Rough Waters on the ICW and Albemarle Sound E152 

Nice video 👍👍 see ya on the next one 🙋

I love finding these older videos to fill the space between your new releases. Hope to see ya tonight on your 1/1/24 Live. Cheers and Enjoy the Ride, Bell.

Beautifullllllll Video 👏👏👏

This was one of your best reports.

A lot of rain in this video. Nice Edit on this one! CHEERS!

Thanks for the ride along , sometimes a nice free fresh water rinsing off from above is not a bad thing. Nice edit and nice clip thanks again. Our boat is still on the hard as the water is still hard here also.lol.but ice is fixing to melt out soon. You allow us to enjoy boating from afar.

Very relaxing video and music...well done!

Nice to see areas I've been through. Enjoyed this.

I love it. We stayed at the inn/marina in Oriental on the way down, after Okracoke. We came down the Dismal Swamp Canal instead of the Virginia cut, but our draft is only 3.5 and a much smaller boat. We are in Clarence Town, heading to Mayaguana tomorrow night. Thanks for the great video!

Wow, great video. Makes me want to go boating.

Ed I am proud of you! You pronounced Norfolk Correctly! 😁😁😁, if your boat had feelings it would be said to be so close to it’s place of the keel laying being on Neuse river. You are in my back yard where I grew up on ICW in Chesapeake. 😁🛫

And we'll have fun, fun, fun till the bottle runs dry again!

Good stuff... Thank you for sharing.

Lovely!

You guys living wonderful life Stay together stay safe guys Love you guys

Great music

Excellent excellent music skipper!

Loved the video. I grew up near Belhaven and run these waters often. Glad you enjoyed your passage.

Man I love your videos. Its so beautiful to see. Looks like a great way to live.

Love your videos

Nice. I particularly enjoyed this episode because it was a little different in that it focused on the beauty of the area you were cruising through without in-town hustle and bustle. Rain - it happens, and that’s when you nap or repair something and make a warm soup. Anchoring instead of restaurants. It reminded me of the self sufficient aspect of yachting where you make the party in your own floating home and enjoy it on its own. Dinner looked spectacular. Don’t get me wrong…. I love good restaurants and a lively night out for sure, but dinner in with no one around is one of the best parts of boating sometimes, I think. And big bonus…. not one, but Two Rogers Outs!! Sweeeet!! And it seems like your videography is getting even better. Very enjoyable to watch and live vicariously. Glad you are sharing it with us.

The Mayor of Eastown is an excellent watch. Easy to binge watch for sure

great vid.. glad to see windlass working good.

Good video! On one of your trips stop into Edenton , Nc , don’t forget Elizabeth City.

Huge improvement over your previous videos. Excellent work! Keep up the great videos!

I love the story. We're changing from cruising sail to cruising power.

Awesome

I enjoyed the video immensely! Cedar Point and Swansboro are my stomping grounds. Maybe I will see you ride by the house one year. Best wishes! 🙏

Wow it looks like there is a good cook aboard.

Nice video and music!

9:02 to 11:17 was breathtakingly beautiful and the music was flawless. I know you were on the ICW but where exactly was that footage taken? The music was so appropriate for that segment. Someone did a beautiful job of editing. So nice to see you are getting so much use out of your beautiful Hatteras. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

My son is Assistant Director of that show Colton______!

It looks like you work well together.👍

Dude, you always look like you are fighting the wheel, really working it….

Now your really in my (current) stomping ground! Great video. Another good marina to visit is River Dunes just past Oriental. I visit both Oriental Marina & Inn and River Dunes marina once or twice per year. Our boating clubs (Pamlico Sail & Power Squadron and the Cypress Landing Yacht Club) are planning to anchor out almost exactly where you did on the Alligator River later in the 2022 season. Very nice to see your video covering that anchorage. BTW - we locals pronounce it Pam-li-co (not Pamleeco); sorry not sure how to type the pronunciation, lol.

Awesome vedio

Man, talk about ''livin' the dream''.

U remind me of my conflicts with conflicts of 8am to 6pm of work ..if got a 40ft sailboat not have width of boat u have but save alot on fuel..even if motoring..

I wished you filmed coming out of the Alligator River into the Sound, especially since it was rough. That is a very tricky spot with sandbags. I would like to see you navigate it. Maybe on the way back?

Lovely vlog, cruising up the ICW - don’t go producing a wake now. 😀 Take it easy and stay safe.

Fight that wheel, almost seems you over correct.

We rode out a hurricane in Belhaven, NC. It is a friendly small town. You should stop there on your next trip. I think you would like it.

why do you keep turning the wheel

Have you ever considered installing a larger rudder to reduce the huge steering changes you have to apply?

Hey captain how you doing. love your videos! I always wonder why you are correcting your steering so much in the ICW? steering leaking? rudders not straight? Too much current? I thought it's pretty much straight on the ICW.

Got a question for you guys. At timestamp 4:35, have u guys thought about redoing all the cushions around the table? Reason I ask is because that cloth looks worn smooth out and plus it probably takes them forever to dry out once they are wet. They have so many different options that you can choose from now a days! Plus it would update the look of that area of your boat tremendously!! Love your channel and keep up the amazing work…..Mark from Grand Lake, Oklahoma!! P.S. timestamp 5:35-5:44 I absolutely LOVED that footage of your wake just disappearing into the distance!!!!

Drinking Bad Bitch Rum on the Alligator River. Good times.

River Dunes is another option. Great spot, great staff, great restaurant! (Not a sponsor!)

Hi there, I don't often comment but I always like and am subscribed. However I gotta ask - why do you always have to fiddle with the wheel? Is there an issue with the boat that causes you to continually adjust left then right. I've been on many boats and have never had to do this. Is it something to do with Hatteras yachts? Don't they make way properly in a straight line? Is it current/water distrubance from other boats? The corridoor you are following can't be that wavy? Apologies I don't mean this in a dissapproving way, just curious. I really enjoy your videos. The ICW/Loop is on my bucket list (with of course a trip over to the bahamas). Thank you for your videos

I gotta ask why do you have to turn the wheel so much? I turn mine maybe half a turn every 30 sec on a tight river to maintain a straight heading.

Its mad how peoples concept of rough waters are... when I am on an offshore vessel in 12m swells

Does your vessel waddle under steerage. You seem to be continually adjusting from port starboard and back?

Do you always use both engines, or sometimes only one (to save on gas),and both for maneuvering?

Hey Lynn, what’s the song that’s playing at 11 minutes. That’s a touching song for me.

Hi Ok i got to ASK wont your Boat steer straight as I'm always seeing you make massive turns on the wheel is some thing not right with the steering ?

Captain you are constantly fighting to keep that vessel on course did you ever think of maybe getting a rudder alignment on your steering system it seems like that boat does not track well at all please quote me if I am wrong. Love the videos 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Such a nice vibe cooking dinner on the hook with a nice sunset, what's your preferred beverage with a good steak? I have to be honest, my partner is from Argentina so it has to be a decent Malbec for me🍷🍷 Cheers!

Love to read the comments! Also get a laugh at folks asking the same question 49 times! Cut and paste answer: 5 degrees on top, 10 degrees below! We're working on it. Love the tint in that water.

When the liquor falls out of the liquor cabinet I’m ready to fight lol

Love your videos.. Would love to live on a boat, but don't think my $$ will let me. The costs of slips, gas and maintaining in your break down budget helps me understand... Thanks again and Safe Travels.

Livin the dream. What’s the song at the end?

Question! You seem to turn the helm an inordinate amount of times!! Does the hatteras not track well?

Sportfisher's (Speed fisher's) are always in a hurry! Nice prime rib

You better thank that wife for such a fine meal!

Love Watching You Guys! You Both Are So Lucky To Do What You Do/I’ve Just Started Viewing These You Tube Videos/ I Would Luv To Be Able To Travel Up & Down East Coast,I Love Water & My Dream Is To Live In A Beach House On The Coast :-) Have To Wait To Hit The Lottery On That One :) I Don’t Mean No Harm But Your Background Music Is A Bit Loud,I’m Just Saying :-| Thanks For Sharing NC USA

What are the names of the background songs?

What are you doing with the helm?

I had the shrimp scampi at Clawsons last weekend and it actually was better than sex.

where is the rough water?

Hello

Roger out ,,,,,

I had a cigarette boo do that to me passing at a high speed and he was laughing as he was going by and I had my old aunt on the boat and she got really sick, assholes

Fuel costs got to be killing you

Its pronounced "Pam-Licko
