I am new to your channel. I have been watching all your videos from the beginning to the present. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am planning to add a house batteries on my boat (it didn’t have one when I bought the boat). I wanted to ask you if you can share your thoughts about the house batteries that you installed. Has been almost 2 years if I’m not wrong. How the batteries are performing, are you happy with them or were you going to install a different brand? Thanks

Another great video but F/ Taylor, Swift, and her friends

Hello new to your channel excellent video. We probably been watching you for a month or so trying to catch up. Thank you for sharing beautiful scenery and we like how you explain everything as you’re sailing from one destination to the next looking forward to more videos.

Great day! The Narrows, Statue of Liberty, I think I saw the Empire State Bldg, all the bridges. Very Cool Day for sure!

Awesome tour of New York Harbor by water! It is amazing, though, how green and open it becomes just north of the city! Looking forward to seeing more of the Hudson Valley area and West Point with you. We recently toured in this area and West Point was a definite highlight!

We have enjoyed watching your videos from the time you left up until now ... Now that you have finished the loop and enjoying being home do you plan on taking all your fans on another trip or are you guys going to be like most sell your boat after finishing the loop? Keep up the great work looking forward to see what happens with Andromeda. Mark

Must have been quite a feeling after 9 months and one nasty underwater log to get going again. Not many have disasters like that. When sailing from Coinjock, NC headed n. on the icw to Norfolk, Va we hit a day mark (telephone pole) at 6 knots on the starboard forequarter which was an accident of inattention on my part. Eventually this led to glasswork and repainting the whole boat but we were then darned glad we had not holed the boat. Congrats.

Thank you both for another great video, you never get tired of seeing the sites of New York and the surrounding activity on the water. Looking forward to the next video. Take care.

Beginning of video as u r leaving....awesome to watch the teamwork as you toss the lines from the dock. Your fur baby is such a good superior.

It's actually West Haverstraw NY :)

What made you choose the Hudson over the East River and Harlem River?

Another great video love the statue of liberty continue safe travels!

I was curious if Bob really knew how to handle the cast off chores...and then the real expert took over the bow😉! The Manhattan Skyline was a remarkable sight. But the Statue of Liberty coming into view was truly impressive. I can only imagine what the immigrants of a long ago bygone era must have felt when She came in to view after a long Atlantic crossing. I've only seen the New York skyline from 30-50 miles out over the Atlantic at about 11,000 feet letting down in to Hartford CT. Not nearly as impressive as your views.

Carly Simon’s lyrics came to mind as you approached Manhattan: “Silver cities rise, the morning lights the streets that lead them, and sirens call them on with a song.” I’m not a city girl, but it’s impossible to not be awed by seeing New York City from the water and cruising past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Very moving and emotional. It was cute seeing Ollie watching you disconnect power and release docklines preparing to leave Staten Island …he’s so interested in what you’re doing, and wants to be sure you’re not going anywhere without him!) 🥰

I drove for a airport car service. From Delaware i have been up that way many times. JFK, EWR Airports Manhattan, Brooklyn, liberty cruise terminals. You went past the still open dock for the Titanic.

I'm way behind on your adventure but getting caught up today. Some nice blues you selected for some of the tunes! Hope all is well.

Y'all are going to have to do the loop again. You're speeding so fast that you missed a whole lot.. a WHOLE LOT. The most dangerous thing on a boat is a schedule. Be safe out there.

Still confused by you continuing to bow in at docks as your power on 480 comes off stern???

Congratulations to both of you! Hard work and good fortune happens to good people!

Nice video guys! Ollie looked as though he’d rather be on dry land.

I have enjoyed this day. The departure was gorgeous and loved the open ocean and "The Lump". Music was super and I could smell the ocean air.

You are almost home! It has been a great journey for you and for us viewers to watch! I am sure you are looking forward to snow and cold weather!!

You are truly blessed to take these incredible journeys. Another top tier video. Thanks for sharing my friends and taking me along!!!😁😁😁

Hi guys, I know I've said it before, however I still cannot get over the beauty of your waterways travelled and the beautiful cities along the way...... 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻💙🦘🦘

Ollie can officially be called an "Old Sea Dog". An experienced ocean mariner. Stay safe.🐶

The “Lump” is right outside of Townsends Inlet which divides Avalon from Sea Isle City. It is a popular fishing spot along with the TI reef about 4 miles dead east from Townsends Inlet. I live in Sea Isle City. Good luck and smooth sailing.

Yep, looks like gethomeitis has set in, sez this doc. This looked like a long, tiring but satisfying run. Hope Ollie felt the same 😉 And it completely disabused me of any notions I had of Staten Island NY.

Your sweet boy didn't look too happy to be on the outside

Loved the music selections, especially at the beginning - you have a great knack for finding instrumentals that enhance the video rather than being a distraction. 👍🎶 I think I’d be apprehensive going ‘outside’ and making that loooong run up the coastline, but looks like the Atlantic treated you well, and it must be really exciting to pull into the lower bay and be so close to seeing New York City from your own boat! Incredible. (And, oh yeah - both Don and I loved the ‘Pupdate’ and seeing precious Ollie looking none too thrilled with the offshore run!)

Sorry about your lions. I know you guys are heart broken.

We missed Cape May!😢 It looked like a cool little town! 😊 We took a great weather window and skipped Cape May to head closer to Atlantic City😂

Wow! The colors in that opening! Amazing!❤🛥

Always scares me when she's on the bow with no PFD...Especially in the inlet, lots of wakes and roll...Be careful!

Maybe this was covered already, but I'd like to know what camera and microphone you are using for the videos. The quality is very good, and I really enjoy the scenery shots.

If you’ve not had education or training in video production, then your your native skills are nothing short of astounding. Your videography, sound recording, narration, editing and continuity, and music selection are just outstanding. You absolutely know how to tell a story. Your passion for it really shows. Who the hell cares if you occasionally mispronounce “cay!” In my early to mid-20s (I’m about to turn 68), I was employed in creative endeavors. I know what goes into making these videos. You make it seem easy, but for folks reading this comment, please know it’s not. A ton of thought and work goes into these videos. The excellent on-the-fly narration minimizes the post-production narration. I certainly appreciate the work that you undertook to make these videos!

Again, I know I’m way, way behind here, but the main comment I want to make will be for future viewers/comment readers of this most excellent vlog so that they may recognize what’s happening if they find themselves doing what’s depicted in this series of videos. A couple episodes ago, when you couldn’t recall the name of the place where you had landed after several 8+ hour days, I said to myself, “They are fatigued.” I watched your post-Orange Beach episodes and saw how you were pushing yourselves day after day. I pretty much knew it was going to catch up with you. And it did. I flew big airplanes (after photojournalism-long story) for three decades with long and varied schedules and, at times, short layovers. I know about fatigue. It’s not being sleepy. It’s a slowing of your mental and physical processes. One has mental lapses and makes seemingly small errors that taken individually may not seem like much, but taken collectively can be a link in a chain that leads to an accident. Add to that poor nutrition, which includes hydration, it can also lead to a medical event, which you found out. OK, off my soap box. My second comment regards Manny’s detection of an “aura” about you two. Anybody with a Golden Retriever onboard has an aura! They only hang around good people!

We look forward to everyone of your videos! Have enjoyed your journeys and wish you safe travels. We are docked at the wharf in orange beach and have seen quite a few loopers since the 1st of the year docked by us! Again safe teavels

I’m late to the Andromeda vlog. I’ve watched a select few. This one is EXCELLENT. In another lifetime, I was photojournalist. You told this story well. I’m cruising the loop in sections in a trailerable Ranger Tug R27 (inboard diesel, not the outboard model). A failure of its single engine or in its drive train is certainly a concern. That you had a second engine to keep you going was critical to your success and you handled it well. That you have a Golden Retriever on board tells me all I need to know about you two as a couple.

At this stage of your Loop journey "gethomeitis" has to be setting in a bit. Much closer to home, yet many more nautical miles to go. But there's gotta be many more ports of call to look forward to, some dog parks for Ollie, and some good dock side seafood shacks and rum bars for the crew.

Another great video! I have had the pleasure of boating on the Delaware Bay and up the canal with a friend. Great memories!

To a native Delawarian anyone from below the canal is called lower slower. It's a much slower pace of life down there. Also referred to as the island. Man made but still. Also the canal is nicknamed the ditch by natives. The lighthouse is pronounced my maul. Several other lighthouses farther south. The flat top and 14 foot. All have good fishing. Blues, stripers, weekfish, fluke,

Great video with special interest concerning Cape May. We are blessed to have a family beach house on the bay side of Cape May in a cool little place called Town Bank! It’s right before the Cape May canal. Love your Sea Ray and enjoy finding your channel! Good luck w/ your Lions, Go Birds! 🦅

5-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟video as usual. Love these new adventures that you share. Outstanding videos. Thanks for sharing. Be well my friends!!!

Another interesting video from the bridge. Thank you for the ride and enjoy Cape May. GO LIONS !!!

I bet you guys are excited about the lions in the playoffs.

Not many other places on the west side of the bay to stop on the northern part.

We were stationed in Dover, DE. Longest assignment of dad's career. Trying to get back to Georgia any chance he got, but loved th fishing there. Couple trips took me on Delaware Bay. Think I'll stop in Lewes and cut across to Cape May, just to stop and see where I spent 6th - 1/2 way through 11th grade.

Thanks again guys, great video...that pub at the end looked just the place to knock the top off a few frothy ones at the end of the day..🍻🍻🍻🍻💙🦘🦘

I'm so glad you were able to spend some time in Cape May. I used to work at South Jersey Marina in high school and in college. Spent my summer's there since I was six years old. It's a wonderful and special place. I'm thrilled you had a chance to enjoy it. A lot of other loopers I followed, never went into town.

Didn't realize Delaware Bay was that big. Looked like a very peaceful day on the water.Being a handicapped 75 year old, I enjoy your postings very much. Give Ollie an extra treat for his successful shift as security. God bless and stay safe.
