My neck of the water. Lived in Swansboro. Drove the Hammocks Beach State Park ferry for several years. In fact, headed down there tomorrow (but on land:-().

Thanks Ed and Lyn for mentioning the Grayson Cooper Adventures! So great spending time with you guys. See you soon!

that cruisers yacht was pretty nice.

We live right by Taylor creek, Beaufort N.C. Beautiful place to live!!

Lyn is a good first mate, as well you a Captain sir.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Perfect timing~! Ed an lovely Lyn let us in on their trip, sum moor. Always nice to see a new vid from this marvelous couple on a Fri nite, with a martini in hand. Thanks guys.

Awww I wish I knew you two were here in my neck of the coast during that time or anytime for that matter I would love to join you two on ship and help you with all the duties and just embrace that life style .I am a disabled combat vet and live in the area .I love our coast and all its treasures.. we'll you two I hope you have many great times aboard your beautiful boat .

I love that Southern North Carolina coast. Watching your great video took me back to spending summers there in the 60's. I could almost smell the "Sea and Ski"

cheers it is 5 we found the best boat to party with -xxx the hillbillies

nice work getting to that Wrightsville bridge! gotta love when a plan comes together!

Great video. We live in Beaufort and just did this trip to Southport in our 23’ center console a few days ago. Thanks for the book and author recommendation. Will look up the series.

Awesome

Thanks for the tip on the Grayson Cooper books. They are included with my kindle subscription so I don't even have to have them shipped to Tokyo. Cheers!

I'm five minutes into my 1st video on this channel and I can already tell I'll be watching all y'all's stuff.this channel is gonna be a million plus before long.great content great editing and just really enjoyable.not to mention I'm in NC about two hours from coast.

first! haha - really funny - never really cared before - but when you get it...

Very cool. This is my home town. Wrightsville Beach. We go down to southport all the time and grab food, usually from provision company though.

Fun video as always my friends can't wait for the next one 🙋👻

Ed, you and Lyn make it look so easy! Glad to see you out on the water, enjoying yourselves. Smooth sailing my friends!

love your channel- thanks for sharing your journey with us. Will have to meet when we finally move to our SC home (HHI) in summer 2023.

Missing Snow's Cut ---- @ 6:20 ! That was very worthy of that double Roger Out right there -- YAY!! Continued smooth motoring to the two of you.... the journey is looking great!

Ah yes! I made myself a golden margarita tonight for a mid summer cocktail hour. Just in time to get the bell notification for Trying Not To Sink. I enjoy your videos! Cheers to you two seafaring voyagers! Safe travels and Roger out!!😎❤🍹⛴

My home, Wrightsville beach. Hello from Thailand

Sorry we missed y’all this year. So glad you got to spend time in our neck of the ICW - at Beaufort, Wrightsville and Southport NC. Yes we do have tight places but taking you time pays off with a no call to towing service. Enjoyed riding with y’all through your video. Hope to see y’all again one day. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Went by our house!

Liar , Liar pants on fire !! , in a bar an not much to drink ,and forgot the Amex card 🤣🤣!! Looking good on the scooter! Conway

Thank you for the Author tip. my favorite water stories were Crunch and Des ones in the Saturday Evening Post back in the fifties. I spent many many weekends out on the waters from Sandy Hook down to Barnegat fishing with my friend, no big boat ,just a sturdy Hull. We've been out a few times on Bellingham Bay, WA. heading south toward Port Townsend, Washington, Shrimp and Crab fishing and just enjoying the ride, But there's something special about my Eastern routes(roots):) I am so happy I discovered both of you. Cheers, Rik Spector

My wife and I are retiring next year and moving to the boat life. Just found your channel today and am really enjoying it. Looks like we'll be getting a 68' flybridge and aim to be touring the coast line and all of the Caribbean. See you on the water!

i spend alot of time in swansboro and wrightsville and wilmington areas. awesome places. i fish snows cut and the carolina beach state park @7:37 that looks like carolina beach marina

Sorry we missed you guys! Just saw your video-we're at Port City Marina in Wilmington. Would have loved to meet in person. Your ICW experience is invaluable.

Thats the frying pan restaurant. Craig runs a great place there to eat and pass the time!

Roger out

Very nice, thanks! We have done the intercostal a few times. We anchor a lot of the way but enjoy marinas too. Too bad Georgia has gotten so unfriendly for anchoring. Just to spite we do our best to go on the outside here and skip Georgia. The only place we ran aground was behind Jekyll Island. Mid tide rising in center channel. Got off on a rising tide. A Local came by and told us the the channel shifts a lot and they haven’t been keeping the buoys up to date. Will look for the next part and subscribe.

Nice Wish I could do this

When you wash down, are you using marina water? Is it metered? Do you fill water every marina? Is it normal to dump grey water en route? Lastly, howse about a hippie hair pic from 2019? On the hard, Ed

Enjoyed meeting Colette & Bart and viewing their beautiful boat. What happened to their little dog, no screen time?

I run a 42 Jarrett bay, under light power I steer the vessel with the motors not the rudders, just curious if your boat handles better operating the wheel

Can you tell me again the author (he might use a pen name?) and books (titles or the series name) that Doug writes? Thanks! I live for your posts!

Do you ever use the Bob423 tracks?

Do you think Ed knows he has a mouse clinging to his neck?

You probably don’t even know what the tide is doing. LOL! I wouldn’t want to be on your boat.

It is pronounced B U ford

I bet riding that electric scooter after days of boating through high seas is not a good idea.
