You guys just re-traced the journey of the absolute worst weather I ever experienced on the Great Lakes. I'd say it was the late 70s (I was a teenager) when we went from the Welland canal to Erie with seas running up to 8 feet and waterspouts on the lake. We broke a glass mirror in the salon. The next day from Erie to Mentor was just as bad as we pounded our way through head seas all day. Our whole family was sooooooo glad to get off the boat at Mentor YC with migraine headaches from all the pounding. After decades of boating all over the Great Lakes, those were the worst 2 days of weather.
Thanks so much for sharing ☺️ Yes, this is our second time going through Lake Erie. Look up our other video labeled "Mad at Lake Erie" which was in 2021. Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful ride. I've heard you talk about planning ahead and getting as much information as possible. Given how few issues you've had, you're proof it pays off. Hope you guys are well. Best wishes.
Really enjoy your tube channel. I hope to fulfill this bucket list item. Your planning videos are very helpful, can see that pilot training and crew resource management in your daily routine. As a retired air traffic controller, these great skills we learned often prove invaluable. Stay safe, hopefully in the not to distant future we will follow your wake.
Thanks much for following us! And the nice compliments. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter at www.WhatYachtToDo.com or www.GreatLoopAcademy.com for tips, tricks and techniques about the loop and some free boating goodies! Sam and Rev 😎
It's great to have you on board with us. Yes that was one of the more skinny and narrow approaches to a harbor. I hope the plan renovation there goes smoothly. 😎
Hey guys! Great little voyage in today's video. I was sorta shocked when I heard Rev say the marine fuel price was $3.88gal👍🏼! Fueled up at Buc'ees in Terrel yesterday and the price of gas v. diesel was R-$3.42 & D-$3.69. In my lifetime, I've never witnessed a price separation between the two at $0.27 👀!
Hey guys. Love the channel. I watched last weeks episode and now this week's but I live in erie stayed at wolverine marina last year but im wondering when you were actually here and video's? Or did you record this month's ago and just now uploaded. Because gas is certainly not 3.88 a gallon and I don't think any boats are in the water yet this year 4/6/24
Hi! It would really depend on how fast you are travelling on the water and where in the upper peninsula. I'm thinking 10 days, but do look at our second loop map on www.WhatYachtToDo.com as we went that way on the second loop!

@@WhatYachtToDo Yup. I recall that episode from Cleveland to Put-in-Bay and commented on it at the time. Lake Erie can be very tempestuous indeed.
Next time stop in The Harbor Yacht Club on the Ashtabula River. We are a fun Club!!
I've heard about that club! Thanks for following us! 😊

Thanks Byron. Hope all is well with you and your family! 😎
Mentor Harbor is a great area. I live about 45 minutes away. Safe travels.
Thanks Bruce! 😀

Mentor Harbor is my home port. And you aren't kidding the channel is skinny and I'm in a 19 footer. Safe travels

Always a challenge at a new port.
Yes, full of surprises!
Awesome video Rev and Sam stay safe 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks Joanne ❤️ Have a great weekend 😎

Yes, this voyage was in August of last year and we were given yacht club prices as reciprocal members. Oh, is that Terrel Texas you referencing?
@@WhatYachtToDo Correct. That was yesterday's price.

Thanks for following us! We actually did this trip in early August of last year! We have slowly been catching up with the editing and publishing.😎
We always stay at Wolverine. Great location to town and all the fun places in the Harbor. Short trip from Ashtabula
Did you end up seeing any of those fish net flags?
Yes, we did see one often a distance close to shore!
Hey Sam and Rev. How long would it take to go from Erie to the upper peninsula? There's a bear sanctuary I wanna visit.
