I have fallen in Love with Ollie!!!

[@tammyvincent9417]

You gotta love the Great Lakes. Two great counties coming together over 5 great lakes, a few more lakes and waterways that are almost great, with more islands than you can keep up with, each with its own personality. You're seeing sailing, yachting with boats smaller than yours all the way up to huge, fishing (both sport and commercial), a 50 year old shipping fleet supporting viable heavy industry on either side of the lakes. Its declined from its heyday, but I think the lakes have stabilized as far as the industry, fisheries, tourism, water quality and levels etc. They went through a period of boom, a period of bust and now its a stable, viable and hopefully sustainable area in multiple positive ways.

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

Yay Ollie, she was cracking me up with the size of the rocks she was getting. Enjoy the Ride

[@lindamaurice9923]

Glad you enjoyed Canada so much, and please come back, there is so much more to see.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Welcome to Michigan! I have lived here my whole life. 👍👏

[@Catalina58601]

I am so glad you shared your journey on YT. I had no clue about a lot of the places you went. I just told my husband how I would love to visit The Georgian Bay. Congrats on such an accomplishment. You have done more for the loop than you'll ever know. And Ollie has officially eliminated all the bad rocks in Canada! Good job all four of you (Pivot included) Cheers indeed.

Harbor Island is my favorite place to overnight on my boat, stop in there several times a year.

I love the way you put meals together with what every you happen to have on the boat. I'm a meat and potatoes guy but you make stuff that sounds delicious. Nicely done.....

[@richardbanks6025]

Sorry to see you leave Canada, hope you come back soon, lots more fresh and salt water available to sail, stay safe

[@Johnny.D]

Happy you folks enjoyed your time in Canada, next time try the Rideau canal from Kingston to Ottawa then head east to Montreal. And back down the Richelieu river to lake Champlain. That would be fun to follow along your journey. Maybe someday i will try it.

[@Alcochaser]

Lol 8:26 Ollie was driving the boat.

What a great service to boaters you are doing. Not only “loopers! . Thank you for all the work this has been for you to produce. We enjoy it so much!

Thank you!

So glad you loved the Canadian part of the Loop. I am so impressed with Olie!!!

[@bobr9689]

Welcome back to the USA. May you continue to have safe travels, high tides everywhere, and great cruising weather as you finish your epic journey.

[@royyoung3456]

It looks like you've done some refinish on your bright work. It looks good. The water in the US looks dirty.

[@willemkoeslag9269]

Just a comment; we, growing up had a German Sheppard named Rex. He loved diving for rocks as well, however, over time we noticed his teeth were being ground down. It caused lots of problems as he aged. Just an observation.

[@philboyer2036]

You should have called Ollie, Rocky.

[@tomreid5184]

Ollie is a dog of many skills. It amazes me watching the size of rocks she is able to retrieve. Now we find out that she is also a ventriloquist. She can talk without moving her lips. Awesome. It's June 29th 2023 as I write this and you taped it Aug 24th. Time travel. Now the question is, am I looking at the past or into the future. Ha Ha. What are you doing now? No need to answer. I just hope you are enjoying life. Semper Fi.

I guess you are home but getting to the front door is still a long way to go. Thank you again for sharing your trip. I have always wanted to go to Canada and finally after 70 years you have taken we there.

[@sailinglatis]

A fun and great episode! We will miss your videos here but I look forward to seeing places I want to visit in the USA. Thank you and standing by on Channel 16 for the next video. 🇨🇦

[@geoffreywalter6953]

You guys are so adorable and interesting to watch. Please do not stop doing what you are doing. Lots of love from your new Canadian friends.

[@sewcellosusan8664]

I started watching your channel, waiting for this day & your arrival to my home state of Michigan. Our cousins live on Drummond Island & we've taken the ferry between DeTour & D.I. many times. Coincidentally, we just returned home from a quick trip along the northeastern shore of Lake Huron . Enjoy the Great Lakes State!

[@almolloy5817]

Au revoir for now. 11:17 those aren't leftovers, they're planned overs.

[@larrydicenzo3826]

Congratulations on another achievement. Question, did you ever have to change zincs while in fresh water?

[@jessicabollinger6289]

Headed up there next week! Putting in at st Ignace. What wild cards do you do with shithead? We do 8 skip. 10 clears. 2 reset. Red 3 is a window. 7 next card descends.

[@christip20]

I was just thinking about your travels and wondering what’s next. This reminds me of the book that Peter Jenkins wrote about his travels on the ICW , it’s called “Journey along the Edge of America “ or something very similar to that. It might be something you would enjoy judging from the book, he met lots of nice people and had some great Times & adventures and this was his plan when he bought his Boat. He did take some lessons with a Captain but I don’t think it was very many. I can say without a doubt that anyone near Atlanta would probably trade places with you, it’s getting really hot even in the North Georgia Mountains!!

[@CrabDabs]

Mackinaw island is a MUST stop if your going through Lake Michigan, also Charlevoix is a must stop, has a whole inland lake you can explore and make it all the way to boyne city all inland both towns are awesome with tons to do, traverse city is an awesome stop too, grand haven, Holland, and south haven are all cool as well. Tons and tons of awesome beach towns on Lake Michigan coast. But DO NOT miss mackinaw

[@CrabDabs]

Pentwater, Manistee, Frankfort and Whitehall are all awesome too all on Michigan’s west coast tons of places to eat and stay all really cool tourist towns. Silver lake is also a fun stop if you like off-road vehicles n such but that’s a day thing no inlet there, have fun stay safe!

[@jaxondad]

What are the music tracks in the background?

[@The442nd]

having navigated through Canada's Trent Severn Waterway, is that max 23 feet of beam truly inflexible? I found a possible boat for us, but it has a beam of 24.602 feet

[@mardak]

The narrowest lock on the Trent Severn waterway is historic lock 45, which is 23 ft wide. This is the final lock before Georgian Bay. I suppose you could pay to have your boat transported the very short distance from one of the many boat launches near lock 45 to one on Georgian Bay.

[@The442nd]

@@mardak That's a thought. Thank you.
