Hello from California, San Francisco Bay Area. Loving your videos. I have a small 1996 28’ Bayliner 2858 with flybridge. Bayliner a great bang for the buck. Wonderful designed boats. Cannot wait to be able to afford to customize her.
We love your videos and hope that we might see you this winter in Ft Pierce after you get back on the road in your bus. It is so much fun to follow you guys on the Great Loop. We spend lots of time in our Class A RV, and this summer went to four coasts in Florida, including the Treasure Coast, the Nature Coast, the Forgotten Coast, and the Emerald Coast. We are retired and base our travels out of Ocean City, NJ, where we have a condo. Thanks for sharing all your keen insights and adventures with all of us. Doug and Jan, The Beach Boomers.
Sounds like a fun summer... Florida is so much easier to travel in during summer, isn't it? If you can tolerate the heat, the parks are wide open. When we return from our RVing winter, we'll be returning to the boat in north Florida to resume heading up the ICW. We stopped in Ft. Pierce back in May.
Thanks for sharing that! Earlier this summer we camped at a marina/RV Park at Ilion, NY on the Erie Canal. As you know you’ll be traveling that same route as part of the loop. Not far from the marina/RV Park we took a nice boat ride on the canal through one of the many locks. We were told by the tour guide that the lock operators talk to each other from lock to lock and won’t let a boat through if they got to the next lock before they should have based on the speed limit on the canal. We can definitely see why you elected to take this journey. Loving your videos!
We did a canal cruise up there too while RVing... definitely reaffirmed our Great Loop intentions. So looking forward to that segment. Glad you got to enjoy a part of it!
Can't wait till you reach the great lakes. As we are from lake Erie. Toledo Ohio. We are starting our search for a boat to start our travel of the lakes.
I just discovered your videos last night and have binge watched from when you started shopping for YNOT and am now caught up. I cant wait for the next one. Keep the videos coming and thank you for letting me live vicariously through you .
Love your content packed videos with tips and tricks, but also loved to see and hear about your travels. We hope to make it to Florida from MN this winter, but we wont have a boat, so this was fun to see. 10 minute Max is usually my attention span, but I watched the whole thing!
First video of yours I've watched - pointed here from another cruisers channel. Good production - loved the time lapsed and drone shots. Enjoyed seeing the 'local' neighborhood. We're still new to cruising - in our 'training' year. Moored at Harbortown Marina on the Canaveral Barge Canal on Merritt Island. We've cruised from the Dragon in the south (Did you know the new owners of that property on the point are going to build a new dragon?) to the Mosquito Lagoon in the north. Love the manatees at Haul Over. Next step in 'training' is an over night up to New Smyrna Beach. Trip down to Key West in Spring of 2019 is our 'graduation' exam.
Wow, its the middle of September.... if you do another run of shirts I would like to sign up for one. Like a lot of people I love your videos PLEASE don't stop anytime soon. Thank you.
Hi, my wife and I are in the preliminary stages of our Loop Dream. Please tell us how hot is gets in the cabin on a 90 degree sunny day. Do you need to run the A/C constantly on these days/nights as well or does the ocean breeze eventually provide some relief? TY
Depends on a lot of factors. During the day, usually running at least 2 ACs. At night, it might cool down enough to not need it - especially if at anchor and swinging with the winds.
I've fished the Haulover canal many times, and kayaked it at night for the bioluminescence. Glad to see you around there. I haven't tried parking lot 13 yet, aka, the nude beach, too bashful I guess, also, my dermatologist would have fit!
Love your videos! Thanks for doing what you do... I live in the central Florida area so the places you are visiting in Florida are quite familiar to me.
When we did one of our Great Road Trips, we stopped at the Space Coast and did the Kennedy Space Center VIP Tour. This got us into the Vehicle Assembly Building. I was impressed. My husband had worked in the Apollo Missions and had ridden elevators (past a Fully assembled Saturn V Rocket) to the Roof of the VAB (complete with lightning rods every few feet). He wasn't nearly as impressed just standing in the floor looking up.
Oh wow.. what amazing experiences! We've never been in the VAB, we'll need to look up that tour sometime. And how cool your hubby worked in the Apollo Missions.
Note the VAB is only open when they aren't doing something in there. We were there when it was (sadly) not assembling something. So it really is a matter of timing. But with family in the area, at least you have a reason to visit often. And yeah, my sister in law lives in Jupiter, so driving up the coast to I10 made sense. Great Road Trips would happen when we have someplace we need to go, then add all the fun stuff that lets us see America. "We're in the car, we have a tank full of gas. Hit it."
Done my first long weekend nomading at Historic Reesor Ranch. Trying the bench in my van to sleep on. how did you keep nosey people looking in wandering around your home away from home.
Indeed, nightly marina costs are pretty high - usually $60-150/night for our vessel. We avoid them when we can (such as this trip - all free anchoring). Instead, we utilize weekly and monthly stays when we find interesting cities to explore, which makes it much more affordable (and gives us a better life balance). We're usually staying around a grand a month that way by balancing it out.
We spend the winters at The Great Outdoors in Titusville and have seen several launches from Kennedy Space Center. May your water run deep and the seas run flat.
Sorry you missed the ordering window :( Not sure we'll do them again - we honestly didn't like having to be all 'promotional' about it. Just not our style. Much more fun to just share.
This one was heading north out of Titusville. We did have to wait in FTL for the train bridge to go down when we docked at the city marina earlier this year. They are beautiful bridges!
Crazily enough, at this point - blue water passages don't overly appeal to us. When RVing, we love our water views. When boating, we love our land views :)
I have done lots of research and they have great rep. they are not cheap but built to last a life time. You can spend as much as you want but can also find many at a reasonable price. 300-400k. Only dreams , the wife not a boat kind of girl.
Hi guys, love your vid's we are boaters also and usually down in the Keys two or three times a year. We want to be live aboards some day. Nude beaches been there and love them L.S. resorts are the best.
If you want to stop getting bitten by mosquito's try these. Thermacell : Mosquito Repellent We have gotten a couple of these and they are fantastic. Thank you for making videos
Yes, we have a couple on board... used them over the evening to enjoy our sunset. But doesn't keep them from coming in through cracks and stuff however (not for indoor use).
We are actually nudists and finding places as we travel to continue this has been some thing we are looking forward to. Nude beaches or resorts and of course Burns either regional or Black Rock.
Technomadia we also love burns for the art and atmosphere. We try to include the 10 principles as much as we can in every day life. Well the decommodification is hard when you have your own brand. Lol
In Bulgaria most beaches are clothing optional and its great although seeing my girlfriends mother topless was a bit of a surprise. Needless to say I regret not marrying her lol.
Only thing better than a topless beach is a nude beach. The only reason I pass up a topless or clothing optional area is if it is too cold not because of the possibility of seeing someone I know.
These videos are cool but I get the feeling by some of the facial expressions that there is more stress than they are letting on. This is a great lifestyle but by no means "free and easy".

Titusville and the Space Coast is one of my favorite places on Earth and I had been waiting for this video! Glad you guys enjoyed it!
Such a lovey area!
I just discovered your videos last night and have binge watched from when you started shopping for YNOT and am now caught up. I cant wait for the next one. Keep the videos coming and thank you for letting me live vicariously through you .
Welcome to our little channel.. happy to have you aboard!
Thinking about doing the loop . Love all the information you pass on to us. I’m glad I found you on you tube.
Wow! This is awesome! I'm starting planing to do this now. Probably won't get around to it for another five years, thanks for this post.
Love your videos. Great to see you taking your time and enjoying the slow pace. Too many people focus on “getting there” and miss out on the journey.
We're loving our pace.. and getting to enjoy the places we visit as more than just passing through.
Talk about the “Lazy River”! This is the way to slow walk America. Enjoy your travels and thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks for coming along.. we're loving our 'slooper' pace.
Absolutely love the videos. Have been following along from the start of the Great Loop. Enjoy watching them all. Hope to do it ourselves someday!
Love your content packed videos with tips and tricks, but also loved to see and hear about your travels. We hope to make it to Florida from MN this winter, but we wont have a boat, so this was fun to see. 10 minute Max is usually my attention span, but I watched the whole thing!
Thanks for watching... we're hard pressed to fit much of anything in 10 minutes :D
Loved the update. Relaxed into your time lapses with wonderful 'traveling' music. 😌
We're kinda digging the time lapses too... great way to capture more of the cruising without producing hour long videos :)
One of your best videos in my opinion!
Awww... thanks.
First video of yours I've watched - pointed here from another cruisers channel. Good production - loved the time lapsed and drone shots.
Enjoyed seeing the 'local' neighborhood. We're still new to cruising - in our 'training' year. Moored at Harbortown Marina on the Canaveral Barge Canal on Merritt Island.

Welcome to the channel! You'll love NSB, we ended up sticking there for 5 weeks :)
Enjoyed the time lapse cruising very much!
Glad you're enjoying the time lapse, seems to be a fun way to share the actual cruising without making the videos hours long :)
Wow, its the middle of September.... if you do another run of shirts I would like to sign up for one. Like a lot of people I love your videos PLEASE don't stop anytime soon. Thank you.

Depends on a lot of factors. During the day, usually running at least 2 ACs. At night, it might cool down enough to not need it - especially if at anchor and swinging with the winds.
Such a great video. I was not able to make your video full size on the PC.
I've fished the Haulover canal many times, and kayaked it at night for the bioluminescence. Glad to see you around there. I haven't tried parking lot 13 yet, aka, the nude beach, too bashful I guess, also, my dermatologist would have fit!
That's why we got up early and were there in the very early morning (and I, Cherie, wore my sun jacket when NOT in the water ;) )
Really loved this vid. Realize this is effort for you guys, but please keep it up? Luv watching these and "joining" you on your adventure.
Thanks for coming along (and super appreciate the comment!)

Very nice. You guys make cruising look so eaay, which I am sure is not quite the case. Still great to come along from my YT viewpoint.
Thanks... on good days, it is easy. It's all those other days too :).
Done my first long weekend nomading at Historic Reesor Ranch. Trying the bench in my van to sleep on. how did you keep nosey people looking in wandering around your home away from home.
We try to seek out secluded spots where folks won't have reason to approach.
Still does not work at a ranch. Was secluded.
If there's people wandering around your camper.. that's not secluded :)
Another awesome video ...thanks you two
Have you set a monthly budget for marina stays?... It would seem with your boat size you would be paying about $100 a night at transient rates?
Indeed, nightly marina costs are pretty high - usually $60-150/night for our vessel. We avoid them when we can (such as this trip - all free anchoring). Instead, we utilize weekly and monthly stays when we find interesting cities to explore, which makes it much more affordable (and gives us a better life balance). We're usually staying around a grand a month that way by balancing it out.
We spend the winters at The Great Outdoors in Titusville and have seen several launches from Kennedy Space Center. May your water run deep and the seas run flat.
Thanks.. we've heard lovely things about that park.
Yep, watched too late due to my own travels, but would love to order a shirt, if you guys decide a second order is a good idea. Thanks for the videos.
Sorry you missed the ordering window :( Not sure we'll do them again - we honestly didn't like having to be all 'promotional' about it. Just not our style. Much more fun to just share.
Beautiful footage!
Well done again. Where was the 90 degree draw bridge? We have one left in Ft. Lauderdale over New River.
This one was heading north out of Titusville. We did have to wait in FTL for the train bridge to go down when we docked at the city marina earlier this year. They are beautiful bridges!
Next in several years, get a Nordhavn and go around the world, you two would rock!
Crazily enough, at this point - blue water passages don't overly appeal to us. When RVing, we love our water views. When boating, we love our land views :)
I have done lots of research and they have great rep. they are not cheap but built to last a life time. You can spend as much as you want but can also find many at a reasonable price. 300-400k.
Only dreams , the wife not a boat kind of girl.
Nordhavn's are great but a motor sail or sailboat is still king of the passage making.
We were just at New Smyrna Beach last month. Beautiful beach and not super crowded.
It is so beautiful! We only made it to the actual beach twice, but loved the historic city area so much.
How do you/I find a solar panel/Canvas maker/installer? What's the critical question to ask beyond, "Have you ever done this before?"
We trust in serendipity and intuition and recommendations from others.
Hi guys, love your vid's we are boaters also and usually down in the Keys two or three times a year. We want to be live aboards some day. Nude beaches been there and love them L.S. resorts are the best.
We loved the Keys.. well, except for that pesky hurricane.
Enjoying the cruise with you. Happy sailing.
Great look into how to live life! Do you see many single handers in this lifestyle?
I like this style of video! Keep 'em coming. Good job! - Lucy
bugs, talk about the bugs. how bad are the bugs on you trip especially when anchoring out?
If you want to hear about bugs, check out the video we published today. 🤗
thanks guys, please keep the videos coming! 😎
Thanks for the reminder about the shirts, I just ordered mine!
Thanks so much!
I live in Titusville,well actually Mims,but within 5 minutes of Tville.
We cruised right by ya!
Amazing vid!
@Technomadia >>> GREETINGS from a now-NC-based FLORIDA NATIVE!!!! {Subbed!}
Thx for sharing!
enjoyed the "Love Boat" music.
When you make it to the Illinois Wisconsin border if you need something and I can be of help contact me on facebook.
I miss Satellite Beach...
If you want to stop getting bitten by mosquito's try these. Thermacell : Mosquito Repellent We have gotten a couple of these and they are fantastic. Thank you for making videos
Yes, we have a couple on board... used them over the evening to enjoy our sunset. But doesn't keep them from coming in through cracks and stuff however (not for indoor use).
Trawling is awesome, keep on trawling
We are actually nudists and finding places as we travel to continue this has been some thing we are looking forward to. Nude beaches or resorts and of course Burns either regional or Black Rock.
We do love burns for the expectation that any dress code goes.
Technomadia we also love burns for the art and atmosphere. We try to include the 10 principles as much as we can in every day life. Well the decommodification is hard when you have your own brand. Lol
Beautiful. Mosquito cove....lol
In Bulgaria most beaches are clothing optional and its great although seeing my girlfriends mother topless was a bit of a surprise. Needless to say I regret not marrying her lol.

These videos are cool but I get the feeling by some of the facial expressions that there is more stress than they are letting on. This is a great lifestyle but by no means "free and easy".
Yes, we were coming out of a very stressful period of time - we've been upfront and honest about it all.
Oh dear, I wasn't trying to imply you weren't. I was just amazed at your great attitudes and smiles in spite of it all. Love your videos!
like your videos. Wanna make them great? watch sailing Zatara. thanks
Thanks.. no desire for our videos to be anything other than they are.
