Have you ever wondered if you could cruise your boat from Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, etc., to Florida? This is the route to take! Watch as we cruise from Alabama to the Gulf of Mexico on a Jefferson motor yacht.

I envy you and your wife on these journeys. I'd love to be there with ya'll. Keep up the good work.

Love the time lapses through the locks!

I really like your videos. I like that you show the scenery and don't keep the camera on your face the whole time. Great job!

@CruisingSonchaser 3 месяца назад

Thank you! We should have a new video coming out soon of our trip from the Tombigbee to the Gulf and throughout Florida. We are currently in Key West!

We’ll be getting a new one out soon as we made it to Florida back in November and have been cruising everywhere. Heading to the Keys now.

To address the Mayflies and fishing. The Mayflies are actually bad for fishing. The fish eat the Mayflies as they fly up from the bottom mud and they are plentiful. So the fish are full and the bite really sucks during the Mayfly hatch.

I see you have a Great Loop Burgee so is this another loop trip ? Some of the locks I’ve been through have slime on the walls and it would get on my fenders. I started wrapping them with a trash bag when going through a lock. I lived in Tennessee for 36 years and rain and thunderstorms in April to early May is normal. They are often accompanied by tornadoes so keep check on weather advisories. I’ve road through two tornadoes at the marina I’m at in Nashville one in 2017 totally destroyed my dock and I was own my boat. Got lucky with minimal damage on my boat. Love your videos.

Hello, fellow looper. We also have our boat at Kingfisher. We are in the Carver 404 on the B dock. We live in Texas and drive back and forth to the boat. We will be leaving to head south sometime after the first of the year. Kay and Greg

Hello! We are on C dock over by Stella. We will look for you all. We will be watching the hurricane forecasts closely as we need to be in Daytona beach Halifax, harbor by Thanksgiving.

@@kfritsche585 we are heading to Florida by car for business through Labor Day. Then back to the boat to clean it and then they will haul it out at the end of Sep for Florida Bow to install bow thrusters. Sorry to miss you all!

It’s so fun to see areas we explored by land when we were traveling full time in our Rv. We were in Red Bay, Alabama and went through Iuca and Florence to name a couple on our day trips exploring. Now that we are preparing for our next adventure of the Great Loop we are excited to see these same areas by water.

Wow, that's a lot of mayflies. And that's a lot of subscribers! Great video you two. Compliments to the editor.

@CruisingSonchaser 10 месяцев назад

Thanks man!!!! Hopefully we will have lots of blue water videos soon if we can steer clear of hurricanes! Blessings to you all!

@MarkandMel 6 месяцев назад

Great video of that lock that lifts you up so high! We totally got rained on! We didn't see any may flies, but maybe because we came down in November.😊

@CruisingSonchaser 6 месяцев назад

Hey guys! Thanks so much! We crossed from Carabelle in November, went to Clearwater, Bradenton, Captiva, and then across Okachobee and up the east coast to Daytona to be with family for Thanksgiving. We are currently home in Nashville for Christmas but the boat is at Halifax Harbor there in Daytona awaiting our return. We are going back to her mid January, then drive over to the Looper Rendezvous and then cruise back south to the Keys and Bahamas for the winter. What’s your plans?

@MarkandMel 6 месяцев назад

@CruisingSonchaser wow! You passed us and went forward alot LOL. We will probably stay at this pace and be in the Keys as long as possible this winter. We're looking forward to Carolinas by Spring.

@CruisingSonchaser 6 месяцев назад

If the may flies are out the rods need to be wet. Usually the best fishing of the year on the Altamaha river

Do you guys ever show the inside of your boat as you travel?

@luvndana 2 месяца назад

I enjoyed the video.Thank you for the view.. I have an inquiry and the reason I came across your video. Did you maintain a cost for the river travel What was the cost to go through all those locks .? I'm looking at a Sailboat in tennessee which would be simpler to transport south Along the waterwaste and down into the tom bigbee.

@luvndana 2 месяца назад

Is trying to calculate if it's worth the trouble...lol

@billydaniel900 5 месяцев назад

Do you guys remember how long it took you to get from Florence to Mobile?.And your average speed.

@CruisingSonchaser 5 месяцев назад

We are in Daytona Beach now. Let's see if I can remember. we went from Florence to Iuka, MS. Then to Midway, then Columbus, then to anchorage, then Demopolis, then two more anchorages, so 12 locks on the TomBigbee and about 7 cruising days at about 10 mph. It's a slow got because you just never know how long you will wait at each lock. the final lock, we waited 2 hours. Some days you have 4 locks to go through. It's a nice trip though.

@kfritsche585 10 месяцев назад

We can let you know when we will be there next, won't be long.

@CruisingSonchaser 10 месяцев назад

We live in Franklin, TN and also drive back and forth. I wish it was closer! Let me know how dirty my boat is. It's been two weeks since we were there last.

From the big city of Franklin, TN! LOL! A lifetime of boating but most ski boats, cuddly cabins and pontoons. Now we’re just slow pokes plowing along watching deer, turkeys, grouse, wild pigs and all kinds of flying and swimming nature along the way. Thanks for stopping in and God Bless!
