Welcome to What Yacht To Do, a Great Loop Documentary. Today, (April 16, 2022) Rev and Sam are moving on their Great Loop Route from Rivers Edge Marina in St. Augustine, Florida over to Cumberland Island, Georgia. We stayed at the Cumberland Sound anchorage.
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.whatyachtt...
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.whatyachtt...
We started our second loop on September 2, 2020 and you can follow our route here: www.whatyachtt...

Sam and Rev, I have enjoyed every mile of both Loops. Don't sell the Boat. The LOOP is not the be-all or end-all of that type of cruising. There is Spring/Summer/Fall on Long Island Sound including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. And who can forget the Northeast Circle NYC to Maine down the St. Lawrence River to Lake Champlain, the Hudson River and back to NYC. But, whatever you decide to do, I congratulate you for creating one of the most technically informative series on RU-vid. As a Former "Coastie" Quartermaster with 100,000 miles at sea in the Arctic Ocean, Labrador Sea, North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico in the 1950's I was fascinated by the in depth look at modern Navigation technology. Bon Voyage!

I think you should have the Carver loaded on a ship or maybe a truck and brought to the Puget Sound. Spend a year or more in the Sound and the San Juan's and then do British Columbia, and Alaska including Prince William Sound.... some of the best cruising around. You won't regret it😊

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Would love to be up there! Need a Nordhaven or Nordic Tug! Beautiful places up there for sure!

I really enjoy your channel. Hope you don't sell the 'Here's To Us' ! Some time ago you mentioned doing more in the Great Lakes. So many nice places, I think that would be great !

Hi Larry, We are taking some time to decompress and decide. So great to have you onboard with us!

Nearing the end of the second loop is a great milestone. The trip still has lots of thrills and lessons. Glad you made it out of the slip with no problems and its always nice to have an extr pair of hands to help. continue on and enjoy.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Thanks Buck! 😎

Capt. Sam I was Amazed at how tight it was in the Dock. Does it help to have the thruster to get in to a Dock that tight or can just the 2 engine's do it to? You and Admiral Rev Stay Safe. Capt. Mike.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Yes, the thrusters do help and I would not have tried getting into that space if I had an inoperative thruster. It probably could be done under optimum conditions, such as high slack tide, but I was concerned about depth and did not have much margin at low slack tide. Cheers, Sam

I use to live in st Augustine when I was young, then moved to at Mary’s/cumberland island. Just found your channe.

@cumberlandquiltchic1 Год назад

I remember in the 90s there was only a draw bridge at the old bridge of lions in st Augustine. Daddy had to bide his time with the currents, waiting for the bridge to open and then get through- very narrow.40+ ft antique wooden sailboat. I wish I could remmber how long it was. It has several masts and cast iron keel - old New England sailboat Quite the currents and high tides in the parts im use to between st Augustine and mid ga

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

So great to have you on board with us! Sam & Rev

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Great memories I am sure. The currents can really rip through there!

@johnmarschalk1977 2 года назад

Do it again!!! If not, make sure you video it. Maybe a Travel bus and travel the country.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

We'll see. Ensure you are on our newsletter for the Inside Scoop!

@byronstyron3893 2 года назад

You guys sure are getting some beautiful weather to travel in. How was St. Augustine? I hear people could stay for a month in the marina's there. Maybe we'll get to see it soon. Be well and smooth water wishes to you guys.

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

St Augustine is a beautiful city and lots of history there. We had a great stay catching up with friends! 😎

@markbouchard525 2 года назад

We had to stay in Fernandina for 4 nights last fall due to bad weather. It turned out to be a great little town with enough to keep us busy! Glad we were on the inside docks as the boats on the outer dock rocked and rolled quite a bit. Luckily no smell at all ! Keep having fun !!!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Thanks Mark!

This episode was especially interesting to me because I always thought if I ever get another boat, I would want to be either in St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach or Brunswick, so I thoroughly enjoyed it! "The greatest danger in life is not to take the adventure.” George Mallory (Born on this day in 1886) And you guys are doing it twice!! Thanks for taking us along!

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

You are quite welcome Rick. Those are beautiful areas and somehow it seems the hurricanes miss them.

Never got up to Fernandina when I was in Mayport, maybe someone had mentioned the paper mill up there and that kept me away LOL I grew up in Muskegon, Mi and there was a HUGE mill there back in the 1960's. The stench made it's way all the way to the opposite end of the city

@WhatYachtToDo 2 года назад

Yes, that smell can make you gag at times when the wind is right (or wrong)!
