worse than Canadian mosquitos.
🤣🤣🤣 we agree! Those suckers are mean!
How much chain do you have on your anchor?
75 feet of BBB chain and three feet of three ply rope.
He is right! The horse flys can be terrible through the Georgia flats.
There were BAD! But easy targets LOL
I follow OLOH as well.
They really are the BEST!!!
A friend of my wife was severely hurt when one of the wild horses trampled her on a path. Be careful!
Oh no!!! I hope she is OK.
It's so weird with the horse flies. St Andrews Inlet and St Simon Inlet. Don't know what makes them so bad there. Next up, No See 'Ums!
The horseflies are no joke!!!
I bet you wish you had enclosed the fly bridge now, eh? Horse flies are brutal.
Nah! For the short time of horseflies the rest of the trip of open flybridge was incredible!!! Thanks for following along. ⚓️Mark
@@TheBoomershines Horse flies aren't the only pests you'll encounter. I'm betting you both end up with a change of heart.
