CLOSE CALLS with BIG BARGES
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Norfolk, VA is an commercial area packed with big barges and large ships. A lot of them are commercial and a bunch are military as well. We just tucked off to the side of the channel and tried our best to stay out of the way of these behemoths. We finally made it out into the wide open Chesapeake bay where the weather improved and we had another successful day on the water!

Your deadpan "I can't show you guys that" was literally one of the funniest things I've watched this week. Thanks for the laugh.
I am in law enforcement and there is just something about your videos that helps calm me from a very stressful day at work KEEP IT UP !!
Your profile pic and this comment.
Made me laugh
Chris s hang in there brother, sometimes it's the little things that keep us grounded.
Same here. I am a correctional officer in Texas and this is exactly what I need after a long shift.
Thank you both for serving our country in what are tough jobs.
I did serve my country in the military, but I don't think what I'm doing now is considered as such, and I wouldn't put myself in the same category as Chris, but I appreciate your sentiment. People like you that are aware of the sacrifices people make for our great country is what makes the world go around.
Very classy of you Billy, protecting Sierra from the camera. Well done. I love these videos. You two are like Adam and Eve on this wonderland adventure. KEEP THEM COMING!
Thanks for being a gentlemen and not showing us Sierra's work out. Although she is very attractive it is not the reason I watch your adventure. You have great videos about your journey and what can happen on them. That is something some of us will never experience, except by watching your videos. Thanks again for sharing.
billyl allen Fully agree with you and very well said!
Completely agree! This channel, paper sailor girl, and wicked salty. The rest I have came across are just their for views.
I thought the same thing Billy keeping it classy and respectful. I like that.
lol and there's nothing wrong with that lol its not why I watch this, but I couldn't care otherwise. if a woman has a hot body and she is proud of it, then its hers to flaunt. why is something as beautiful as a semi or completely naked woman considered dirty rude, and in bad taste. something to be covered up. But where all ok with graphically Violent video game trailers with people getting torn limb from limb. Hide something Beautiful and glorify something discussing and horrific. don't you think that's a little backwards. and we all wonder why there's so many sick evil people in this world.
I love his facial expression when he says "I can't show you that" classic
Awesome , your parents raised you right! Someday your kids will truly enjoy these! Fair winds and following seas!
So cool you guys stayed inside Smith Point which is my family's blue crab & "Rock Fish" (AKA, Stripped Bass) stomping grounds on the Potomac for decades out of Colonial Beach, VA. I now live in S.W. FL & have friends in Jupiter, maybe we'll see you over there one day.
I totally see Jetties blog being in the afternoon show for kids
fun to watch, it's a reality show and the cast is a couple of happy young people having a great adventure and sharing it with us. Pretty cool, I'd love to try what you all do. You seem to have a great deal of knowledge about the boating world. You guys are great, keep it up and be safe!
Living the dream man! Those seas look pretty gnarly haha. I'm looking for a trawler as a liveaboard for next year! Keep making the videos!
Amazing videos!!!
Oh yeah. I'm a biker at heart but everything doesn't have to revolve around cursing. Thank you for keeping it clean, it shows true class.
Welcome to our Bay...I hope it was a good trip through for you!!
Your videos are only getting better! Thanks for the insight boatlife!
That "coffee water" runs through my veins!
Having spent thousands of hours on the Albemarle sound, I can tell you that was not too rough. There wasn't even any white water on top of those rollers.
Milton Tucker ain't no arguing here commercial fishing I've seen worse in Chesapeake and the sound of eastern north Carolina
+Milton Tucker no doubt you've seen way worse but the video footage doesn't do it justice. There was white on the top of swell.
+Tula's Endless Summer every*
Milton Tucker i
Hahahaha....."You can't have ribs without BBQ sauce!!"........Nice. She knows what's up for sure.
Yup, Norfolk is one busy commercial and military port. I usually run just outside the channel to avoid traffic and keep a sharp lookout. Those ships and barges can sneak up on you fast.
A good way to use the canal on a small boat is to be on the "down current" side.....in case of a motor failure.
Love your videos!! Welcome to the Chesapeake, my sailing grounds. Yes and thank you for not using Sierra for click bait. You all are classy ✌️ I can show my kids. Thank you!!
Hey guys love your videos. It's so amazing seeing all of the places you guys go. Seems like a such an amazing life you two have together. Keep up the good videos.
C&D Canal! Cape May! I forget your destination, but is so fun to watch this and say I've been there, I've been there too.
Looks like a fun time. HELLO from KENT Island!!
Thank you so much for posting this! It's so awesome to see y'all coming through an area I'm so familiar with. I learned to waterski behind my grandfather's boat on the Pungo Alligator canal and spent many sunny afternoons on one of the small beaches that line the shore there. Glad you made it across the Albermarle it can be really hairy and those pots are no joke if you suck them into to the prop especially in those conditions! FYI there is a small marina right next to the Alligator River bridge that carries a few essentials if you are low on supplies.. They can also offer safe harbor or fuel if needed. I highly recommend a slight detour to Belhaven as well when traveling on the Pungo River. There is a full size grocery store in town as well as a couple of marinas and restaurants. There is also a rail yard if you need an emergency haulout for any reason. I love your channel and it's so awesome to see you visit my North Carolina!
Awesome to see you guys in the Chesapeake Bay, we take our boat out through middle river or gunpowder river kool to hear you talk about where we are from
I look for your videos daily.... y'all are awesome, Great adventures........ Smile,
That coffee colored water is called brackish it's a mixture of salt and fresh water that has come down from up river swamps and forests it get the color from trees and fallen trees and bark that decayed. You passed my sisters house and my nephew on the Waccamaw near Myrtle Beach. When I was a kid we had a beach house in Myrtle there were three piers for fishing none of the hotels and motels that are there now.
Haha. You can tell your back to work Billy! All clean cut now!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. You are indeed a gentleman.
Watched all your videos ... now I'm starting all over again 👍
Lol....yeah, we're all so thankful you are a gentleman and didn't show us Sierra's work out. Another interesting vid. Keep em comin with or without a Sierra work out.
Dodging the crab traps. Never know what will make your day hell. Good call to play it safe by taking the extra day of travel.
Crab traps suck.. Especially in the keys... It can destroy your running gear. Sink your boat. Your a good captain Billy..
You're a good man Billy!!
Thanks for all the great video and commentary. You guys rock! Will you have video of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal as you catch up with video of your trip north? Keep up the great stories and sights.
Thanks for uploading!! Hope the jobs are going well. 👍👍🛥
Actually passed you guys on our way outta Baltimore on a cruise. Really enjoy the videos and the journey you are sharing. Thank you
thanks for the great trip up dates .
With pop corn on the stove. Heat the oil by itself. Then add just a few kernels. And once they start to pop add the kernels in small amounts.dont dump them all in at the same time.
Absolutely fab video. We drove up the eastern seaboard once. We went across at Chesapeake Bay on that huge bridge that is part road and part tunnel. Not keen on that :/
Billy, you are such a smart guy and you have wonderful manners.
Darn....another video of yours just needed and I still want more.....wait, I know.....make a movie maybe?? Love your channel you two (and Jetty the gypsy also) be safe and happy slip streams!
Love you guys and Jetty ❤❤
Another great video. We had a weather delay in the Alligator River for 3 days when we did the trip back to LI. It was boring. No internet at marina in those days. Albamarle Sound can get very rough. You & Sierra had a great trip though. Great Rock Fishing (Striped Bass) in the Chesapeake out of Kent Island though. Hope you are enjoying LI.
Bill great video! Wait until you get into the Baltimore area. Extremely busy with ship traffic! Keep making the videos as they're excellent. Anchor's Aweigh from NJ.
How great was that. You turn a nasty scary day into an adventure.
I bet that squash along with the sauce and bacon was more than you could eat. Tomorrow you'll catch plenty of fish, and find one last thing to go with that. It'll be the best fish you ever ate. Then finally, you'll get into a decent store, days after you 'needed' to. How exciting.
Your babies are missing out on all this fun. How long are going to keep them waiting?
Y'all are living the life!!!!
You all past right be my house. Would have been awesome to see you all out on the water passing by.
I like to see you choosing safe routes in the unfamilair areas. It is sometimes tempting to take the quickest route.
Sierra's the girl ! She fishes ! I never caught a Mahi, I caught blues in long Island sound. You can live off the ocean, so cool
ocean city md inlet is nice and very easy to get in with plenty of spots to tie up or anchor in the bay..
Good job as always. Hot pockets for lunch.
Another interesting video ,
thanks for all of them,
I'm subscribed to this and Jetty's channel,
I look forward to watching y'all's videos.
Thanks for sharing 😎
OK Billie, how come we can't watch Sierra working out? Darn that river looked more like an ocean! Nasty color of water too!
Ocmd is a great stop! You should add it on your way back south...
Hello from Washington D.C
Really love these videos.
Yes Beth that is true but if I recall I believe the transmission that Billy purchased also went out and if I recall in my mind he had to buy some type of a clutch disc I remember had ordered it but they never did windup saying what happened or whatever the case was just curious.... okay Billy you're reading this chime in let us know what happened LOL
Will be interested in hearing your plans back summer is half over already
km glad toó here from u guys where ur dog so cute
When I use to repo yachts for the banks them and their insurance companies had no problem paying us extra to be safe and use the Chesapeake and C&D canal.
One would think that the crab pot buoys shud be brightly painted and reflective utilized ❓🙏🏽❓Happy to know you made it safely. I'm sure the motor problem, bridges, et bridges got to you both however you handled it. With grace verses profanity
Great videos! I'm hooked now. keep up the great work.
On another note, be extremely careful in Manasquan, NJ extremely dangerous the last few days.
I thought you might have had Sierra fish for your dinner! Lol! She seems to be able to catch fish without little or no effort.
6:15 looks like a 4 ship of f-22's out of Langley. Cool sighting
I love your show. If you guys are ever in Salisbury, MD and have problems you have a nice place to stay at our house. I won't deny, BILLY sounds like Walt JR from Breaking Bad... it cracks me up. Sierra, is the daughter I wish I had, very cool and in to nature.
Greetings from Norfolk,Virginia!!
Aww... yall were in my neighborhood! :)
always be safe
Mmmmm... beans... There'll be some time spent up on the top deck afterwards. My question is... why the loss of faith in your powertrain ? That engine is rock solid. Maybe have a "pro" eyeball the plate and transmission for correct alignment at your convenience, but I doubt you'll have any trouble with the motor itself.
Love the blogs
Just love your videos
yeah you got to watch out by Albemarle sound that place is scattered with crab pots
baked beans! always a last resort. lol love it!
The Chesapeake bay sucks when it's cold and rainy
Good job on the quick catch of the camera when Sierra was working out. Just tried Spaghetti squash for the first time and loved it surprisingly enough. Did you fish at all recently to supplement some protein?
That's bad when barges pass you.....he,he,he.
Never heard of spaghetti squash. Looks good. Cool vid.
When I hear him say rough I like cringe because I’m use to a 82ft sport Fisher so 6-8 is nothing but great vids keep up the hard work
Agreed. I run on the Pacific coast, NorCal, OR, WA. 6' is a good day! The ICW will spoil a person
What day did you go up the CB? There are a lot more restricted zones enforced during the weekdays than the weekends. And then there are the areas that will always prompt the "Securitay, Securitay, Securitay" over 16 .
Did you guys stop in rock hall Maryland? Ocean city inlet is decent, Indian river inlet further north can be very rough! Born and raised on the eastern shore of Maryland
So many people have no idea why we say eastern shore . A totally different environment than "the other side" :-)I live at the top of the bay!
Is there a better way to haul your tender? That's constant drag, and I would be scared of it coming lose or taking water without you knowing it.
Very Cool! I'm on Fairlee Creek and sorry I missed you going by. I would of liked to run you out a cheese steak or hoagie or something.
4.9cop blank I wondered if they stopped in rock hall or not
I bet they did!
If you could get another boat what would it be
I would think a 2017 brand new state of the art beauty.
TheAgentAssassin it's better to buy a better built older boat than a new boat with less quality.
SMOOTH SEAS-------------
Are you sure that is a whaler because it might be a Carolina skiff. Love the vids
that part of the chesapeake there is crab pots everywhere...its actually extremely annoying and i never understood why the placement and marking isnt better regulated.. even crab pots in the channels.. the poorly marked ones are nearly impossible to see until your almost on them..
I've been watching for some time now. I was wondering if you were going off the coast or stay in The Chesapeake. You guys anchored jus a few miles my place, just west of Smith Point. I am disappointed the posts are coming after the fact, but I know how much work editing video is. Crabs are big business in this area as are oysters when they are in season.
Good series very watchable.
KOOL, You know Nokomis ? or Luttrels Corner, Va. ?
BIGFOOT'S BOGGY BOTTOM LODGE No, I don't know them. if you are coming this way on the way back, Jennings Boatyard in Reedville is good resource for any mechanical issues you may have. I felt your pain with the transmission problems, as I am in the middle of repowering my 29 foot sloop and have to reposition motor mounts for a completely different motor/tranny combo.
I look toward to your future postings.
I love your vid's
Can u guys do more fishing?
Thanks for making great videos! What's the specs on your engine ? What size and what make and model? etc.
Spaghetti squash is the best!
Beans are always good. Jetty is busy eating can't talk.
Hey I live in Hampton Virginia right across the water from Norfolk and fish the bay all the time in the summer for cobia and was wondering if you have seen any on your trip through the bay
Hey are you going to the Delaware canal if you are come down to betterton Maryland it's right before the canal and we're hang out for a little bit if you want
I grew up in rock hall, cool to see so many viewers from that area!
Yep.... a little farther up from betterton is a really nice overnite anchoring area. Just outside Lloyds creek ,I believe. Darn shame they are pressed for time ...so many cool land spots to visit.
I live in northeast md
I suspect he may also not have known in advance, that many spots in the upper bay are fresh water as opposed to brackish or salty AND some rivers are cleaner than others ....which is perfect for a midnite swim. I would prefer to overnite on the sassafras....rather than the Elk or Delaware rivers. :-) ( Anywhere close to the channel is silty ,thanks to the ships passing over.)
we want uncle ronnie in a video
+Pierre Le Guyader oh don't you worry Pierre
how bad were the flys in that long straight ditch that feeds into alagator river
Also...What purpose is served by the elevated platform at the stern of the boat?
+Steve Johnson those are solar panels
Hey you deleted last video. Anyway here's what I tried to post. Nice video. On your way home from NY or if you get a couple days off. You two should spend a few days on Block Island. Nice place. Maybe take the ferry from Block Island To Galileo, RI. Just a suggestion
What app are you using on your iPad for navigation?! Also do you guys ever stop and anchor in Jersey?!
What part of fire island do you guys guard at? I'll be there next week.
What do you guys do for refrigeration while underway? Icebox or 12 volt or propane? I noticed you use a Honda generator, so I'm assuming it's not running the refrigerator.
