Our first day venturing into the Georgian Bay already has us HOOKED. The small craft channel is absolutely stunning, with millions of history all around you. The cottages are unique and our anchorage in Echo Bay, inside of Massasauga Provincial Park is everything we have been looking forward to.
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!

Thanks Mike 💪

@robertrogers2818 Год назад

Met you at the Looperpalooza in Ft Myers, looks like the fun continues. My wife hated the spiders also and when we boated in the Great Lakes she would attach the Bounce dryer softeners to the lines when at the docks and this seemed to alleviate the spiders coming aboard. Could be all psychological but seemed to make her happy. Elliot is starting to sound like a Canadian, eh.

@nickgooderham2389 Год назад

Looks like a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver at 13:05. We call this type of aircraft a "bush plane" as it was designed to land on small lakes to supply remote bush camps. The Beaver is arguably the best bush plane ever built.

@denniscolleen Год назад

So cool to view our home cruising grounds through your perspective. We take for granted the beauty of Georgian Bay but you remind us of what a great place it is. It looks like you anchored in Echo Bay North. I've never had the guts to go through the entrance as it has been inaccessible through the low water years. We have always just headed to Echo Bay South. You've inspired me to check it out this year. Great video production as always.

You reminded me why I don’t venture into Echo Bay as a solo sailor with lots of draft. Georgian Bay has big rocks and big spiders. Thanks for the tour. 🇨🇦

@michelbedos9371 Год назад

When we boated in the Georgian Bay, Sans Souci Island only had the restaurant Chez Henri. I used to talk to him in French and given I help them put out the fire on the island, got him to go to the hospital in Perry Sound to treat the large open wound on his leg, we were always welcome and did not have to make a reservation. Great fish! I cannot believe how many boats there are now. 42 years ago we just about had the place to ourselves. One rule was important, get out of the Northern part of the Bay and the North Channel by the beginning of August. Notice how the trees are bent, that is due to the winds.

@SchoandJo Год назад

What a great story, and a fantastic deed! We ended up leaving the North Channel around the last week of August and it was perfect. Every year is different!

@michelbedos9371 Год назад

@@SchoandJo I guess things have changed.

@lonestaradventures8838 5 месяцев назад

We have sailed through there as late as mid sept. So nice. Water is still warm in the bays and almost no one around. I envied the sailors who are based in the north channel towns..they can go early or late into all the amazing anchorages..nice video Echo bay is one of our favorites

We were anchored just east of Killarney that day. The weather was gorgeous but I know you have some rain coming. Can't wait till I see your time in the north channel - spend all our summers on that water.

@erinleblanc2694 Год назад

Welcome to our cruising grounds. We go to beausoleil and frying pan all the time, about 40 minutes from our marina at “trawler speed”. So many beautiful little bays all along the small craft channel. No issue for our 41’. Glad you enjoyed it!

That was a great video. The great lakes are best swimming is August Sept and even October because it takes them awhile to warm up.

Another TRIPPING doc to watch is The Bruce - the shores of SW Georgian Bay. The latest is land related (Train 185), which is also excellent.

@IamSpectre2020 Год назад

To boat in Canada you need two things, Spider Spray and Konk 409, for mosquitoes inside to able to sleep at night, without the constant buzzing. Used 1 can a year to a year and half for 17 years, a small spray up front and one out back, totally food safe used in restaurants. It works so well that 1/2 hour later you need to sweep up the dead bugs. It does have a smell smell to it, made in Australia.

@SchoandJo Год назад

Great tips, thank you!

@Alcochaser Год назад

I hope at some point you run across a big lake freighter boat.. those are impressive.

Will have to see! We did see a very large container ship on the way to Cape Vincent NY.

@patrickhynes6058 Год назад

When you were troubleshooting the rope on the rock…was thinking you could also tie it to a nearby tree trunk?

@donmcconnery5080 Год назад

Tieing to trees is not allowed

@dahveed284 Год назад

I bet that water is freezing. I try and follow along on google maps.

@Niki10-32 Год назад

Is anchoring difficult in many of these places? See a couple boats in the vid at anchor but it seems like it would be a rock bottom with nothing for an anchor to dig into.

@johnwootton836 Год назад

Would our Endeavour 44 Trawlercat with an 18’-8” beam be to big for this route?

@timothyjones6601 Год назад

Did I miss something,Where is Ollie?

@SchoandJo Год назад

Ollie can normally be found in the most comfortable place on the boat!

@laurameunier5290 Год назад

Could they not mark the rocks somehow ?

@SchoandJo Год назад

They will mark rocks with the main channel, but their are too many rivers, anchorages, off shoots, etc to mark every single rock in the water ways. Sometimes locals will put a empty bleach container on a pole to mark a rock, or simply in navionics there is a rock symbol. No matter what, we just go slow and keep an eye out 😁

@richardstever3242 11 месяцев назад

Massasauga Provincial Park is where the wreck of the Waubuno (1879) is. You can see it from the surface but you can dive with a mask.

@johnmarschalk1977 Год назад

mix peppermint or spearmint oil w water in a spray bottle. Runs the bugs off

@SchoandJo Год назад

Thanks John!

@michelbedos9371 Год назад

Why are you anchoring so far from the shore? There is plenty of depth. You were also looking for trouble if a boat passed between you and the shore.

@SchoandJo Год назад

We didn’t anchor too far from shore, there was a ton more room in the central part of the bay. Also our line was floating and bright orange so it’s very doubtful anyone would go that route. As this was our first time stern tieing as we mentioned so we gave it a bit more leeway that was required. If you want some of our next videos you will see us stern tie closer to shore.

@michelbedos9371 Год назад

@@SchoandJo Thank you for your reply. Also you may want to use a heavier line to tie off from the shore. We were stern tied off from shore several times when strong winds hit us in the middle of the night. Out of the boats there we were the only ones that did not have to do anything.

@SchoandJo Год назад

Good advice! We will have to keep that in mind for next time!

@mikepech6822 Год назад

Aside from informative videos, you guys know how to have fun and document it. Every video from when you began this trip from the south there is not one that I lost interest. Video pros now and boaters as well. You abide by local unwritten laws like not tying to trees. Things like that make you special. Although you are knowlege of all boating rules and regs, you never once sounded like know it alls. I watch alot of these videos because it was a big part of my life. There were many that I would say REALLY? and just skip to the next one. Not once with your videos and always look forward to your next one.

@realtruth716 11 месяцев назад

I realize you're being a bit facetious, but I always thought it was based off the continent, North America.

@kathek.4960 Год назад

You opted not to go to the Bahamas. Was it because it would have been difficult taking Ollie?

@SchoandJo Год назад

No, Ollie didn’t factor in. We just thought we’d save that for the future if we ever tried sailing. Our friends took their dog to the Bahamas on Abroad Reach Travel and they should be posting about it in the next few months!
