Camera adds 10 pounds. You're good. So , are the zincs solid zinc or just a layer over some other metal? The big one one from the stern looked like you could have sanded/grinded the crude off and it would have lasted until you got home.
@seaclefloopingАй бұрын
I believe they are solid zincs. The divers dream on the transom I wanted to switch while it was easy and I wanted zinc. However you might be right. Not too expensive so I’m good with it.

Sea Clef is a what? Draft, length, power etc details lacking is the reason no one is hitting the "like" button. Sorry 'bout that'...
@seaclefloopingАй бұрын
Some of our other videos cover the details but she’s 42 ft waterline length and her draft is 42”. She has twin Cummins 330 HP diesels. Have a look at some of our “tour videos” if you have an interest. This is not really a video that lives on its own with all the answers. We have 70 or 80 videos with a variety of content. I think people who follow our channel would get tired of hearing the specs on each video so we make separate videos with that info. Thank you for your feedback, and hopefully I have answered your questions! Have a great day!

This "Flight of 5" in Waterford is not the one that climbs the Niagra Escarpment.... this climbs up about 160 feet from the Hudson up to the Mohawk river portion of the Erie Canal. The other famous "Flight of 5" is 350 miles to your west in Lockport, New York -- and that famous flight of 5 is no longer in use - still there to your right -- but replaced by two modern locks that do indeed take you up the Niagra Escarpment ..... #themoreyouknow

Glad you like the format. It's really evolved as we have moved through our loop. It started out as just logging our travels for my parents to arm chair travel, then became something for loopers to gain from as fellow loopers began asking questions. We hope that our videos will continue to be useful to many so that others can be reassured that the loop is very doable!

You are correct. We actually made the mistake of buying the cheaper version when we wanted to have a second iPad running a second navigation software. Had to buy another iPad with cell chip. You don’t require a cell package but it needs the internal gps that is not in the other iPad. You could also buy an external gos for the iPad.
