Love the new intro and especially the addition of the map with your location! I’m on a serious Scho & Jo binge trying to catch up to present day! Hope you all are well!
Hi guys. Well, you guys inspired me to get a boat. She’s a oldie. 1975 Albin 25.. she needs some lovins and a little rubbing…. I’m not quite ready for my loop adventure. But It won’t be too much longer.
Enjoying your videos. Ironically we were in Newfound Harbor the same night as you. We were on a Beneteau Swift Trawler and you can see us anchored in the background at 1:22. Newfound Harbor is one of our favorites.
Spent the last two winters living-aboard our sailboat at Bahia Honda. The State park has a program that in exchange for 24hours/week of volunteer work we got a tie up with power and water for three months in the NOOA basin adjacent to the main marina. We took the position during the COVID winter and liked the place so much we retuned this winter.
Smart to have hand signals sorted out for anchoring. As for beam seas sometimes you just have to tack/zigzag to get a comfortable ride by changing you angle to the seas. I think you mentioned this in a prior video. If not we'll that's my tip for the day🙂
Best marina on the East Coast is in Oriental North Carolina, River Dunes Marina. The swimming pool, hot tubs, and the steam showers are just a few reasons you need to stop. We always stop on our way back to SC to rest and enjoy all of their amenities.
@@SchoandJo yeah free is good, but if you are in the area and you need to do laundry, provision, and just relax for a few days this place is like a resort. only 2.25 ft.
A suggestion for all your stops to come: Include an image of the location(s) your video is presenting. Always helps to have a pic and offers a geographic context for the viewer. That's doubly true when the direction of anticipated weather is mentioned in the story.
As a kid growing up in South Florida, we camped at Bahia Honda every summer. Great place! I have wanted to revisit by boat but the stated controlling depth is 3.5ft which would be too shallow. What did you see when you were there ?
Not that it's real important but Bahia Hinda is pronounced BA HEE YA HONDA. I'm old enough to remember driving south over the old bridge in a motor home and swapping side view mirrors with another RV headed north!
Hope these new fuel prices are not going to put a crimp in your cruising plans. It seems like the only thing for certain these last couple of years is that it will get worse before it gets better.
