Today we leave Baie Fine and our world class anchorage in Mary Anne Cove to visit the biggest town in the entire North Channel, Little Current. We are sad to leave this freshwater fjord, but are very happy to have visited, the vistas are completely insane. Visiting little current, which is sometimes "a whole lotta" current, we find our first marina stay since mid-way on the Trent-Severn! Our stop in Little Current also lands us on the biggest freshwater island in the world, Manitoulin Island.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!

If you push the channel selector button down on your radio handset, it will switch to the wx or weather radio band, where you can access 10 channels. Scroll through those to get the clearest channel for your weather area. No need for wifi to access weather. Enjoy the prettiest cruising in the world!

@michelbedos9371 Год назад

Little Current sure has changed in the past 42 years. Nice to see the improvements. Brings back great memories. Bay Fine is a great anchorage but went the wind picks up you need to be well anchored and tied off to shore if you do not want to drag anchor. Sorry you did not get a chance to go to La Cloche, Some of the rocks when taped sound like a bell, hence the name in French.

@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад

We can totally see why y’all were sad to leave that area! LOVED the underwater Ollie footage! She was full on swimming 👏🏼

@SchoandJo Год назад

Thanks, y'all! I think Ollie still dreams about the North Channel 🐶

@donaldmoore6345 Год назад

Nice to see Ollie have so much fun. You guys are doing a great job with your tune selections on the videos. I get real joy watching your adventures. Keep it up and safe travels.

@tinalouisehenderson8545 Год назад

I want to say thank you so much for visiting the area I grew up in and I am so glad you enjoyed it so much. It is truly a magical place and I feel so fortunate to have grown up there. My uncle used to own the Bad River Lodge (one channel to the west of where you anchored for the rapids). Small bit of trivia, that anchorage has seen some pretty famous people over the years including Walter Cronkite, Tom Sellack and at one point most of the Dallas Cowboys Team. I spent many days fishing and boating in the very channels you explored in both Fred and while tubing. The pink rock you see in this area is Feldspar...an igneous rock with lots of potassium (what makes it pink). Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey!

@suzanneaydelotte801 Год назад

Ollie is really loving swimming…such a cutie! Enjoyed watching another day on the loop with you all!

@garynoll700 4 месяца назад

I see it looks like you have a Manson Supreme anchor. Or one that looks very similar to it, that's one of the safest anchors you can use. And I see you have a large enough one to hold you in a severe storm. Great going, hope you have a trip of a lifetime.. 🧜‍♂️❤️👌

@lukeylovestrains3151 3 месяца назад

Great video! Watched while commuting on the Toronto subway. Gives me inspiration to explore Manitoulin Island this summer (in a car!)

@tmac709 Год назад

It's beautiful up there. Ollie stole the show!

@bowmanlegacies Год назад

So cool and a retirement dream. So much to learn though. It’s really intimidating. I’ve only driven bass boats. But still so badly want to do this so learning from you guys! Thank you!!!!

@SchoandJo Год назад

Definitely a lot to learn, and that is part of the fun! If we can do it, you definitely will be able to as well!

@Jannm Год назад

We did the Loop 10 years ago. Canadian waters were the BEST part. From your videos we missed so many stops. Makes us want to do it again.

@stevengilbert6672 Год назад

I realize you are only half way through the Loop with your videos and I can't help but notice that in every one of your last six you have said thiis is "the best" or "favourite" experience or location. You have now had a great deal of time to reflect on the entire experience and my request is for you to post a video after crossing your wake has aired where you reveal your top ten or twenty places/experiences and places you would like to go back to.

@ampegor Год назад

Usually spend a night or two on those docks every summer. I am glad you got to meet Roy he is a treasure and one of the nicest people anywhere.

@carolwestermann5309 Год назад

Loved seeing Ollie swim underwater♥️

@SchoandJo Год назад

We call her the “River otter” when she does that. The mountain goat yesterday climbing the peak and the river otter swimming today!

@potoole1953 Год назад

Another great video. I noticed the addition of an underwater camera and a high flying drone...nice.

@SailingOléHop 5 месяцев назад

This is our play ground since 2022. And we still have a lot to explore.

@SchoandJo 5 месяцев назад

Nice! I'm sure you could spend a lifetime exploring the North Channel and Great Lakes 😁

@justbeingdad62 Год назад

Backing in like a pro! 👏

@christopher19791026 4 месяца назад

We stayed at the exact same slip a couple of years ago!!

@derjaeger3321 Год назад

Give me clear water, pine trees and, some rocky, post glacier terrain and I am a happy camper. Oh and add a fishing pole. You young folks are seeing what I consider is some of the truly beautiful areas, that, by the way many of our Canadian friends get to see everyday. Enjoy it.

@debs_wheels Год назад

My aunt and uncle used to spend their summers on a trawler in the Georgian Bay/North Channel. Thanks to your videos, I now understand the appeal of doing that

@vernholmes7940 Год назад

Always enjoyable and great episodes!

@soloonsound Год назад

Ollievision! Awesome.

@artmraz575 Год назад

Wow has Little Current changed last time I was there cruising with the family I was 18 I'm now 67 and trying to return hope you hit Crocker Island that was a fav :)))

@SchoandJo Год назад

Didn't hit Crocker but did hit the Benjamins! Maybe will have to hit Crocker next time 😁

@karenprice5439 Год назад

Excellent video. So pleased to see u both enjoyed 🇨🇦🇨🇦 so much. ⚓⚓

@leabee9990 Год назад

reminds me of my youth sailing in Boothbay and Rockland Maine...

@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss Год назад

Way to go on saving fuel. The swing bridge was so neat, but I’m a sucker for a cool bridge. Enjoy the Ride

@SchoandJo Год назад

Me too! Nothing like a cool bridge!

@lovingcars Год назад

Love your dog 🐕 😊

@billjeffery2419 Год назад

love little current,nice little town. was there a few years back by car,thanks for sharing

@Alcochaser Год назад

Another bridge i have been over, the road leads to a huge ship ferry on the south end of the island.

@HopeOfJoe Год назад

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice passage today. Very pretty area. ✨🌊💨🛥️🌞✨

@richardneely595 Год назад

This paradise is only 3 hours drive from my home. Getting my boat ready for Trent Severn & Rideau Canal this summer:)

Great drone footage!!

@pauljuodvirsis1433 Год назад

Love your video Been to the little current area a few times Spent quite a lot of time exploring beautiful manitoulan Island You should put manitoulan on your bucket list its beautiful

@The442nd Год назад

Baie Fine's better than 1000 Islands? That place looked spectacular

@phil2207 9 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed my backyard. Come back

@oceanrider68 Год назад

Great Drone work!!

@svechappe6075 Год назад

Missed you guys in Little Current by a week, had to get back to our home port of Charlevoix by Aug 14. Looking forward to your videos in our home waters of Little Traverse Bay and Grand Traverse Bay. We always warn the Loopers that as much as they want to maximize their time in the North Channel, doing so sets you up to battle Lake Michigan in September, which means you'll very likely get stuck in port for extended periods and have to rush your way down the Michigan shore during weather windows and skip past some cool ports in order to get to Chicago on time. Oh well, trade offs.

@dianne.simms28 Год назад

Hi guys, next time you could also listen to the CMB for the extended forecast along with the mafor , and wave heights

@jeremystairs4185 Год назад

I have been enjoying your Loop videos vicariously. I am waiting for the survey of a 1988 34' twin engine Marine Trader that is in Shediac New Brunswick, Canada. When I take possession, I will hire a captain to help me bring her up to Three Rivers and then cruise - mostly solo - up the St Lawrence and then the Trent-Severn. I would love to do the loop but for medical reasons i have to stay close to Canada. So, I'll return back down the T-S, do the Rideau Canal to Ottawa and down to Lake of Two Mountains for winter haul out. Maybe next year?

@buckpowers4837 Год назад

Canada is hard to beat for pure unvandalized scenery. They seem to take pride in their surroundings. Will be knocking on the door of the US soon and hope you can get in. Enjoy

@richardstever3242 10 месяцев назад

The mountains are made of Quartzite rather than Granite. Quartzite does not neutralize acid rain as granite does. As a result, there are dead lakes in the KIlarney area. One such lake is called Topaz Lake. It is incredibly beautiful and safe for swimming. Canadian weather reports are not as good as American reports. Many of us learn to make our own weather predictions. We also have some pretty wild stories about getting caught in storms. The south end of Beausoliel Island (the Gap) is one such place where converging waves can take you down.

@richardstever3242 10 месяцев назад

There is a shipwreck that people can check out on Georgian Bay without even getting wet. It is called the Waubuno from 1879 and is located in Massasauga Provincial Park. There is a song called Black Water to get you in the spirit. By the way...stock up on groceries in Midland or Parry Sound. Everything else is overpriced and lower quality.

@CruisingSonchaser Год назад

Ahhh, just found you guys this morning. We have the same Epropulsion. We love it and use the heck out of it! It's not fast, but it gets us there and I just love the QUIET. Where are you all now? We are in Chattanooga heading toward the Tombigbee.

@newtron1 Год назад

A wee bit of trivia. The Mars family aka Snickers Bars, M&M'S have a summer home on Manitoulin Island at Gore Bay.

@SchoandJo Год назад

Neat, thanks for sharing Peter! We kayaked near a Mars R&D facility in Chicago (coming in a future video) so it’s neat that you mention this!

@stoneygreek 11 месяцев назад

That guy in the yellow kayak was not me.

@SteveAnderson-sc7gu 2 месяца назад

I can not figure out how to view the Great Loop videos in order. What is the secret ? Thanks, D Steve Anderson

@NoCoverCharge Год назад

It’s easy when the Atlantic isn’t challenging you and while that might be great for you … you are just a sidewalk walker ..there in freshwater

@Rockribbedman Год назад

Marine radio gives continuous weather updates on the coasts. Is there no AM or marine radio where you are?

@SchoandJo Год назад

Probably was... but back then we had trouble listening to any of the Canadian stations on our radio. Typically US channels worked along with the international hailing and distress one!

@andrewjackson5127 3 месяца назад

Starlink? Carry your Wi-Fi with you.

@SchoandJo 2 месяца назад

Love starlink! Got it just after Canada though, unfortunately.

@TWENTYB 6 месяцев назад

Curious, what is the Max draft and height a boat can be to make this kind of trip?

@SchoandJo 6 месяцев назад

There is no official max draft, but you'll want less than 5 feet and the max height is 19' 6"! We wrote a blog post about it here, if you're interested: schoandjo.com/great-loop-boats/

@Flattopk2 Год назад

What weather app? IOS?

@helimx Год назад

We are in our boat search phase, with plans to do the loop next year. My work schedule is 3 weeks on, 3 off. Do you think it's feasible to do the loop with that schedule? I would be off the boat for 3 weeks at a time, with my wife staying on board while I travel for work. Are there enough marinas, anchorages, etc that would allow our boat to stay for 3 weeks at a time on the loop???

@SchoandJo Год назад

I think that could be possible… we met a couple that had a similar schedule, they’d make miles and then stop in a location while they traveled for work, rinse and repeat. Go for it!! 💪

@helimx Год назад

@@SchoandJo at fuel stops on the loop are there usually employees at the docks to help? My concern is full black water, and empty fresh while I'm gone, which would have my wife driving the boat solo

@SchoandJo Год назад

There are still options for that - before you leave you could refill water and get pumped. 1 person on our boat could have around 3 weeks of water / sewage. Another option is to go composting toilet, where you don't need a pumpout, and along with full tanks, keeping 6 gallon refillable water jugs so your partner can fill up when taking the dinghy to shore. In the Keys they also have a pumpout boat that comes to you, so you wouldn't have to worry about sewage in that region at least. If you are at a marina then they have both water and bathrooms so no worries!

@karikarr6377 Год назад

Just curious - did you need passports to enter Canada by boat, or is an enhanced driver’s license acceptable? I’m finding some conflicting information online.

@phil2207 9 месяцев назад

Get a passport. Lol
