    What a beautiful town! Everywhere looks so spaced out- in the UK all the houses would be shoved up together, with small front gardens, and the streets much narrower.
    The London Bus was a surprise! I used to catch a bus just like that one (without the open top) to work every day when I lived in London in the mid '80's.
    I'm sorry you didn't show us which of the yachts in the marina was yours though!😛

    • @steveandlindsay

      It really is a beautiful town and the yards are quite spacious as you noticed. It's always peaceful and quiet even during lunch time, this is about as busy as it gets. I love that bus, there is something so iconic about those old London double decker buses, we generally don't see double decker buses around here. Oh, I'm sorry, my yacht must have been just outside the cameras view. lol

    That looks and sounds so peaceful. Lovely trees and wooden buildings that remind me of old western film sets like the general store and sets of old family movies so picturesque. I’d love you visit there. America has some gorgeous little hamlets that we don’t get to see, such as this stunning enclave.
    And look at that clear blue sky. Something we don’t see often in the Uk. Maybe 2-3 weeks out of the year. Not consecutive weeks. Patchy days here and there. And occasionally a very hot week of summer.

    Hi Steve, seeing the Moonraker sign reminded me of the legend of the Moonrakers of the village of Slaithwaite (pronounced Slawit) near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. The legend has it that in the olden days when smuggling was rife, smugglers used to bring their smuggled goods in narrow boats along the canal, that ran through Slaithwaite, and hid them in the canal under a bridge. Under the cloak of darkness they then retrieved their ill-gotten gains. One full moon night they were discovered by Customs men. The smugglers pretended that they thought the moon had fallen into the canal and were trying to save it by raking the moon out of the water. The customs men thought they were just mad villagers and left them alone. From then on they were known as the Slawit Moonrakers and a festival is held each year in the village to celebrate the Moonrakers.

    Whenever we went to visit family in NC, they were always saying they would take us to the coast, but sadly, they never did. But it was a long drive, as they lived in the western part of the state. Unfortunately, I don't get to visit NC from the UK any more, as my family there have either passed away, or now live in other parts of the country. It's nice to see what we missed out on through your videos though! 😊

    You live near some truly wonderful coastal places. It is stunningly beautiful. Sophia is so lucky to have places like this to visit. Do you come for picnics often at the seaside? I've just done a Google Map directions from Jasper to Beaufort and nearly fell off my chair! OMG! A 12 hour drive (each way)! The maximum POSSIBLE journey in the UK mainland (Lands End, Cornwall to John O'Groats, Scotland) is only 15 hours. It kind of makes me realize how absolutely immense the USA is. I've always wanted to do a road trip across the bits of the old Route 66 you can still do (2,278 miles and two weeks to do it) but I doubt I'll ever get the chance to do it now. Wow. Two weeks to cross the USA!

    • @steveandlindsay
      @steveandlindsay  5 місяців тому +1

      Beaufort and most of the NC coast really is beautiful, but with the long drive we unfortunately don't get to the coast nearly as often as we would like. I grew up in NC so I used to be able to get down to the beach quite easily, but now it's only when we visit my family. I'd love to do the route you're talking about as well, but I'd also love to take a trip around the coast of Great Britain. I bet that would be beautiful as well and I'm guessing quite a long drive. As for the US being immense, it really is. I've drove quite a bit of this country and it's always amazing how many hours you can spend in a car and not even be halfway across. lol Thanks for watching.

      @@steveandlindsay I really hope the three of you can have a holiday in the UK soon (and I also hope that when you do come, you have decent weather - not guaranteed!). I drove through the US on one road trip: LA, San Diego, Arizona+Nevada to the Grand Canyon, Mono Lake, Death Valley, Yosemite, Las Vegas and finishing off in San Francisco. What struck me was how EMPTY US roads are compared to UK roads (except in major cities of course). It is a JOY to drive long distances in the US. The UK is SO congested! Major routes (like the North-South M6, A1 (EDIT: missed the M1) or East-West M62 (Yorkshire), M4, M5 (over to Somerset, Wales) and even the M56 into Wales end up as mile long car parks when the holiday season kicks off. If you travel outside peak times (even mid-week) then you can enjoy long UK drives. When I was a child, we used to travel at NIGHT to holiday destinations in the UK and I map-read for Dad sitting in the front passenger seat (and found it exciting). Dad used to find 'green-tunnels' on A or B roads for me (where the trees join together overhead) to keep me happy! The roads were clear of course and it was joy to travel long distances like that. It can take twice the time it should due to congestion. There are beautiful routes along the Welsh coast, southern coast, Northumberland, Scotland (most places) and across some of the national parks but be prepared for lots of other tourists! EIRE (Southern Ireland) has quiet and stunningly beautiful roads. France and Spain are much less congested than the UK and both have stunning countryside (and coasts). I'd love to see what Jasper is like (such as the main centre or parks) and what you like/dislike about it as well.
