Huge SWELLS crossing PORT ROYAL SOUND | FIRST TIME using a MOORING BALL in Beaufort, SC

[@richardcampbell6695]

After seeing your boat projects list, I think you need to add one more.. VARNISH THAT TEAK..! The railings look pretty neglected on Pivot..! L.O.L.

[@SchoandJo]

Haha we are getting back into stripping the existing varnish bit by bit starting this week! It's gonna be a project 😁

[@65MK]

As I work my way through watching your videos, I hope there is one where you’ve bought a new motor for the dinghy. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SchoandJo]

We did, and filmed a video review on it!

[@davidingraham1989]

Nothing better than a good salt bath. Thanks.D.

[@SchoandJo]

Next time it’ll be an intentional one!

[@jandenapoli4477]

You might want to do something about the long end of the strap on your life jacket when pulling the anchor. It would be horrible if it was caught in the windlass. Enjoy the adventure. Sounds like a fun time.

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks Jan! We have taken care of it for the future 😁

[@chrism1164]

Great video! BIG waves! BAD dingy motor. : ( Way to row Elliot! ❤

[@frankrice5364]

I know that is ruff for y,all but to me perfect working weather and waves

[@SchoandJo]

Sounds like you have lots of experience!

[@sharonoliver5284]

Row row row your boat gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream

[@SchoandJo]

🚣

[@lizmccafferty-seanachai3694]

Planning our next adventure from Charleston to Daufuskie in our C-22...really appreciated this episode, especially the mooring ball/rowing into the marina at Beaufort...confirms my plan to stay at the dock! All the best!

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks for watching 😁 Here is a newer video where we came into Beaufort for our Loop v2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH-YaYeear5niKs - hope you have a great trip!

[@frankrice5364]

Awesome job with the bsll

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks Frank!

[@danaligon2562]

Y’all r doing great! For me, only a Loop dreamer, it’s inspirational to see ya’ll conquer your learning curve. Gratz

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks Dana! Every day we learn something new… We look forward to hopefully seeing you out there and one day!

[@frankrice5364]

Awesome vedio

[@allan8004]

The motor problem could be that the fuel tank breather may be closed, loosen to let the tank breath, hope it's as simple as that, best of luck, Al

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks for the suggestion Al!

[@frankrice5364]

Sound like you need to replace the fuel filter amd plug

[@debakey7111]

Beaufort was one of our favorite stops. Free dinghy dock, Fantastic library, good bagel shop and a top notch park right on the water.

[@SchoandJo]

Absolutely! I don’t think we filmed it, but one night there was live music in that park. So cool! Will have to make a stop at the library next time, do you remember the name of the bagel shop?

[@debakey7111]

Yes the bagel shop was Rain-n-Bagels. 221 Scott St

[@SchoandJo]

Sweet, thanks Deb!

[@lukebyrne4405]

Fred is troubled but think about how good your conditioning is with all that rowing!

[@SchoandJo]

There’s the bright side!

[@kevbjork1]

I'm sure by now someone has mentioned it but it's a lot easier to row if the motor is tilted up out of the water. Ask me how I know! LOL.

[@SchoandJo]

Haha actually you are the first! It makes sense!

[@davidfurman3591]

Just started following you guys. Great videos and adventures so far. Thank you. This was a particularly fun video for me as we live at Hilton Head and boat those waters regularly. Fun seeing the Sound from your point of view.

[@SchoandJo]

Oh awesome! We hope to spend a little more time around there in the future seems like a great place to call home. Thanks for coming along for the ride David!

[@iamawelder]

Me too

[@frankrice5364]

My home state welcome guys

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks thanks!

[@juniinc40]

You need anchor bridle! Also put the boat in forward to pull the anchor up rather than using your windlass to pull the boat. Most importantly, don't ever call your Admiral a deckhand 😉

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks for the tips! We will start using a bridal and good suggestion on the windlass. Can’t believe I got away with the last one, next time I’ll become a deck swab 😅

[@adrianbowie6094]

was in beaufort 2 weeks ago. have family there. beautiful town. lol ate at breakwaters while there. my favorite spot is luthers. enjoying the videos. just found your channel. am a looper dreamer at the moment.

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks for coming by Adrian! Excited to see you out on the Loop one day. Next time we stop by, we will have to check out Luthers. Thanks!

[@divyamjain6969]

Its great to be on this journey with you. I would appreciate if you can mention the date of filming in the description.

[@SchoandJo]

For sure! We can add that to new videos, this was filmed in mid-April!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh my gosh those waves soaking you! Reminds us of our recent trip to Niagara Falls haha! Also, Ollie has MAD HOPS!

[@SchoandJo]

Haha it always impresses us how high she can jump… It’s why we don’t dare leave any food on tables if we leave her… 😂

[@haroldconnell2973]

Loving it, safe travels

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks Harold!

[@kentuckianaboy]

Beautiful old Trawler. Is it a Grand Banks?

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks! This is a 1989 Marine Trader

[@janetmiller1254]

I’m watching this on Friday night, January 14. I am wondering when you videotaped it. Were you in Beaufort today? I started watching you two just a week ago and am enjoying watching because you are so new to boating and the Loop. My husband and I will be new, too, when we start The Loop in June. We live in Savannah, so I am sorry that I didn’t know when you were here. Sounds like you had dinner plans already, but I would have loved to take you two out to dinner and pick your brains. Keep up the good work, but please tell us the date when you film.

[@SchoandJo]

Hi Janet! Thank you so much for watching we really appreciate it! That's exciting - June is just around the corner! We have thoroughly enjoyed Savannah both times we've come through and are looking forward to stopping by again. If you check the video description we usually have the film dates there! For this video it was back when we were heading north last Spring - April 20, 2021. Cheers!

[@njmattyp]

If you guys make it back to the Chesapeake Bay Maryland again, and don't run into any broken bones or other emergencies, maybe we can meet up.

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks Matty! We will make it happen!

[@terryhaisten6769]

My first day I'm on board Terry Panama City Florida

[@SchoandJo]

Awesome to have you Terry!

[@flutetubamorg]

Man I had an outboard that acted like that. Such a pain in the butt. I'm impressed you didn't just toss it overboard to make the rowing easier.

[@SchoandJo]

We considered it!

[@TERMIN8TOR99]

They have to accept therapy dogs. 😏

[@SchoandJo]
