[@griddlemethis8804]

Loved today’s music that you chose, keep up the great work!

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Another great video.

[@patrickmcguire628]

Great show, thanks! Every time you talk about Pivot I think of metanoia. That's a good thing, especially today.

[@waynegilbert7535]

So many great places for butter tarts but a good one that can be found all over are Rachel's Tarts. They're made in Trenton but available all over

[@SchoandJo]

Ooh cool, will have to be on the lookout next time we are in the area!

[@geoffreywalter6953]

I am really enjoying watching your videos. You are extremely good at what you do.

[@SchoandJo]

Aww, thanks for watching Geoffrey!

[@laurawhite8442]

We were so thrilled to see y'all at the Swift Rapids Lock. We absolutely love your videos because watching them gives us all the memories of our time on the Loop. We greatly appreciate all your hard work to capture it. ❤

[@northlander4370]

glad you guys are enjoying the trent severn but you do struggle with the lake names , lol.

[@bshepherdster]

I live in Orillia and you walked past Wilkie's Bakery when you went to the Lone Wolf Cafe, they have amazing butter tarts.

[@SchoandJo]

Oooh, darn!

[@doncritzer2798]

The lock at 8:30 Able Seaman Olly is only crew member wearing USCG approved life jacket..... heeza goo boy

[@derylcracknell8853]

Hey guys. I live on the north shore of Lake Couchaching. Glad you enjoyed our area. We enjoy taking guests to the marine railroad. Everyone is always impressed. Looking forward to more adventures.

[@SchoandJo]

Haha I bet that's a hit with your guests Deryl! Thanks for watching

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Pulling into Anchorage AK in 1983 (June) passed Mirror Lake. Said to my buddy "look at those idiots swimming in this weather". We drove from south Florida and were wearing sweats and hoodies. Next summer I was one of those idiots in the water celebrating my 21st birthday.

[@michelbedos9371]

We were put on the old marine rail lock even when we told them we were heavy and with a 14 foot beam a tad on the wide side. We requested to use the new, at that time (42 years ago), rail lock. We were told it was out of service at the time. Well, we were the first boat of the day to use the old wooden rail lock and as it turned out we were the last. As soon as we were off the boat it started to move down and soon became a runaway. They lost all control of it and as soon as the boat reached the end of the railway instead of coming to a slow stop it just kept going at full speed in to the water. A very big splash we saw as it drove into the water cradle and all. A baptism of sort as we were in a new water system with one lock to go before entering the Georgian Bay. The following year as soon as they saw us arrive, we were directed to the new marine railway.

[@karenprice5439]

Awesome video..So glad to know u enjoyed it ... Our favorite areas to boat....🇨🇦🇨🇦⚓⚓

[@SchoandJo]

It was lovely meeting y'all on this day! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

I loved this video! I can see why you are a bit sad to leave the Trent Severn…I loved seeing the towns and homes along the water…such beauty all around! I’m looking very forward to THE BIG CHUTE! Oh and I would have been bundled up too if I was cruising along with you…I definitely seem to be colder than most! Safe travels!

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks, Suzanne! Hope you enjoy the sights of the Big Chute! We've been looking forward to this for a while!

[@610boating5]

I do enjoy your interactions with other boaters and the locals including the lock workers.

[@bertshutler5973]

Rachels's butter tarts, Trenton, ON

[@garryvanzandt1785]

I am so pleased that you enjoyed our Canadian water systems. We have done the Trent Severin several times and making it a quest again this year in a newer boat to us. . Your video brings back so many fond memories of great times and meeting so many wonderful people on our travels.

[@SchoandJo]

Hope you enjoy your trip this year! Thanks for watching Garry!

[@jeremystory6981]

End of video 😂😂

[@gothatawaychrisandsandra]

My favourite "lock" on the TSW!

[@paulbromell8018]

We stayed in that exact same slip in Orillia a few days after you.

[@mikepech6822]

I knew you guys would love this last stretch if you liked the first stretch. When Jesus was still in diapers, I had an old 20' woody. We used to use the old chute. It was quite an experience. You guys are big into the cooking thing, My ex makes awesome buttertarts with either plain, or almonds, or walnuts. Look them up on the net. I'm sure there are recipes. If you like the commercial ones, you'll love your own. I'm still chuckling about you guys wearing winter clothes lol.

[@mb-br6lc]

Love it, love it ,love it, can’t wait to watch you go over the big chute , just wondering if you ever considered doing a top ten of your favourite places on the loop?

[@SchoandJo]

Maybe after we post-crossing our wake, we'll do some recap videos like that! Cheers

[@randyw069]

timhortons from the store is way diffrent than from the outlet,I hope you got to try the real tim's coffee

[@oldhobo5610]

The northern part of the TSW is beautiful. Too bad you did not have time to explore some of the side lakes and channels. Some intereting places to anchor out. Next time maybe?

[@SchoandJo]

Next time, no doubt!

[@cujoxxx3849]

If you come to Sault Ste Marie, you can get a bacon butter tart

[@SchoandJo]

Wow haven't heard of that one!

[@lauravalerius4667]

Too funny to see you bundled up in coats and locals tubing and playing on the water with no coats in sight!

[@SchoandJo]

Haha no kidding...

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Curious if you may have changed/added to your route since had to put on hold in 2021(?). Know you didn't do Dismal Swamp again, but was the Big Chute in the original plan?

[@andrewwylie2117]

Temperature-it’s like when Canadians go south in the winter and so happy to be wearing shorts while the locals are wearing pants and jackets

[@mvperseverance]

Do you have glow plugs to warm on your engine before starting it?

[@julieculshaw4031]

hope you listened to some Gordon Lightfoot while there, it's his home town.

[@Alcochaser]

Boat train !

[@Alcochaser]

Butter tarts are the best

[@SchoandJo]

💯💯💯

[@doogl2331]

Not sure if I missed it but do get some real maple syrup before leaving Canada

[@theElrin]

Are you sure you were in Orillia? Cute?

[@SchoandJo]

Definitely!
