This morning we are checking on some repairs we did in our last episode before we fuel up and head south via the Gulf. We are spending most of the day dodging crab pots and trying to make safe harbor by dark, it is another beautiful day on the Gulf of Mexico

You two do you…. Don’t worry about what anyone says. As long as you are happy.. nothing else matters. Safe travels

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you for that! Everyone's situation is so different, but we are so glad we went now, even if we did have to rush through some beautiful spots. We will be back :)

@mccluremetalworks4214 3 месяца назад

I'm sure you have checked,but I would make sure there is no alignment issue with the alternator, looks like alot of belt dust on the engine from the previous belt,short straight edge or string should suffice,see if they are aligned

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this! We will have this checked out. It does seem to have a lot of dust. We appreciate you!

@jimpaddock7745 3 месяца назад

Belts break when they are too tight also. Check to see if you have not over tightened your belt

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you! We will have this checked now that we are back. Thank you so much!

Looks like Andromeda is performing well so I’m assuming all the repairs were done correctly cheers enjoying your travels

@karikarr6377 3 месяца назад

Great fun to be out cruising on the gulf with you, especially when you’re paying the fuel bill. 😂 I do wish to register a complaint that there wasn’t much of Ollie in this episode, though.

@steveng.6845 13 дней назад

I’ve heard several times, everyone’s loop is different. Don’t worry about what people think about your loop.

@cruisingandromeda 10 дней назад

You are absolutely correct! We hoped by sharing our thoughts it would encourage others to do it their way :) Thank you for joining us!

Love the enclosed fly bridge on Andromeda! Seems uncommon when I look at listings for 40ft boats.

Great great video. I love how your bypassing Florida I really would like to do your route so interesting. Keep it up. Enjoy watching it. I know you’re probably all the way back home in Michigan by now but it’s been a pleasure watching all your videos. Take care great travel.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much Fred! We did cross our wake a few weeks ago, but we will keep posting the trip videos as we get them finished! Thank you for joining us! :)

Your right about the ICW lots of traffic way too many idiots who have no business pioleting boats. But their is a certain charm it's amazing how much wealth you see in miles and miles of nothing but mukti million dollar homes

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you for watching Dave. I was surprised how much I preferred the open Ocean! I (Kathy) thought that would be my downfall, but there was so much peace and beauty to it! :)

Crab Pods? Maybe crab traps people have to make a living.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Absolutely!!! We completely agree, and love crab by the way. I just can't imagine how many get run over and lost. That is an extra expense for the fishermen. We luckily never hit one, but some were really hard to see. Thank you for watching :)

@bobt1931 3 месяца назад

Curious if you considered taking the Caloosahatchee River from Ft. Myers through Lake Okeechobee to Stuart to save miles, fuel and time to get to the Bahamas rather than around the Keys.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Hello! Great question! We did consider it, but we heard from a few cruisers that there were some shallow spots, and that you had to go slow....We wanted to lesson the chance of us running aground and knew we were going to hammer down and it would be faster in the long run. Thank you for joining us! :)

@mattwilliams3101 3 месяца назад

You guys aren’t chasing your dream. You’re running it down like it owes you money!! Keep rocking it out until you get there!

How much fuel to fill her up?

Hello! Our tanks hold a total of 510 gallons. :)

Wow! How wild! We just dropped a video ofnour stay at Marco Island also lol. We anchored in Smokehouse Bay. We had such a beautiful night there! ❤ Wishes for continued safe travels!🛥😘

More good sea conditions! Hope y'all have some great Jimmy Buffett tunes on the box to keep you company on those all day cruises. Good luck with spending some quality time in the Bahamas before hurricane season gets revved up.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Every day is a great day for Jimmy :)

@josecarlosalvareztobar9579 3 месяца назад

It's certainly a pleasure to see the Sea Ray 480 sailing at 22 knots, but 48 gallons an hour... I know you want to be in the Bahamas as soon as possible, but traveling that beautiful coast at 170 miles a day seems very stressful and paying a few extra $$$$. From the point of view of the state of the sea you cannot complain. It looks like a bathtub. Well, I hope for more relaxing days for you. A pleasure to see you.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you for joining us Jose! It wasn't the best financial decision, but after being out for so long, we wanted to get to the Bahamas so we could relax for about 6 weeks and just cruise. We are on a bit of a time crunch, as we aren't fully retired and have to get back home. But next trip, we can slow down and can revisit places we missed. There is just so much to see! :)

@jimb4033 3 месяца назад

What a small treat to see MV Dawn Watch in your video around minute 3:53. We were heading north after completing our loop. I went back to watch your video of the long repair process after the river accident. Glad you got through that and are carrying on.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

That is awesome!!! Thank you for joining us :) Congratulations on crossing your wake!

@ralphholiman7401 3 месяца назад

Next time, try anchoring in Smokehouse Bay. That's our favorite anchorage in Marco Island. There is a Winn Dixie with a dinghy dock there.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you Ralph! I saved this in my notes for next time :)

@BrianStDenis-pj1tq 3 месяца назад

So fun to watch. I was thinking the last few days, zooming by the gulf gives you even more reason to come back. Can't wait for the next video(s)!

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you Brian! That was exactly what we kept saying! Now we have a better idea of where we WANT to go! We missed a lot, but no regrets! Thank you for joining us! :)

@David-Indy 3 месяца назад

Well deserved day or two at "rest ". Several days of 8+ hours on a boat are brutal no matter how calm the seas. Do I hear cocktails in your future? Stay safe.

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

YES to the docktails!! Thank you for joining us! :)

@deanbone6790 3 месяца назад

I am with you...get to the Bahamas! I had an audit client there and spent most of a winter in Nassau a few years ago. So much fun! Usually when you travel to an audit client you work 60-70 hours per week, however they see things differently down there. It gets done when it gets done. No rushing so I enjoyed the slower pace of waiting for them to get things ready for me and worked at their speed and it was nice. Everything got completed, I enjoyed the island life and everyone was happy. How did we get it so wrong in the states?

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you Dean! We are DEFINITELY going back! 6 weeks wasn't long enough :)

Nice video. What are you using to make your maps?

@cruisingandromeda 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much! Bob uses Google maps and the movement is made through Davinci Resolve which is an editing software. Bob said there are lots of you tube tutorials on how to use it. Thank you for joining us! :)
