Come along on our first solo cruise without any help! We go from North Palm Beach to Delray Beach where we are permanently docking the boat until we set off for the loop.
We rented our week-long dock in North Palm Beach here: dockshare.com

Finally something on RU-vid I'm actually interested in watching!!

When you tie to poles like that, run your lines from the boat, around the pole, then back to your boat. So you can just untie and pull your lines in.

From a comment on another channel : "Any docking you can walk away from is a Good docking. If you can reuse the boat it was a Great docking." =)

We are life long boaters and really enjoying the innocence of your show. I'm getting a great laugh at your complete lack of proper nautical terms, it's very endearing to an old salt. It's great to watch you guys figuring it all out. Most we know saved for years to be able to retire and do the loop. Our question is how are you paying for this trip at such a young age? Maybe you could do a show on introducing yourselves and what you did to be able to do the trip.

Recognized the t shirt from Joshua Tree State Park. I spent several deployments to 29 Palms for CAX. I think you did fine dealing with a new experience. The most important thing is to learn from your adventures. It takes years to learn it all and even then something can happen that you haven't planned. I love both of your attitudes. It'll take you a long way in life. I read other comments and one great recommendation is purchasing a set of "marriage savers". Eartech is one product. (Sorry if I spelt it wrong.) Semper Fi.

You should follow Scho and Jo and see their epic Great Loop adventure!! They are phenomenal!!!❤

My wife and I think what you are doing is awesome! We have been living vicariously thru folks like you on RU-vid. We want to motor our Hatteras from Baltimore to the Bahamas via the intracoastal. We are 60 so you guys have a head start. We look forward to following your adventures. Stay safe.

@grizzle251 Месяц назад

Well done, leaving the dock wasn't bad and I thought it was excellent how you both kept your cool even though I could tell you were stressed. I remember my 1st time departing from teh dock and returning in my new boat, you two did much better than I did. Keep up the good work, think before you execute a move and keep up the good communication and you will be fine.

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

Thanks for watching! Hopefully we only get better & smarter from here!

@defarmers4 Месяц назад

Y’all have such a great attitude and are open minded to learning you’ll pick it up fast. Keep doing you and don’t let the comment trolls get you down. Everyone started fresh at some point and some have never done it at all. Looking forward to the journey

@nelsonreau3842 Месяц назад

Man the rope issue was giving me anxiety. Im happy you are getting it done !!

@pamnietzel8329 Месяц назад

I absolutely love your honesty of it all! Learning is a huge part of the journey and adventure! And you both handle it with such grace and a little humor too!! 😊.

@carpediemwithLesli Месяц назад

@AdventuresofHappyOurs Месяц назад

Love that you just do what has to be done and dont argue. Great job! Looking forward to your adventures!

At 70 years, I'd rather be "Young, dumb and naive" than "Old, bold and Naive" which is what I am !! Great video !

@joshkaiser8583 Месяц назад

Definitely also recommend you get what people call marriage savers! Their headsets so you don’t have to yell to each other.

@freedomwanderer91 Месяц назад

The joy of boating. Great job.

@ampegor Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing your newbie struggles, you will,learn as you go, read lots watch RU-vid etc. Best of luck.

@johnh9888 Месяц назад

Definitely loving the the videos! Although you guys did a great job in a stressful situation, my personal experience from learning the hard way is always talk through a plan before dropping even a single line

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

Thanks for watching! We definitely learned we need to discuss a plan before dropping any lines

@johnh9888 Месяц назад

@@navigatingnietzels happy to watch and can’t wait for the next video!

@shoestringbudgetadventures3798 Месяц назад

It’s always stressful learning to operate a large expensive boat. There is so much money on the line! 😂 At least there weren’t any other expenses boats next to you while you were trying to figure out your dock lines. Keep your cool and always apologize if you act like an azz! Can’t wait to see you guys do the loop. You’re living my dream. God bless!

@joshkaiser8583 Месяц назад

I am so excited to follow yall. It’s my dream too to do the AGL. My wife and I got married at 19 and 20 and had kids right away. Our youngest daughter is in her first year of college and I’m now retired from the Coast Guard. Now the itch to go is really hitting

"Should we log engine hours?" -- Log everything. Especially maintenance related data, servicing, repairs, etc. Better to log too much than not enough.

@johnlewis6533 Месяц назад

Good Job !!

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

Thank you!

@SCFoster Месяц назад

Good job. You both have good decision making skills. Not filming at the end in favor of safety was a very good idea. And yes, the other boaters are trying to ram you.

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

Thank you!

@christophertaylor4110 Месяц назад

Love the trawler, how is the noise level inside the cabin while cruising? Can you have a conversation? The Lehman is super reliable and will last for years to come. I’m curious to the trawler lifestyle as I have a 30ft express cruiser with twin gas engines and underway it’s loud but still able to have a conversation while raising voices.

@timharrison9060 Месяц назад

you done good, anything that doesn't sink the boat is a good learning experience .... I would just like to suggest you trade in those flip flops for something else, the chance of them catching on a line or the gunwale when racing around the boat is too great... save them for relaxing and watching the sunsets..... stay safe, Tim and Cat

@mikemenard9789 Месяц назад

Your next purchase should be a good set of headphones. Makes docking much less stressful.

@FlaGolfer Месяц назад

Reminds me of my dads old 34 Marine Trader Trawler. You will find a lot of boaters are NOT courteous especially when overtaking a slow boat.

@JJP72095 Месяц назад

The shoreline for west Palm in not a no wake zone. Recheck the signs. Only no wake around marinas and manatee zone during certain periods of the year.

@leepeacock3099 Месяц назад

Nicely done and thanks for reminding me about my 1st boat and her handling (or mishandling). But I gotta know where the "wonder bar" shirt came from. Priceless. And. When do you start your actual loop now that you can float?

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

The wonder bar shirt is from Austin, TX! Funny you noticed. We are hoping to officially set off for the loop in January 2025!

@mccluremetalworks4214 Месяц назад

Found your channel,subscribe d,wondering when you plan to start the great loop?

@eternitysshore Месяц назад

Congrats on the completion of the first solo cruise! I felt your anxiety leaving the dock. We've been there ourselves quite often. Thanks for your honesty in including it. You definitely need to prioritize safety over filming. I've had to do that multiple times. It might help if you had a stationary place where you could put the Go Pro, press record and forget about it. You may already have that and perhaps you didn't have time to set it up. I'm looking forward to following your next steps. Do you have an idea on when you'd start the loop?

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

Thanks for following! We hope to start January 2025 or so

@joelovejoy7998 Месяц назад

How do you guys like living on the Europa style? I have a 36’ Tricia in and love my full aft cabin but I’m always envious of Europe’s with the huge aft doors! Do you feel cramped in your v berth?

@williamshelton9688 28 дней назад

I’m going to be sure to watch your channel….even heard of the Keystone Cops ?

@charlesdavenport2543 Месяц назад

I have friends that live in the mooring field south of the Palm Beach inlet. There's an eccentric guy who lives aboard there known as "Naked Steve". Guess you didn't see him.

@gonzof1 Месяц назад

Please take some lessons. Get a Capt. to help you learn some of the basic skills like throwing and cleating lines and how basic things like bridges work. It’s okay… we have all been there. But please get instruction before you hurt yourself or someone else.

@floathi Месяц назад

Bridges do not open on command. Most open on a schedule. Can't watch this neewby crap anymore .

@navigatingnietzels Месяц назад

Key word: most. We used the bridge schedule from offshoreblue.com & there are many listed as “opens on demand.” Of course that doesn’t mean right then at that second. Maybe you’ll be courteous & let a couple more boats catch up to you. But sorry you feel this is newbie crap. Thanks for watching though!
