3500 Mile Boat Trip Ends In Philadelphia E154

[@festerofest4374]

What a smooth and peaceful final leg of the trip. Had to laugh at the chewed-up seat cushion...oh, boy...naughty bird! Roger out!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That bird has ruined every seat cushion in the salon. Lyn plans to reupholster them in a fabric she does eat.

Thanks for taking us with you.

Loved the series and you didn’t sink! 😀

Welcome home!

enjoy your boat life as long as you can. My wife and I boated for years but got too old to do it anymore, wish we could turn the clock backwards and do it again. Have fun

The drone shot o you guys underway was really cool

[@abguy4]

Excellent, and you chose some , "sorta bitter-sweet", music to set the proper mood. Once again you took the land-locked polar bears through another long winter and ended just as the Spring is coming-in up in the NE. 30K of us Thank You~! for the time-n-effort you put into these entertaining videos. And I heartily second rich noonan's post below. Gawd Bless.

Welcome back to the Commonwealth. Trips are fun but like Dorothy said, there is no place like home.

Watched this trip all the way through. Thank you for posting this content. Native western Pennsylvanian living in Daytona. Hope to see you on your return at Caribbean Jacks!

Great trip guys!! CHEERS!

I was waiting for you to throw some crackers into the water to test the current. Nice trip.

I saw my boat! Herrington Harbor North at the patio.

Keep um coming, you guys are great and bring more joy then you can ever know. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@CaptainJack-Marshall]

What a great way to spend time together ~ grab a boat and go cruising for a few months. Thank for taking us along. What a ride! Ed you did a great job editing and Lyn you did a great job shooting. We look forward to your return trip having a few drinks if you stop back at safe harbor south harbor village in Southport nc. Cheers🍺🏴‍☠️👍

[@deantaylor3786]

We are just beginning our cruising life and love your videos. Gives us inspiration of where to go and you pass along information that will make the trip less stressful and more fun. Love it and thank you!

[@REDCHARGERMAN]

Really enjoy your videos! Great job!

Thanks for a great season. Looking forward to the Caribbean.

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

Thank you very much! We always enjoy watching.

[@edf2953]

Ed, it looks like you and Lynn had a nice trip, yet I’m sure it’s always nice to return home. I enjoy watching your videos. Great job! Look forward to your next adventure…Ed

[@Resort_Fans]

Wonderful! You guys just keep getting better.

[@AlbuquerqueImaging]

What fun that was watching your videos. Congrats on getting home as well. I love Philly and remember my last visit fondly. I was in the engine room the whole time and of course the Detroit's performed nearly flawlessly! Scary transformer meltdown and close call with the charging issue so far from home other than that was the only trouble besides some clogged cooling system and dirty fuel filter problems. Hats off Captain for a steady hand at the tiller and crew! Love your first mate dearly now as I'm sure you do! Cheers!!

[@KeesHaring]

Thank you for this nice voyage i really appreciate your video's

awesome video and trip!! love the music and you two fun boaters!

[@williamallison1730]

Hi guys! You single handedly inspired me and my wife to buy our own Hatteras 60MY 2 years ago. We intend to depart the Muscle Shoals area this fall to head for the Gulf and adventure. Thanks so much for all the great content!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That is awesome! One of the best decisions we ever made.

[@foreverfixin]

That was an awesome season guys can't wait for the next one glad the Hatteras is treating y'all well

[@jimk351c]

Thanks for taking us for the ride! I was up in Philly recently and visited the Big U. from the IKEA. You must get a good look at her when in route to your home port.

[@H-Travels]

Love you guys… having owned many boats, and getting ready to call it quits in the professional environment, this trip has had a really profound impact on plans ahead 🤔😊😎 James and Domi

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. We are glad you found the videos helpful. Hope to see you on the water!

[@lovingcars]

Enjoyed the part of the trip I viewed immensely.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@captaintrip4009]

Welcome back to your home port! My home port is Newport Rhode Island

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. We took our Carver to Newport several years ago. We were very new and I was very nervous docking outside that waterfront restaurant next to all those expensive yachts.

[@wallywallyblack1]

I don't boat it's not my thing but I do injoy your travels. Probably go back and rewatch to whole trip before you start again. Thank for the good times

[@johnahern881]

If you know what you did now when you bought your boat, would you? Go smaller, go larger? Choose a different style?

[@lesterwicklein717]

awesome thanks. there are some great bars in the deale area

[@captruffseas1860]

Hi Ed and Lyn - CaptRuff here. My 1st Mate and I have been enjoying your videos from the start. We have always loved the old Hats, as a matter of fact we’re in contract to buy a 1977 58’ MY. She’s up on lake St.Clair and we can’t wait for the weather to improve so we can do the sea trial and haul out. Our plan is to keep her on Pickwick Lake and travel down to Florida and Bahamas between November and May. Looking forward to running into you two one season in the Bahamas or So.Florida. Albeit we’re probably a little sleepy for you two. 😂

[@Rockabuy2002]

Another great video series, thanks. You have taken a lot of the mystery out of long distance cruising for me. It seems you really have your boat debugged. Hardly any issues. I have them daily lol.

[@livingonmytime1076]

[@tombuscher5295]

Next time you’re looking for a spot to stay on the Chesapeake I recommend Great Oak landing!

[@stephenvalliere4502]

Chris field is a gorgeous location but the times and lack of travelers have effected the area, great review and honesty .....hey would love to inviteyou to baltimore Yacht club during your passage someday great blog and isperational

[@dcallan812]

Whay a diffrence in marina's. You looked as if both of you had a great summer. 👍 Is see the cargo ship the Never Forward is still stuck in the mud, not soemthing our captain would do. I figure the cabin boy on duty. great video 2x👍

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching. We had a great summer (and winter). Getting ready to head south again in a couple weeks!

[@bradwhite6254]

Does your boat have a bow thruster? Seems that would help you get off the dock. But maybe with no speed you would still hit the boat in front of you. Great video as always.

[@softballbryan]

Smith Island cake!

[@garypoltonowicz7950]

Great video! You cut the video off a little short before I got to have a cameo lol

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I know. Lyn had her finger partially over the lens so I couldn't use it. Plus, we did a talk on the flybridge, recapping the trip and our card must have been full because it ended after 30 seconds, right after I yelled "Thanks for the Jeep" as you were leaving the marina.

[@simonbrown4653]

Next time try Chesapeake Inn. Much more protected basin. There are free city floating docks. Stay close to army core coming into the basin and there is plenty of water

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We have been there many times.(see other videos) They dredged it two years ago and now it is 12 feet everywhere.

[@scotthorslin5482]

That ‘Stern first’ manoeuvre at the end did seem a bit challenging. Strong current.

[@wildherron1258]

Great videos. Love your channel and this season was a great adventure to Key West. I probably missed it, but did you cover your decision to not go on to the Caribbean (or was that a goal for 2022?); you had talked about it on the Q&A show posted back in January. I take it that your expensive insurance policy is covering you as "live aboard" and south of the GA/FL line during hurricane season. True? If so, I'd love to know which company is underwriting under those conditions and who your broker is.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Our plan is to go to the Caribbean this year. Not sure about insurance yet, but I know whatever it is, it won't stop us.

[@12FlyVA]

Another great video from you guys. Thanks. I am considering a spring trip in my Trawler from the Potomac, up the Chesapeake, and across the C & D. I have in-laws in Wilmington. While I was up that way, I was considering a trip up the Delaware towards Trenton. Is that a worthwhile cruise? Appreciate your thoughts since that is your home waters. Thanks

[@dalwilson4511]

Hi Ed great show ! Been watching for a long time , question coming up the inter coastal from Florida did you have any trouble running a ground between markers? Last time I was going through north of Jacksonville I was having trouble running a ground I draw 4 and I noticed a lot of markers were missing

[@edwardguzik4282]

Ok OK, you said to ask question? Early in our life with the family of 4 we would travel in a RV/tag along trailer, from April to October. When staying at a RV site we would look for other RV locations in the same location or look for other RV parks and check them out. How do you come up with locations when you travel by boat? Recommendations or do you visit the other Mariana's or do you plan out your trips?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We use Waterway Guide Books and the internet. Also our navigation program shows the locations and some details about the marinas. Sometimes it is on recommendations as well.

[@clarkkent772]

During low tide do you still have boat wakes coming under the outer pier at Penns Landing?
