S3E5-GREAT LOOP-LEG 28-Marco Island, FL to Key Largo, FL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- We are leaving Marco Island early after fueling up. Today is not the best day on the Gulf, but it is not terrible either. Most of our trip down Florida's west coast is spent dodging crab pots. As we leave the Gulf and enter the Atlantic, yep, still crab pots! Watch until the end to see one of our tougher marina approaches! Crash Corner!

The locals pronounce it Cape SAY-bull. Brother ya'll must be burning the diesel! Enjoy your postings. You're exceptionally good at keeping viewers oriented as to your location and progress. Fair winds and following seas! Capt. Klaas
Thank you so much Lawrence! We appreciate you saying that! Bob puts a lot of time in the videos, so Thank you :)
@@cruisingandromedawould be nice to know what damage was done to the boat, and how much it cost to fix if you’re comfortable saying. Being out for 100 days was wild to learn in the last video after you have been back for a couple videos since relaunching. ,
Love the cruising at higher speeds. Yall are doing awesome. Be safe, Frank
Thank you Frank! We appreciate that! :)
Did you have crab for dinner? Lol 🤣🤣🤣
LOL, I think we may have hahaha. :)
Try wearing short sleeve and misting with water hose . Sun screen and large hat!
Thank you! We definitely needed to up our game for the hot weather gear! Thank you for sharing and joining us! :)
Congrats on this milestone; you're within striking distance of your Bahama's goal. Always, always hated having to back in to a slip with our sailboat. Looking forward to your Gulf Stream crossing report and your first Bahamian port of call.
Thank you! We are SOOOOO close! Thank you for sticking with us!
You 2 and Ollie are very tuff you are doing a great job navigating... don't let them c-pots get the best of you, hell someone done left their railroad bridge in the river out in front of you. Or maybe it was a lost submarine. I am so glad you folks are on the mend!!! Dannooo out.
Thank you so much! The crab Pots kept us on our toes for sure! Thank you for your support! We appreciate it :)
Aww, You guys are great! Watched your videos over the last week or 2.
And have really enjoyed them! Sorry for the troubles in orange Beach. Thinking about going sailing again after watching you guys!
Thank you so much Brad! Whoo Hoo! I hope you get back out there. Thank you for joining us!
I sure hope you try to do 2nd loop. Wife and I did Keys for 25th anniversary. So much to see and we didn't do it all. Sea turtle hospital, Christ of the Abyss in John Pennekamp state park, Dry Tortuga's, a day in Key West (More than enough for old farts like my wife and I, but the Butterfly museum and Hemingway house worth it) and more. Sucks on repairs that had to be made and I guess you can do all that without going by your boat.
Glad you all are doing well. Miss you here in the Panhandle! Safe travels.
Thank you Tom! We wish we were back there now :) Thanks for joining us!
@@cruisingandromeda Come on back. Bay Point Bill fishing tournament coming up soon!!!
Ooooo, don't tempt us! We are struggling being back to "normal" LOL
Really enjoying the trip. Be Safe!
Thank you so much Bobby!
I love following your adventures! Look forward to the next one!
Thank you Ronnie! We are so happy you are here with us! :)
That was one long (and tight!) approach to your slip in Key Largo …good thing you didn’t have to turn around in that narrow channel with boats on both sides. No maneuvering room. Ugh. BTW, has Ollie gotten camera shy or something? Or maybe he now has his Actors Equity card and you have to compensate him for on-air time …??? 😂😂😂
Kari it really was a bit nerve wracking!! Thankfully all the charter / dive boats were already out when we came through! It would have been so much harder with all the charter traffic! Ya, Ollie wasn't having it lol. Can't wait to meet you guys this summer! :)
Why are you guys in such a rush, you missed all the beauty of the keys?
When you hit the Bahamas are you sure you’re going to be able to get it out of warp gear before you crash through like the kool-Aid man?
HAHAHAHA I love it! :)
Hey there R & K. See on your Facebook page that you're back home. Congrats on a successful journey. Have watched most of your vids. Just curious...How did you accomodate Ollie on the long days on the water? My wife and I have a 1988 43' Wellcraft Portofino with the intent to spend nights on Old Hickory Lake (near Nashville). Just haven't figured out what to do with the dog. Puppy pads maybe? Cheers.
Thank you so much Doug! We tried the pee pad route, but Ollie never would use it. I think on the worst of days, (Long runs) I walked him after he ate breakfast, and then immediately once we docked or anchored after I fed him dinner. We could usually get him out again, but a few times he did wait. But then I took him right out the next morning. If we left him on the boat to go to dinner, or groceries...we made sure air was on, closed the curtain and we found those rubber peanut butter lick things that kept him distracted. The one thing he HATED was if we left on the dinghy. ( He LOVED the dinghy rides) :)
@@cruisingandromeda Thanks for the reply. I talked to the owner of the boat across from ours at the marina and she said if I had another dog use the pee pad first, then my dog would use it. Just like marking a fire hydrant, right? We'll see. I am curious, what were your careers that allowed you to do what you've done? I didn't hear anything about that in your early posts.
That is a great idea for another dog to pee on it! Ollie has to stop and pee EVERYTIME he smells another dog! Bob is a custom Home Builder, and I owned a Child Care Center for 25 years, but had to close it after Covid due to lack of quality staffing. (everyone needed help) Bob is working remotely from the boat for this trip. Thank you :)
Who do you use for a wave report? Thanks
We use Predict Wind, Windy, and NOA primarily. Thanks for joining us :)
It’s pronounced Cape Say Bill
Thank you for that! We appreciate you watching :)
If you're
Going come down South, you Yankees Need to learn how to pronounce where you're going.
We really do try! There are some tough ones though lol. Thank you for watching :)
I don't understand why the crab pot bouys are not " fluoro " coloured for visibility sake...... great travelling along with you from my arm chair, a great couple. 💙🍻🍻🍻🦘🦘
Thank you Mark! We agree!!! Maybe a universal color? some of the white ones get dingy and discolored and look like birds! Thank you so much for joining us! :)
Say_bul properly
Thank you Brad! :)
