That was a nice cruise through the Gulf of Mexico.

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you and thank you for watching!

Amazing to see a body of water the size of the gulf that flat and calm..

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching! We agree, it was a great day for crossing!

This is my 2nd video of yours I've seen. Well done x2. You are a great commentator, I enjoy your content.

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching and for the kind comments!

[@damronadr]

Would love to see a map of your progress as you go along.

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching! That is a good idea, we will try to include a map with our progress!

Enjoying your videos. Could you show the engine room and comment on how easy it is to check the oil and change filters? It would be greatly appreciated.

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching! That is one of the videos we are planning to do in the future. We have a oil transfer pump so changing the oil is just a flip of the switch. And, all the filters are easy to reach.

When you have a chance, could you show how you have the dingy rigged to your 390. Thanks for another great video!!!!!

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you, Dan! We plan to do a dinghy video in the near future. We have a Dinghy Caddy and are very happy with our set up.

Great video guys, congratulations! Just happen to come across your KZbin channel recently and was very interested in following you along your Great Loop experience. It’s something we are considering and I am looking forward to get your impressions of this exciting challenge. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see your next video.

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching and welcome aboard! It’s something new everyday, but the stress is always the same - can I do it? LOL! By the end of the day, we’ve had a great time!

[@jodirussell7619]

another great video... are you on fb as well?

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching! We are on Facebook and Instagram - AdventuresAboardMiracle on both. My posts are a little ahead of the videos so I’m letting Chris catch up, lol!

[@dankreke3405]

Also. Where did you get your boarding ladder? Thanks!!!

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

The previous owners bought the ladder, so it came with the boat. It is a New Wave (new wave fab.com).We were hoping to put a set of connectors on the starboard as well; however, the location is inside the owner’s shower. As a result, we have to always have the finger pier on the port side. I am short and there have been places I wouldn’t be able to get off the boat without it.

Was it difficult to get into Steinhatchee with the shallow entrance?

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching! The short answer is yes, it was shallow getting in. We have a 3 ft draft but we were still anxious. The new marina, Steinhatchee Marina at Deadman’s Bay, dredged out their area and has good depth. The channel started a long way offshore and it is clearly marked, but it does get shallow, especially with winter tides.

Maybe more video and less photos would be better

[@adventuresaboardmiracle]

Thank you for watching! We agree!! We get busy and forget to take videos but we are trying to get into the swing if it. When we left Panama City we realized we hadn’t taken one video. We have learned our lesson and are taking more videos - hang in there.
