Life aboard our 45 foot Californian Agape (II). We did the Great Loop in 2021 on our first Agape (2004 Mainship400). We're continuing on our adventure on our 1988 Californian 45 Motor Yacht.

Oh Stella 😂😂😂
Did you stay more than one day?
@@experiencingliberte1465 3 nights.
I love it there!!
Well done! Our 8 year old, 80 pound chocolate lab would jump in one leap to get a piece of pizza but God help anyone standing near the top of the stairs.
I'm still considering buying that same model dingy, but WestMarine hasn't had as good a sale as the one you used. The 310 is rated for 4 people, have you carried 4 ok? There are some poor reviews on the WM website re transom delamination and separation, no sign of that on yours?
Thanks nice tour.
I don't understand how folks live without a good dog in their life Good girl!
Always wondered what Albermarle Plantation is like.
A million bucks for the brick house on Water Street, wow
Slime is a byproduct of life. Life hates copper. Microorganisms don't tend to grow on copper. Great idea whoever had it. But the outer casing of the plumbing is brass or bronze which is mostly copper anyway.
Nice dinghy.
Depending on what time of year it is, that green on the water could just be pine pollen. It gets pretty thick at times.
Don't know if it works on the mayflies or whatever they are, but mixed spearmint oil w either water or alcohol, been a while so don't remember, and sprayed my dad's pontoon boat and the supports holding the marina roof up. We didn't have any of those spiders on the boat. Sprayed the guy next to us because we fished together some. Only 2 boats that didn't have spiders and webs on the boat
Those bugs are the worst!! 🥺
Thanks for sharing your day. Just want to pet that dog of your's.
You did a good deed for sure!
Haha, my daughter's dog would already be in the water trying to catch one. Someone found her in the dumpster at around 8 weeks while she was a college and I was mad. Three job school, eat and sleep. Best dog "we've" ever had. Shoot a gun and she's looking at the sky for something to fall. Gets irritated if you shoot a couple of times and miss. Finds someone that's a better shot to hang out with!
Need to add Ft Jefferson to your list to visit. Seventy miles west of Key West, so need a several day good weather window. I believe it used the most bricks of any fort built. Dr Mudd, accused in the Lincoln assassination plot, was jailed there.
I have a friend who lived in Tappahannock on the Rappahannock 😂I spent a wknd there once 😊
Did you go to Tangier Island?
@@experiencingliberte1465 not this time.
I didn't see myself...lol. I live down here and have been there more than once.
Michelle's favorite shelling spot
Seems like they are just before and after St Andrews inlet and St Simons inlet. Haven't been on their water much farther north so couldn't tell you where they stop. Giant green headed horse flies is what we've encountered. I try to warn people when they start the loop, but their videos are normal delayed and they've already experienced them. The other thing is the No-See-Ums. Most screens aren't fine enough to keep them out. Know for sure they're all the way up to Charleston. Daughter played soccer against a team on Daniel Is and when the wind stopped we were eaten!
Do they have nets across the inlet? Maybe moving it out of the way for a sub to come out.
That makes more sense
Mechanicville, just one mechanic not plural
My bad. Sorries
Can you tell me the model Buck/Booster you used? My power is 50 amps to 2-30 amp splitter. Would that work on that configuration? Thanks Sean
@@seanshollenberger9420 acme transformer. Bought it on Amazon. It will buck, lower, or boost, raise voltage depending on how you wire it. I'm not sure about you set up. Maybe watch the video again. I posted that awhile ago.
Good girl Stella👍
Yeah, Michelle to the rescue...
With all respect, this sandwich for 12$ is not a good price/value ratio. But I dont know about prices in that island, youtube just droped me this video while im eating breakfast. Enjoy your vacation!
@@adambertalan1682 I misspoke. The sandwich was $10 not $12
@@aboardagape6390 Still!
As always…I will be checking that out….we love our sister boat:-)
You have a Californian too? Do you have this issue?
Well done! An uncomfortable -- and claustrophobic -- job for sure.
If you don't like it don't buy it
@@steveborgman3987 it's my fault. I didn't say in the beginning of the video that I drove up from Florida to look at this boat. Some have commented that I'm the seller. I was they buyer. The seller's broker wasn't on the boat. He was on the dock.
What kind of dog is she? She looks just like this stray I found by my house.
Staffordshire Terrier
New Bern looks like a nice stop.
I did NOT have to bleed injectors. Just pump until fuel filled the filter and I could hear fuel bypassing the full filter and returning to the tank.
Do you have to prime the engine after changing it? Or can you just swap?
Just swapped em
Now how do you get her up?
@@morgancote9605 check out new video
What is your opinion of those Yanmars?
Clever and thrifty! How did you sew it?
Ok if I had just watched long enough! 😂 cool!
We have a sewing machine onboard!
I was stationed at Cherry Point for a number of years. I retired in Pensacola, FL, but I do miss NC. We used to go to the farmer's market in downtown New Bern every weekend.
Dee & Allie are from there.

What's your experience trying to get Stella to pee or poop on the boat? I'm trying to train my dog to go on the boat, but I can't even get him to pee on astroturf set next to his favorite streetlight at our house.
We rubbed a mat her pee after she went on land, and put that mat on the front deck and she peed on it. For #2, we picked some up after she went on land and put it on another mat on front deck and left it there for awhile, did that a few times. Didn't take ling for her to go on them after we did that
She’s gifted though ❤
Pampered pooch. Nice work.
Put down a big fat U channel as a pathway for the chain all the way to the bottom.
What is a U channel? I'm listening.
@@aboardagape6390 A U shaped channel. Like a track for the chain to follow down to the end of the locker. I don't know if you can just buy one a good enough size (maybe 3 or 4 inches wide?). Maybe salvage the leg off a ladder or sawhorse or something of that nature...
Or even build a wood channel and just glass the whole thing in.
Yuck. At least they don't bite. Better than no-seeums and green head flies. We got inundated by Mayflies when we were bringing a boat back from Detroit to Rhode Island. Big, ugly and they die on your boat by the hundreds.
We call them See-ums the opposite of no see-ums. No biting so that is not the issue, the issue is when they die you get a green spot on your fiberglass. You hit the nail on the head with a fresh water issue. Lots of spiders too! You are just south of Chesapeake city, that anchorage should be better also good places to eat. 225 Prime, best place but others may be less expensive and also good. Safe Travels! TK
We're in Middle River (NE of Baltimore). No bugs and lots of "stuff."
Not sure ur Drone mine flys its self maybe you have your settings to sensitive.
A major change in plans, seemingly on the spot. As someone who boats in Narragansett Bay (summer resident) I have to say you are missing a wonderful cruising ground. Newport, Wickford, Dutch Harbor, Tiverton, East Greenwich, Bristol and more. Lots of nice harbors and coves. Peconic Bay on Long island is also a great place to cruise -- Greenport, Sag Harbor, Montauk, Coecles Harbor, and more. Connecticut has Stonington, Old Lyme, Niantic, Mystic etc. New England is a real treat. Nothing wrong with the Chesapeake! Endless lovely coves on the Eastern Shore and enjoyable towns, similar on the west side of the Bay. But it gets awfully steamy there in July and August.
Dad had a 42' Chris-Craft Constellation that was about 17' in height from the waterline, he always made me set two (Danfort) anchors, stern first--bow second. Wind pressure on the side of a large boat is equivalent to a sail, something gotta give.
