Entering the Chesapeake Bay can be ROUGH. We waited out a gale in Hampton, VA, and did some boat maintenance while searching for a PERFECT WEATHER WINDOW. Everything was going fine until we heard a smack, opened up our hatch, and saw a river of water going into our bilge pump. It was seriously stressful, our boat was taking on water entering the Chesapeake Bay. Watch along as we are hit with more "boat life" and have to figure it out.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!
