- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- We are running on the outside to Carrabelle, FL. We are enjoying a pretty decent sea state in the Gulf today. Some tricky navigation around Cape St George and a little trouble at the dock. It turns out Carrabelle is a great little town!

I live in Carrabelle and have loved it from the beginning
Come on back to the neighborhood when you can. Smooth water and good weather on your journeys. Be safe & God Bless!!!! Tom in Dothan, Alabama.
Thank you Tom! I have a feeling we will be back :)
@@cruisingandromeda sounds good! be safe always!!!
I've been watching a couple of sailing channels the last 3-4yrs, however I picked up on yours while you traveled thru Ky. The content is refreshing and interesting.....much less "child like" drama. I'm an electronics/mechanical gear head and love watching the problem solving experiences. I find the satisfaction of a well tuned rig, quite soothing to hear and watch.
Thank you very much for the entertainment.
Thank you Earnie! That is very kind of you, we really appreciate that. Thank you very much for following along, we are glad you enjoy it! Thank you! Best to you!
Hello! Glad that fog bank wasn't as scary as it looked, and you made it in safely. I'm going to check out what Dog island is, looked cool. Looking forward to the next leg 😀
Thank you so much! We appreciate you :)
Great to see you both continuing on your journey and I hope you have calm winds and flat seas. The view from the bridge is always great. looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Darryl! We appreciate your support! :)
Thanks again for a great video....nice to see everything is going well now after the hiccup befor. Take care and be safe. 🍻🍻🍻💙🦘
Thank you Mark! :)
Good to see the Gulf was behaving itself for your departure from PC. Y'all deserve more passages like this one!
Thank you Dr. John! :)
I stumbled on your channel a couple weeks ago and binge-watched until I was caught up. Glad to be along on this adventure! Feeling inspired.
Thank you for joining us Cory! This has been quite the adventure, and (spoiler alert) The best is yet to come! :)
Good job getting to Carrablle captain! Docking sideways creates memories!😊
Today, we were the show! lol Thank you for watching :)
I'm really loving the channel. My first video was the one where the damage occurred. Been watching and enjoying since. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you for joining us Kenneth! We appreciate your support! :)
So glad you made it to Carrabelle looking forward to seeing the next leg.
Thank you Fred! :)
Nice leg ! Stay safe 🙏 The Adventure Continues 💪
Thank you so much! The adventure continues :)
4:43 Apalachicola- such a fun word to say, lol. I have been waiting for this segment, after hearing how it went when we met up in Wilmington. I am so glad she is running great. Hammer Down Friends ❤
HAHAHA! Thank you so much! Cant wait to meet up on the water some day soon! :)
Harry's bar is a great place, they have food and drink. Love this area spent many winters there in our tiffin m.h.
Thank you Bob! We really liked it here. Everyone was so nice!
PC to Carreabelle along that cost of Florida is where we love to take a day trip to. We're not but 2 hrs to Port St Joe. To me thats the best part of Florida. I see Tom from Dothan made a post, and I'm 29 miles from there and it looks like we're both glad yall are enjoying this part of our neighborhood. Thank you and be safe on the water.
Thanks David! We are already making plans to get back down your way and spend much more time cruising exploring the area. Such a great place, and so many great people we met. You live in a beautiful part of the world! Thanks for the comment and thank you for following along with us! Best to you!
Glad you had a safe trip. It’s always something and you’re not alone with boat gremlins. Went out yesterday for a couple hour cruise half way started seeing steam engine temp normal 30 seconds later alarms going off and over heating. Gremlin shut my seacock off after an hour???
Zip tied that bugger open. Headed home to replace impeller that I put in a month ago….. your not alone.
Ugh! It is crazy how these things happen on boats. I hope you were limited to just the impeller and caught it in time. Great idea on the zip tie. Thanks for the great comment Matt. We appreciate that and thank you for following along with us!
We are so glad that you guys are on the road again . We are also on the loop and would love to me up . Where are y’all real time?
Hello! Today we are in Rogers City Michigan, on Lake Huron. Probably 2 days from crossing our wake! Depending on where you are, if you still need to come through Michigan, look us up in Ludington! We are on nebo, or msg us :) Thank you for watching! Happy Looping :)
Always was and still am a big fan of the 480 DB over the 50/52 DB. QSM11 motors was a deterrent however. You may want to check your fuel burn at 1900 rpms. According to Seaboard Marine. If you are too high at that rpm the exhaust manifolds will have issues which the M11's are known for.
This is great info! Thank you! I will definitely be checking in to that. I have heard that about the M11's before. Worth digging in to again! Thank you for the great comment and for following along!
You're cutting a bit close with your draft. Maybe not as close as you stated. Did you consider the depth of your transducer when stating your depth? Fortunately the actual depth is deeper than your plotters readings.
If your want to have your route in deeper water consider the following:Before autorouting on Navionics. Preset your boats depth on Navionics to 8 feet.
The autoroute will now take you through a deeper water route
Need to be a little careful when backing at that marina
Low tide your props might be in the mud!
Thank you Daniel! That is good advice and that is how we have Navionics set up. The auto route was correct based on the chart and those settings. But the current shoaling was not on the chart. We just went very very slow. Thanks for the great comment! Thank you for watching!
You are more willing to run outside than most of the channels I watch. Actually, think you prefer it sometimes! Do you think you would have followed the GICW if you didn't have the issues and are now trying to make up time?
Great question John! We like running on the outside better. It reminds us of Lake Michigan back home. Of course the weather/waves make the difference, but not having to do constant course corrections, change speeds, wait for bridges, watch for reckless boaters etc. etc...to us it is just more enjoyable to be in big open water. Peaceful. Thank you for the comment and for following along John! Best to you!
Holy crap... 52 gph at 24 mph.. I'll quit complaining at my 40gph doing 22mph....
Hahaha! Yes Simon....We don't even like thinking about fuel burn! Yuk! It is cost of doing our loop, our way. Thank you for following along with us! :)
I have a question being a non-boater but whishing I was a boater...what will your position be when hurricane season starts in a month or so? Great to see all things going well.
Thanks Larry! We hope to be done with our Great Loop and back in Michigan by hurricane season. Great question. Thanks for following along with us Larry! All the best you!
After your catastrophe hitting that submerged whatever, why in the world would you cut your course so close to the cape in such shallow water? Makes no sense.
Thanks Mike. Great question. The whole thing makes no sense....life makes no sense....do you need everything, even in someone else's life to make sense? Or just you own? Live a little..... Things happen, we're fine, it worked out, so I guess it makes sense now. Thanks for watching!
Hard to believe this guy has already had one catastrophic grounding and is happy about taking his boat on plane thru 4-5 foot water. Just plain crazy. Zero reason to do that.
Hey Pete...It wasn't that bad....don't be so delicate and nervous. Next trip we will wrap the boat in bubble wrap and fuzzy feelings just for you!
@@cruisingandromeda You are missing the point, and the ability to read a chart and navigate properly. Im not delicate or nervous. I just think you did something very foolish.
