Always appreciated the help lading at a new marina.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Hello Mike! YES! We always try to help if we can. Every scenario is different, so it just helps the nerves :)

[@greensdreams]

Thanks for sharing our beautiful waterways for all of us to see. Roll on down the rivers.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you for your support!! We appreciate it!

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Once again you have out done yourselves. Appreciate the time you devote to making the videos when you could be doing anything else.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you John! We truly appreciate that! It does take time, but Bob really does enjoy the creative process! Thank you for watching!

[@StarShine_ShineOn]

My new morning routine: Wake up, brew some coffee, feed the doggie, and see if you all posted a new video. You did! Today's gonna be a good day 😂. Thanks guys!

[@cruisingandromeda]

Awwww, you are so sweet! Thank you so much! We appreciate you! :)

[@mikebikeboy]

Thanks for the birthday candy! I was the sailboat docked across from you, I was riding around on that unicycle and had the two little dogs. You really made my birthday!

[@cruisingandromeda]

HELLO! I have thought of you many times! Are you still cruising? It was so nice to meet you :)

[@mikebikeboy]

[@cruisingandromeda]

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you Steve! The nice weather was a welcome change! We appreciate your support along this journey!

[@careykaeding4542]

how to cool to see this! ive been slowly watching your journey and i love it. I keep my boat at GTB so its cool to see someone else enjoying the beauty this area has to offer.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you so much Carey! We loved GTB! It was such a great place! :)

[@davidoden]

Thanks for sharing. I live in Western Kentucky and get to enjoy both Barkley and Kentucky lake every summer. Have a safe trip

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you David! What a beautiful place to call home! Thank you for watching! :)

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

In my 60 years of sailing I would call that docking! Not mooring ! When I moored I was attached to a mooring ball! I have wanted to do this great loop! 😁🛫

[@cruisingandromeda]

Yes! You are correct! We caught that after we posted! Thank you so much for watching!

[@DrJohn493]

As a way back when (Gulf) coast coastal S/V cruiser I really do not understand inland sailboating. I guess to diehard sailboaters it's any patch of water will do. But it's darn hard to get the SaltLife outta my veins. What great harbor host greaters!! Harbor hosts seem to be the equivalent of trail angels for those of us who mix in some Colorado Trail backpacking with our distant, wistful boating life. Thanks for sharing some of the southeastern waterways I'll never have a chance to experience first person.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Yes, Harbor Hosts are so helpful and ready to assist! Thank you Dr. John! :)

[@bigdave4863]

From the cut, going from Lake Barkley to the Kentucky Lake, south past Paris Landing State Park to New Johnsonville is my old stomping grounds. Grew up on the Kentucky Lake, fishing, skiing, and pleasure boating. Not a more beautiful place in the US!

[@cruisingandromeda]

Dave, what a stunning area! We all said we need to spend the summer here once just to explore all the beautiful waterways!

[@karlmacburnie1573]

In my aviation years we called Visibility Unlimited and no clouds- Severe Clear. Enjoying your adventures.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Severe Clear- I love it! We will have to remember that! Thank you for watching!:)

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

Also known as CAVU clear air unrestricted visibility! 😁🛫

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

Another great episode, hope to see you on the water

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you! That would be fantastic! Thank you for supporting us on this adventure!! :)

[@ATAP...AnotherTime]

Beautiful area, I Built my Houseboat in damumbers Bay right by the green turtle. Spent months in those bays. 👍 Take that advice, stay in one spot for a few months, then move on....

[@cruisingandromeda]

The houseboats we saw were incredible! Being from Michigan, they are new to us. One friendly boater gave me a tour of his. So much space! Thank you for watching! :)

[@lynngatlin4469]

I try to find all the loopers that come through my state just to see what their comments are about the area. I use to have a cabin south of Paris landing by river quite aways by land though. I especially like to see the comments when they stay on Tennessee instead of taking tom biggbee waterway south an take a few days to venture on over to Chattanooga its pretty up around Kentucky lake but it's breathtaking once you get into the Cumberland plateau in middle Tennessee an than just absolutely beautiful when you get into east Tennessee near Chattanooga.

[@cruisingandromeda]

We were blown away by the beauty here! We both said we have to come back and spend some real time here exploring! Thank you for the great suggestions! :)

[@brianbuchanan2414]

Great video, and editing

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you so much Brian! :)

[@boataxe4605]

I steer with my feet too, but for some reason I don’t get the same attention when I do it.

[@cruisingandromeda]

HAHAHA! Seriously!! A little unexpected lol. But it is so comfortable in slow, easy waters!! :)

[@karikarr6377]

Ditto what everyone else said - and with snow here in Northern Michigan today (finally!), it’s fun to fantasize about ‘boat life’. Whets my appetite for spring!! (But, ahem, where was Ollie?! You need to give that dog at least a minute or so of screen time each week!)

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you Kari! We saw the snow today! What a crazy winter so far! We will work on more Ollie footage! :D Thank you for following along with us! We appreciate it!

[@fiddlist1934]

I hope you got to eat at Pattis’s while you were there in Grand Rivers.

[@cruisingandromeda]

We did it! It was AWESOME. Near the end of S2E14 there is a clip of us sitting on the patio. They were kind enough to let us bring Ollie and Sulley but we had to sit outside. Which was actually great! The food was terrific and I think there is a shot of Scott's Mile High Meringue Pie! It was huge!

[@wk845]

I’m from western Kentucky. The lake names are Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. It’s a common error to call the latter “Barkley Lake.” The lake is named for a U.S. Vice-President from the area. Kentucky Lake is a beautiful cruising area with many wonderful bays and coves in which to anchor. The water of Lake Barkley is more shallow and has fewer accessible bays. I noted that you came through in November. For the viewers of your channel who may follow in your wake: Starting in late summer, both lakes are gradually drawn down to “winter pool” that is FIVE FEET lower than “summer pool.” The draw down is usually complete in mid-November. Caution must be exercised when boating in the bays, especially on Lake Barkley. In fact, at winter pool on Lake Barkley, one can run aground just by getting outside of the main channel. At the end of March, the lakes are brought up to summer pool which is reached at the beginning of May.

[@cruisingandromeda]

Wow! GREAT information! Thank you! We loved it here and have talked about coming back. Thank you for sharing that!

[@paulbalcer2369]

Great videos, thanks for sharing your adventure. New viewer and also loop boat hunter. What make and model is Dreamer? Thanks

[@cruisingandromeda]

Thank you Paul! Dreamer is a Krogen Express. It is an incredible boat! I believe it is 52 or 56 feet. You can see them on facebook on SULLEY DOES THE LOOP. Thank you for watching and happy boat hunting! :)

[@rbrunelle1958]

Can you add the date that the video was filmed in the description please?

[@cruisingandromeda]

We are typically about to 4/6 weeks behind real time. But some of our travels and delays change that from time to time...but that is our goal. We also try to release a new episode weekly. Thank you for watching!

[@BrianStDenis-pj1tq]

Can you share some info about what speed you cruise at and what your economy is? Sounds like you go about 9 knots?

[@cruisingandromeda]

Hi Brian, I tried to share our fuel burn spreadsheet on here and it wont take it. If you email us at [e-mail] we can share our spreadsheet! Thank you

[@brianpeck-um5kk]

Fort Campbell, KY.. not TN

[@cruisingandromeda]

Oops! Thank you for that! :)

[@robmitchell3633]

What do yall do for medical issues like if you get strep throat or pneumonia for example?

[@cruisingandromeda]

Hello Rob! We both met with our Primary Doctor before we left, and he was able to give us a script for an anti inflammatory, anti biotic and a script for a steroid before we left which we filled and have on the boat. (We did the same for our dog Ollie) We had full checkups, and we told him exactly what we were doing so he was able to talk us through what to bring. He also said to just call anytime we had questions. Great question! Thank you for watching! :)

[@robmitchell3633]

@@cruisingandromeda ah ok cool. I figured a doctor might do that for someone going on an adventure

[@daleolson3506]

The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎💩😬😬😬

[@cruisingandromeda]

Sorry you didn't care for the music. Thank you for watching though! :)
