Cruising the North Carolina ICW - Pungo, Oriental, Beaufort. E161

We leave Coinjock for an anchorage on the Pungo River. We have an overnight stop at Oriental, then spend a couple of days in Beaufort.

[@dougbrisotti4960]

Great seeing you guys in Beaufort. Thanks for the mention!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It was fun! See you next time!

[@jonahbowles7341]

You guys are living the life so many of us aspire to live during retirement!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for joining us!

[@CaptainJack-Marshall]

Got to say, y’all have really improved on your shot selection and editing over the years. Y’all make it look so easy and so fun. Glad you got the tour Beaufort, a great little town. Can’t wait for your next video. Stay safe and always remember it’s a pirates life🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. Although our skills have improved some, it is really all about time. I spend more time editing now. To me, the videos are never finished, only abandoned. I always wish I could go over them at least once more to fine tune, but there is always another one waiting to be started.

[@CaptainJack-Marshall]

@@tryingnottosink9107 agreed- LOL welcome to my world of editing for news. I live in a time, now we shoot it and edit the piece within 15 minutes and we are on air within 30. I have wish so many times I had or at least the editor had just another 10 minutes to fine tune it. OH well. Keep it going. Your doing great! But always remember- it’s a pirate’s life cruising. Live the dream🏴‍☠️❤️

Those cool boats that passed you are from special boat team 20. US Naval Special Warfare boats. A real blast to drive

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

[@Geecomp3]

Hi..enjoy the vids. Former 48LRC owner. Am I the only one that wants to hear the sound of those big Detroits. Thx Gerry in Michigan

[@tryingnottosink9107]

All that was done about 15-20 years ago. We do most of our maintenance ourselves but have used Worton Creek (Maryland) and Father and Son's Yacht Service (Ft, Lauderdale)

[@dennishaggett5169]

Mad Hatter Mobile Marine, Inc loves your video.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching!

[@dennisd6527]

Nice video. Every time I hear of Beaufort, I think of South Carolina, my home at Paris Island during basic training. I keep forgetting there is a Beaufort in NC and SC. Although it's pronounced 'Boofurt" in SC. Anyway, it looked like a nice ride. Enjoy.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We have been to Boofort several times as well. A great waterfront area!

[@chipnjc]

My backyard! Love it! ❤️

[@karaDee2363]

I love💖 it when you hear Lynn in the background saying.. Roger out... After Ed is done speaking LOL

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That is surprisingly popular!

[@TheChuckinSC]

Y’all appear to keep on enjoying the good life!

[@viperscratchoffs]

Nice 👍👍 enjoyed watching 👻🙋

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks!

[@bchalker]

Looks like you had great weather

[@alyssonmanson8912]

cheers xxx

[@bigvisk1125]

Just found your channel but very cool. I live near bath/washington just a little more west than where you were at here :)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching!

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@jakejohnston5780]

Did anyone else happen to notice the porpoises in the water at 9:03 as the left Oriental Marina, when the other two boats were coming around the bend. They were towards the bottom left of the screen

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We see dolphins almost every day on the water. Lyn films them on occasion.

[@KwanTao69]

Hey guys, sure wish I has known you were going to be in Oriental. Would have loved to buy you a drink at at the Tiki Bar. Oh well, maybe next time, guess I need to pay more attention to the channel.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

The videos are always late. Our real-time schedule is always on Facebook.

[@randybradley6003]

You should have stopped in EDENTON while you were on the sound there its quite a nice little place.

[@festerofest4374]

Looks like pretty smooth waters and good chill times on this leg.... But Sad face :( ......The 'Roger Out' at 1:53 was lacking enthusiasm from Lyn (audio problems?) and Ed didn't even seem to care!

[@CathyH-k1v]

Love watching your videos! Have you done "The Loop"?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

No. Our boat is too tall for the Loop.

[@WiscoBoater]

What is it that Gumby is hanging on to at the helm??

[@tryingnottosink9107]

An extension cord.

[@jessevichich9020]

Hello!! I like your videos and keep up the great content. I am hoping to own a vessel as beautiful as your Hatteras some day. I have a quick question. How long do you think it would take to get from Norfolk Virginia to Jacksonville FL on the ICW? Quick as possible. 46ft Jefferson Sundeck, Cruising speed 10 knots., No marinas, staying out on the water at anchor.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

To be quick you would need to go outside. Inside, if you are anchoring, and running 10 hours a day, it would take about 7 days. We only like to go 5-6 hours a day so it would take us about 12. However, as you'll see in the next video, we go outside for a 24 hour run from Georgetown to Fernadina Beach, which knocks about 5 days off the trip. The fastest way is Norfolk to Coinjock, to Beafort, outside for 48 hours to Jacksonville. 4 days at 10 knots.

[@1Sngr]

Thought about y'all as I was crossing to/from Hilton Head this past weekend. Happy sailing!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Cheers!

[@dirtyoldfarmhand3]

Awesome

[@jjasonsingleton]

I bought Bubblehead, a 50 ft 67 Hatteras. My wife put together an amature channel 'Bought a big boat' (use Cincinnati in the search) with our adventures comming down the Mississipi and up the Ohio river to home. I have a ton of stuff to get Bubbelhead and Tiny Bubbles squared away. I did leave a couple of messages on your channel and I think you responded to one but I have had a few drinks and I can't remember the way back history. Thanks for your channel, I knew I wanted a Hatteras and your information has been gratly helpful.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Congratulations on the Hatt. We love ours! Fortunately, there is a nice online community to help us figure things out (Sam's Marine Forum and Facebook).

[@duaneraver5762]

When are you going to be in Wilmington, NC? I would love to meet you both. A fan of Trying Not To Sink.

Our videos are weeks behind. We were there in mid May.

Not sure how far behind your videos are, but we’re heading down south same way. Currently anchored in Church Creek south of Charleston.

[@robertbennett6697]

How many hours of transit per day do you find the most enjoyable?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

4-5 is what we like, but we do what is necessary. Overnights are not bad because you are psyched for them. The 10 hour runs are the worst.

[@kbreynolds4188]

now that place has changed since I was there in the c g thirty something years ago .b t y did you happen to go by hobucken?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Not sure where that is. We basically stayed on the ICW this time.

[@wackjob7]

Tim F So basically its cruise in the day and get hammered at night is what I am seeing. Pretty fun.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yep!

[@wackjob7]

@@tryingnottosink9107 I'm in! Looking at a trawler liveaboard here in the Caribbean. Keep on cruising all!

[@cortrightwetherill4081]

We will be in Beauford NC sometime tomorrow or Saturday, if you are near me I would love to buy fellow Philadelphia’s a drink.

I am still looking in my mail box Lynn was going to send me something from the Windless control panel episode 🤣🛫

[@bbmatthews2002]

How recent are your videos? Our boat is in Beaufort. Would buy you a beer, but have been doing business travel this weekend… 😐

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We are about two months behind in editing. We are back in Philly now.

[@davidsvperegrine2146]

hi, I have same boat and a lrc, I just put the same lights on, but 4 on transom, 1 on each side under where the stairway attaches, my rear water tank is elevated, fished wires under no prob, plus eliminated sheer stripe so all white hull, I'll shoot you pics if you have email you give out👍🏻

[@tryingnottosink9107]

So far, the two lights have worked well. At least in the clear waters of the Bahamas. We could probably put two more on if we tried. I could get under the water tank but it would be a major project to take our bed and headboard apart.

[@matthewmeaux3450]

Are you looking for a deckhand for 2023

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Not sure yet. We don't plan that far ahead.

[@r390radio]

all looks great sell my shore house and try to convince the wife to come along :)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Sounds like a plan!
