Welcome to What Yacht To Do, a Great Loop Documentary. Today, (April 12, 2022) Rev and Sam are moving on their Great Loop Route from Hoggs anchorage in Stuart, Florida to Eau Gallie anchorage in Melbourne, 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...

Nice to see a courteous boater. Been boating since I was ten years old and now sixty four years later I still dream of living on a boat but time has creeped up and my dream is through others. Thanks for the journey. I am really enjoying your ride. Stay safe, happy boating.

I appreciate that you periodically give the channel marker/body numbers as you pass them. It helps me locate you on my charts. Bon voyage.

Your getting closer to us! Wish we could get another visiting day, it wasn’t long enough. Love the videos you guys!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Oh, that was a great visit! We had such a good time and are still enjoying the honey! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I bet the honey stand is busy this weekend!

@buckpowers4837 2 года назад

Another great video. Glad to see all went well and the mix with other vessels is interesting as well. That last 1000 mile mark is close I would think and I am sure the traffic is going to make some white knuckle moments. Adds to the memories.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Hi Buck, Thanks 👍 Yes, traffic is always interesting for sure!

@dougaranda6187 2 года назад

Thanks for the videos Rev! Sure have enjoyed them all. You do them in a way that makes the viewer feel like we're on the boat with you. I'm assuming you've probably crossed your wake by now. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Hi Doug, You are welcome. Glad you like them! We won't actually cross our wake until late June. We don't have a date yet, but will be sure to announce the plans in our newsletter! Rev

Hello there! Hope all is well with you. Thanks for joining us this morning. 🧡

@patfitzgerald4161 2 года назад

Hello Sam & Rev! Thanks for all of the wonderful videos of the Great Loop. I have watched every single one of your videos. Thanks to your adventure....I have now caught the Great Loop "bug" and now in the planning stages of doing this myself. Your videos are just so enjoyable to watch. How many times will you do the loop? Thanks again folks. Keep up the great videos!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Hi Pat thank you so much for the very nice comment. For now we are putting a third loop on hold and taking some time to finish some other videos and products. We hope we can be of some help to you as you get ready for an adventure of a lifetime. Sam and Rev

I used to live in Melbourne as well, very near the bridge on the mainland side. I was out of the service and went to work for the Florida Dept of Corrections as a State Probation/Parole Officer. I bounced around between the Melbourne and Cocoa offices. Are you all going to be doing another go round on the Loop?

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Hi Michael. I had a good time in that area for 3 years. No, we will not be doing a third Loop in the immediate future!

@steveprice4779 2 года назад

Thanks Rev for all your time to edit and process the videos....lots of work for sure. What program do you use?

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Hi Steve, You are welcome. I use Camtasia and here is a link to a blog I wrote on the process I use. www.whatyachttodo.com/start-a-great-loop-youtube-channel/ Have a wonderful day! Rev

@jakejacobs7584 2 года назад

Do you have to swing your compass on a time interval as in an aircraft?

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

We do not have to swing the compass, like an aircraft. It does have some inherent installation error in it due to each time electronics have been added. If we were using it solely to navigate with, I would be concerned, but with all the other electronic GPS driven aids, I don't worry with it. It is within 5 degrees on most headings.

@jakejacobs7584 2 года назад

@@WhatYachtToDo Oh yes I agree that a whiskey compass in this day and age is tantamount to ancestor worship. I never flew it but on jump seat trips on the MD-80 I was always entertained by the crews adjusting the mirrors to even see it. When I started flying they were essential as the directional gyros were very prone to presession. Thanks. My curiosity was sparked by that beautiful compass on your cockpit counter. I thought it must be a good one, it doesn't even have a correction card...😃

When we going to get a live video captain?

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

We might do a live video on Facebook as we cross our second wake in the Chesapeake this summer!

Hey Sam just a question. I just received my 25 ton Master OUPV and my wife wants to get me a t-shirt to celebrate. Would you mind telling me where you bought that t shirt? Or the maker of it?? Thanks! Stay safe!

Congratulations! Rev got it for me on Amazon. Here is a link: www.amazon.com/Captain-Happen-Shirt-Funny-Boating/dp/B07KVCBY1M Cheers, Sam
