    Yes, indeed Air Shows over water are extra special. We used to go from the Rochester NY area to Toronto Island every year for the Canadian National Exhibition. We anchored off the Exhibition grounds directly in the flight path. This was back when I was taking 35mm slides. It will be interesting to dig them out again! Great trip segment on America's Great Loop. Hooray, Anchor Girl, saves time, no deploying bumpers and tying lines.

      Ah 35mm! Yes, anchoring has become more frequent and enjoyable 😎

    We boat in that area a lot. We have spent many nights on Spectre Island. Love to see the military planes take off and land at Hurlbert Field. Beautiful spot.

    Can I come along your next trip and wash window and mop the deck? Lol 😝

    My daughter and her husband were there at Fort Walton. The beaches are amazing. They spent 2 years there with the Airforce. The were happy to get back to Eastern Washington and Fairchild AFB where we don't have that horrible humidity in the summer😎

      Great area but has been hard hit with hurricanes. We love traveling through it. GO USAF! 😎

    While sailing I rarely had the radio on. It drains the battery, it's below deck at the nav station unless I have a handheld, and there is rarely any reason to talk to anyone. If on an offshore race we would have it on to monitor the officials and in case anyone got into trouble.

    AWESOME!! This was one of your best videos by far! As a former sailor I must say in my boats I always had the vhf hand held and remote turned way up in the cockpit. Sailing in San Diego Bay it was necessary because of all the military ship traffic. Having said that, I must agree that most sailors are kind of laid back and casual and, of course, enjoying the wind in their face! Thanks guys!

      Thanks Rick! Wish we had more of the anchoring part, but will do better on the final run up the east coast!

    Great trip today. Lots of open water now and things seem pretty distant. Hope the anchoring goes well and we get closer to to the crossing. Enjoy

    You all cruised through my home waters in this video. My wife and I are starting to talk about buying a motor yacht to do the loop once we retire. My home port is Sherman Cove Marina which is located right at the land cut you went through just west of Pensacola Pass.

    Oddly enough, here's a question I hadn't considered until now...do you have a airplane also?
    On the hard Ed.

      No airplane currently! Flown about 40 different types but have not owned one yet!
