Welcome to What Yacht To Do, a Great Loop Documentary. Today, (April 11, 2022) Rev and Sam are moving on their Great Loop Route from Roland and Mary Ann Martin Marina in Clewiston, Florida over to Hoggs anchorage in Stuart, Florida.
We are cruising around America's Great Loop for a second time and selected a 1999 Carver 504 named the Here's To Us!! as our Great Loop boat. So much goes into Great Loop planning and we share every trip with you. Welcome aboard!
Here are a few resources that we used for the trip: www.whatyachttodo.com/resources/
We started the Great Loop on May 15, 2019 and completed our Gold Loop journey on August 30, 2020. You can see our entire trip here: www.whatyachttodo.com/our-gre...
We started our second loop on September 2, 2020 and you can follow our route here: www.whatyachttodo.com/our-gre...

Capt. Sam and Admiral Rev. Every episode I watch you both impress me even more. I hope some day to be able to feel safe to make a trip such as your's. Stay Safe and ENJOY! Capt. Mike. " Rita Mae 3 "

Thanks Captain Mike 😊

This is brilliant, in several places. I will bloviate later, but this pass at 13:00 is textbook, for experienced skippers. I once had a guy doing 30, just drop his throttle and create flat water behind me, then just idle past me. I also idled. Took a few seconds. As he passed me I said on 16, "Captain, that was the most brilliant pass I have ever seen. He adjusted to starboard, throttled up, turned around and bowed. Being courteous and safe towards other boaters is our mission.

Thanks for watching and your feedback. Great to have you onboard with us 😎

Love that kinda talk, "keeping it between the sticks"! Beautiful day for the crossing. Love your cross checking techniques. "The art of a slow pass." Good talk.

I dread crossing that lake with all the stories of rocks I hear there

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

It's not so bad if you can assure that you are in the channel. Also the army corps of engineers post the water level daily on the lake.

What a great video. I get nervous when I see those locks. I have no experience at all with them, but I sure would love the opportunity to learn how to navigate my way around the Great American Loop. Thanks for the excellent video. I enjoyed it.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

So great to have you onboard with us. Check out our free newsletter on our website. Also we have four introductory courses available on www.GreatLoopAcademy.com 😎

Back in the days I was in the Coast Guard, when my Cutter had come out of a yard in Tampa Bay, the Skipper and XO looked at crossing the lake in our 95' boat, but I think the water was too low for us to make the trip so we went around the bottom of the peninsula to get back to the east coast. I kind of wished we had made that trip across the canal and lake. I am glad the trip other than the sailboat stealing the first position through the bridges went without incident.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Yes, the lake can get shallow, especially during the summer months. The Army Corps of Engineers has a gage that has the water level for Route 1 (Across the Lake) and Route 2 (the Rim or southern route). I would guess a 95' Cutter had a draft that is greater than 8', but don't know. I have always thought the USCG is one of the most diverse services and love the daring rescue videos on TV. Thanks for your service to our great country!

Your good deed for the day, updating the stale notes will be appreciated by many! Great learning segment to share, done like the pros you both have become.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Thanks Rus!

This is by far the best Great Loop channel on RU-vid! Maybe Kim Russo, you all's AGLCA Director can take some lessons Keep up the great work and stay safe. I enjoyed telling the Franklin lock master that her voice was featured on RU-vid when you guys made that passage, she got a kick out of that.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Oh, thank you for that nice compliment. We truly enjoy doing the videos and Rev does a great job as videographer in addition to her First Mate duties. We remember that lockmaster like it was yesterday! Thanks for following us.

What a great day crossing and with no depth problems. Now for an evening of planning the days ahead. Good trip and a great video. Enjoy

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it. 😎

@barbcoleus 2 года назад

How interesting! Years ago my son helped his friends father take a sailboat. I always wanted to go but this is wonderful and seeing the locks is a plus!!!!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Great to have onboard with us!

@mcmillinsfaithhomestead523 2 года назад

Love the bridge info in all your videos and history if you have it. Very interesting all the types out there

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Glad you like them! Hope all is well. 😎

@peterj2890 2 года назад

That run was always a fun trip. Living in Stuart for 40 years made that Stuart to Ft. Myers run many times. With Lake Okeechobee being shallow it can get quite rough with passing cold fronts or windy days.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Very cool voyage!

@rickdamico7146 2 года назад

Enjoyed it very much! What's "On the 2's' mean? Never heard that before.

@bobvecchi7981 2 года назад

Passing a vessel on her starboard side is passing on the one, meaning one bell. Passing on the two is passing to port, or two bells.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Thanks Bob!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

You got it! Or one Whistle or Two Whistle. Same as Bell.

For 😃

@SVSecondChance 2 года назад

I couldn't do that my mast was to talk to get under the bridges.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Yes, I think it is a 55' limit if I'm not mistaken 🤔

@SVSecondChance 2 года назад

Mine is 58 but I thought the limit was 52 I could be wrong I have never been though there with any thing other than a jon boat I use to fish with as a kid me and a friend from school would take it Down there in the summer when we were not in school. Lol

@captainkrunch6372 2 года назад

You are higher in your boat than some. So your LOS is longer.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Yes, that is true! We sit at about 12' above the waterline.

2 years college 80-82 at Florida Institute of Technology in Jensen Beach. Right there next to Stuart, the Sailfish Capitol of the World. 😂 Jack Nicholas' built golf course on south end of Hutchinson Island. Sailfish Point. Watched dump trucks carrying beds loaded with palm trees out there to line course. Benni Hahna (sp) Japanese steaks house. One of 4 in the world at the time, which might hint at money in area. Ralph Evinrude of outboard motor fame had plantation near school and kept us funded to stay open because wife Francis Langford of early movie fame had marina there and didn't want land sold for condos and mess up her marina. 110 ft yacht parked there capable of trans Atlantic crossings. Said she had temper and if mad at Ralph took it over to France for month or two.

Wow what great information you have. Thanks for sharing!
