Great video. A lot of work & a long day. Your doggie Ollie is so skilled at balancing on the side of the dingy. Doggies are such good companionship & endless entertainment.

[@SchoandJo]

Absolutely... we are lucky to have our pup onboard and be able to share the experiences with her!

[@tmac709]

It's pretty cool seeing so many boats anchored at those places you stopped by.

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks T Mac! There’s so many cool places to visit and not enough time!

[@MrRemphoto]

Great content. You deserve more subscribers.

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks for watching Rob! We take it day by day - cheers!

[@12000Jetlag]

In Boynton Beach you passed two great restaurants on the ICW. The Banana Boat and The Two George's. I always hit those up when I am in the Palm Beach area. When you passed Peanut Island you went past my boss's yacht. On the other side of Peanut Island is The Sailfish Marina and Restaurant. They have the best conch chowder!

[@pap91rt50]

Ten hours IS a long day...and add the rain...hmmm...not good. Another entertaining video!

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks for watching Larry! Its amazing what a 10 hour ride feels like now that we are accustomed to trawler time. 10 hrs in a car would be miserable but its not so bad on the water! Cheers!

[@KritikaSarin]

Enjoyed this day in a life video..so interesting to see ur day!! Will stay connected to you!!

[@SchoandJo]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@outofbounds218]

Love the detailed location videos. Stuart is our hometown, Hope you enjoyed our downtown. We could have met you both for dinner. Next time.

[@SchoandJo]

Next time for sure! You have a fantastic hometown - cheers!

[@frankrice5364]

Ollie is a great boat dog

[@SchoandJo]

We love having her onboard 😁 Thanks for watching Frank!

[@Jessicabollingercom]

At 14:23 that guy looked like he was as walking on the water…what was that? Love seeing Ollie loving boat life. Watching, exploring…

[@SchoandJo]

Wasn't that crazy! We had to share it... I think it was basically because it was a low tide in Jupiter and the water was just level with the shoal so it looked like the two people were walking on water... nice job noticing haha

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Stuart is my stomping ground -- I keep a boat in Manatee Pocket. Sad you did not have a chance to go ashore and explore downtown Stuart -- it is a charming town. Enjoyed the video.

[@SchoandJo]

Cool! Seems like a nice hurricane hole to keep a boat in... We made it to downtown the next morning but would definitely want to spend more time in the future!

[@mkrawats]

Love your videos. And your slow trawler. We appreciate all your efforts to produce these videos. Glad you enjoyed Delray Beach. Very vibrant town. Whenever you get a chance next time, hope u can stop by the free West Palm Beach City docks. Also, another wonderful town.

[@SchoandJo]

For sure... will be looking forward to trying out the West Palm Beach city docks next time. Thanks so much for watching Marc!

[@tedbethwarnock4698]

Awesome! Thank you for another great video. Love Love LOVE seeing your updates, & really appreciate how you show & tell it -- like it is! Bloopers too! Stay safe

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks so much Ted and Beth! We really appreciate you all watching - cheers!

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Last one. Promise. 😂Check launch schedules as you get near Canaveral. Not all launches are on NASA web site, think only ones from seen from ground. Other sites that I don't know list ones seen from water

[@SchoandJo]

Great Recommendation! We just came through for the Falcon 9 launch and it was pretty sweet!

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

You two are so fun to watch…you have such easy going personalities! Such a pleasure! It’s so nice to get to see all the places you are sailing through. I also love seeing your meals…they always look so yummy! I will say it every time…Ollie is adorable and so well behaved! How often do you have to take her to land? Safe travels!

[@SchoandJo]

Aww thanks so much Suzanne! We take Ollie to shore at a minimum of 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening and typically one or both of those includes a pretty long walk / hike. If we are at a dock then we take her out more... Its a good thing she loves to sleep all day 😁

[@johnwootton836]

Really enjoying your videos! We’re retiring this year and moving to a place we bought in Port Charlotte. We have two 45’ docks there - you guys are always welcome to one of them!

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks so much for the offer, John! Sounds like its going to be a fantastic year for y'all!

[@michaelhensley4102]

Love your videos thank you

[@richardoates5435]

If you plan to visit Oriental NC again I would enjoy the chance to meet you. We also have a MT34 docked the marina on your left as you enter the harbor. Either way safe travels.

[@SchoandJo]

Super cool! Sounds good - we will probably be visiting in a couple of weeks!

[@barelyafloatwithsteve3975]

Hi Guys, Great Video ‼️ It's so cool that you get to spend quality time with family on your Boat. I'm very glad there was no damage from running aground. Quick question, does towing your Dinghy hinder fuel economy much ? Have a Great Day and Stay Safe ‼️ 😊

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks Steve! We haven't noticed any changes in fuel economy or speed since we started towing it everywhere! Probably depends on your boat though, Pivot is already a big heavy boat so the drag probably is not as impactful as it could be with other vessels 😁

[@barelyafloatwithsteve3975]

@@SchoandJo Thank you ... Stay Safe ‼️🙂

[@johnmarschalk1977]

So sorry to keep commenting, but all my old memories keep popping into my head. Outflow from coal electric plant in Jupiter good place for Manatees. Nuke Plant just past Jensen Causeway. I think warm water to ocean but in 80's they were in cove in Indian River near plant. Drag a lure behind you cruising. Trout red fish snook almost everything in that water. Early for pompano but never know.

[@SchoandJo]

Haha never apologize for sending us comments we love it! Thanks so much for the tips John!

[@buckpowers4837]

A long day and it showed. covered lots of territory and those days later make you wonder why yu pushed so hard, Great trip and hope all goes great. Hang in there. Enjoy

[@SchoandJo]

As always thanks so much for watching Buck! So true on looking back and pushing hard - its give and take!

[@johnmarschalk1977]

School at old Coca-cola plantation. Conchy Joe's mainland side of Jensen Beach causeway has good food. Stayed at Pirates Cove marina in Stuart on way to keys (driving not boating) lots of restaurants walking distance from marina

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Lived 2 years in Stuart (actually Jensen Beach) college at FIT. 1980-82. Yeah I'm old. Just keep looping between Ft Lauderdale and Ft Pierce. I'll watch the channel like and watch commercials. Ready to go back. Just past Singer Island on right Tiger Woods and Greg Norman's house among others. Blowing rocks on Jupiter worth seeing if you have time and rough weather. Worth Island the Rodeo Dr of Florida

[@SchoandJo]

Oh how cool! How did you enjoy living in Stuart - seemed to be a fantastic city! Wish we knew about Blowing Rocks in Jupiter when we came through - really neat!

[@ClassXIRoads]

Moving along in the rain, maybe that kept a few boat off the water for the day , those tacos looked yummy. if you operate fred after dark do you need nav lights. Thank you for taking the time to edit and post these videos.

[@SchoandJo]

True that! I don't think we need nav lights on Fred, I think just an all around white light at the top. HOWEVER we could be wrong on that! We have an all around white but typically just use our headlamp - it would be nice to have a set on Fred at all times though! As always - thanks for watching James!

[@jacktyler7599]

Whew! L-o-n-g day for sure...especially for Ollie. Other YT videos are pointing to a Looper rendezvous in Charleston soon. If on your sked and okay to share, you might explain what's involved in that event. Or...at 7 kts, it may be beyond reach.

[@SchoandJo]

It was a long one for sure! We haven’t heard of the rendezvous just yet, any idea on the date?

[@alfredrogers6845]

Curious your audio and video were out of sync or was that at my end. The ads seemed normal though I really look forward to your videos.

[@SchoandJo]

Hmm I’m not sure…. Sometimes KZbin runs ads fine but the AV of the actual video gets out of sync. Normally refreshing and giving it a minute to buffer does the trick! If you notice it again let us know - thanks for watching Alfred!

[@harryfritter8266]

My go to dinner is bottom ramen ( ramen with the seasoning packet). But if I'm trying to impress the ladies, then it's top ramen (ramen with the seasoning packet, and a couple slices of lunch meat and a scallion).

[@SchoandJo]

Haha wow - you're quite the ramen specialist! I used to keep a 24 pk under my desk at work for mid day snacks

[@harryfritter8266]

@@SchoandJo Hahaha, that stuff is so horrible, but ate a lot in university. I really enjoy your channel. I love the marine trader, chb and grand banks trawlers. I almost bought a trader 34 double cabin last year. Your channel and the old tula episodes are my escape :-)

[@SchoandJo]

@@harryfritter8266 Right on! Thanks so much for watching! Hope that you get your perfect Taiwanese Trawler someday 😁

[@chenegabfree7617]

Enjoy your adventure..! How many hours on your main engine? Did I see 14000 on the meter?

[@SchoandJo]

Not 100% sure but the main gauges are not accurate... We go off of the secondary which read 1650! Their wasn't a rebuild and the previous owners mainly kept her at a marina so we think this is the correct number! Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@scotlengel7392]

Not pertinent to today’s video….yet I wanted to let you know that I treated myself to a Birthday cake from Smith’s Island Bakery last wee. It arrived in SoCal in perfect shape….Chocolate & peanut butter…..a fam favorite…….thanks for the tip !😋

[@SchoandJo]

Yumm! Sounds delicious! Cheers and happy belated! 🥳

[@barelyafloatwithsteve3975]

Hi Guys, I always appreciate the History and information that you put into your videos. I don't know if you can or want to answer this type of question, but the tech sites never answer me. You've mentioned editing your videos from time to time. I have a 30 year old daughter that has learning disabilities, but is pretty good with computers and enjoys KZbin. I'm on a fixed income but would like buy her a computer and camera so she can make videos and learn to do some basic editing. Would it be possible for you to list some minimum specifications I should look for so I don't waste my money, and my Daughter has something that will last her awhile. I realize this isn't what you do and that you're very busy. So if I don't hear back from you about this, I fully understand. Have a Great Day and Stay Safe ‼️ 😊

[@SchoandJo]

Hey there! So the editing software that we use to make our videos is called Adobe Premier Pro. It is very resource intensive and probably wouldn't be suitable unless it was very serious. Adobe does make an app called Premier Pro Rush - you can possibly check out that or similar apps for creating videos from an iPad or smart phone. In fact, I know of several great KZbin channels all run entirely off a smart phone! Besides that, for cost effective machines, I've heard great things about Google Chromebooks but I don't know the price or what video editing software is available. Sorry we cant be of more help!

[@barelyafloatwithsteve3975]

@@SchoandJo Thank you, I do appreciate it and I will research the information you provided me. Thanks again, and Stay Safe ‼️🙂

[@johnmarschalk1977]

And water is normally clear as I see in video. Don't ever remember it being brown.

[@SchoandJo]

Right on! Super pretty water 🤙

[@frankrice5364]

You guys need to do some bright works on your wood

[@johnsummers9434]

Hi, your videos are getting much better but why are you constantly oversteering? Most boats will hold a straight course and any minor variations will self correct. Keep up the good work, very enjoyable.

[@SchoandJo]

Thanks so much for watching John! Honestly, Pivot is our first boat so we don't have anything to compare the steering to. With little to no current and wind (rare conditions), Pivot will hold course but the vast majority of the time we need to steer to keep Pivot in line. Could be because of our hull design, weight, windage, not sure! Cheers!

[@anguslafeyette6891]

Ditch the loop. Slow down. The Mississippi is a toilet, nothing like what you are experiencing on east coast.

[@SchoandJo]

Hi Angus! I think most Loopers are only on the Mississippi for a few days before taking the offshoots... we have heard bad things but we are excited to experience it. We can always slow down after experiencing the entire Loop. Cheers!
