Sailboat Traveling The Intracoastal Waterway

[@WickedSalty]

Thanks for all the good comments! Makes me feel good about all the time that goes into them! Stay tuned

[@fishin4bogey]

I just love you two!! Great video, as usual. I would imagine you're in Florida by now.

[@rlacy1229]

My father and I pasted you guys on this day headed south! how crazy is that! I really enjoyed the ICW and the time with my father. You guys are living the dream and helping others realize its within reach. Safe travels and God bless

[@paulmorrow3053]

"Wha da ya want?" Great name for a boat!

[@SVSouthernCross]

Great video! You two are always fun to watch. The ICW looks like a complicated maze, but you make it look easy.

[@jerseyviewerguy]

Looks like you could use a cockpit enclosure.

[@GallagherLawOffice]

Have been watching all your episodes. They are great - thanks for posting!

[@hpeterson10579]

SOOOO am i the only one that cant stop laughing at "Bone sucking sauce?" must be a long day at work for me. I hope you guys enjoyed North Carolina... welcome to my state (even if you are miles away by now) safe travels.

[@steelaway3531]

Keep the videos coming! I love following your journey. You're inspiring me to keep at it and get my boat in the water. Thanks!

[@jaymemcleod40]

Another nice video, well done. A few more days and you could be in the Abacos. If you decide to come across the gulf stream, let us know and we'll share what worked for us. Come to Hope Town, the weather is warm and the Kalik is cold.

[@tonygrella9542]

Hi still with you and enjoying your adventure. I worry for the little one falling off. Stay safe.

[@sadlerlove]

You guys are great! Love all your videos--but the newer ones are getting even better. Yes that spot at Isle of Palms is baaad. Saw an ~80' Army Corps boat/ship grounded there couple of weekends ago. Maybe he was testing to see if it really needed dredging. LOL!

[@sailorjohn2224]

Southern tugs always take their half out of the middle, I found that if I didn't squeeze to the side right away they would give me some room. If they pass really close then their bow wave would turn me towards them. I carried 6 ft draft and would bump the bottom trying to stay off them. I always stayed away from them on tight turns and once a boat passed me when I stopped to give them room and he ended up buried in the tall grass. 19 year liveaboard several trips up and down ICW.

[@walteramory7010]

I was the guy in the white pickup at the Gilmerton wishing I was the one sailing down the ICW. :)

[@sailingcruiser25]

Very entertaining! Keep up the good work.

[@RobertTully784]

Wooo Hooo, I started in Norfolk last year also, Had a blast. I have a few videos up. It took me two sailboats LOL. Have fun guys. I went from Little Creek to Jacksonville, Fl

[@Ingeanous]

Ha ha, sounds like the bridge keeper got to work a little late...

[@titustiger27]

"Was I tapping?" great ending!

[@93mikep]

great job guys - look forward to each of your updates (laughed at your bridge keeper impression tonight). What has been your biggest challenge and/or the most unexpected thing you have had to deal with? Two inches of snow and 24 degrees here today in Trainer, PA - on the Delaware River. Hope your weather has improved and you have a chance to take the jackets off soon.

[@forrestwiley9866]

You Three are doin good....obviously you are much further south than your videos indicate but the main thing is you are getting close to warmer weather. Well kinda sorta..... Down here in Jacksonville it will be almost 70.today it's .68 at 1:30 but tonight it's going to be in the low 40's. High tomorrow of 63 with low of 27....the Front will pass and be back up to 60 Sat...Sun 72..... Keepa Smilin.....Life is Good....

[@jtuner119]

Love the videos. Definitely not thanksgiving. I've been following your channel since before you had 100 subscribers. Keep up the good work. I'll look out for you guys next time you come back through chesapeake bay.

[@goodday5570]

It is the Great Bridge of Great Bridge Chesapeake, VA. The battle of Great Bridge was fought there during the civil war . A little bit of history,

[@AmerijamAcres]

If you decide to visit Jamaica let me know. Don't know much about docking he but I can offer hit showers and a place to do launder. Not to mention a home cooked meal.

[@indianglock]

Congratulations on your cigar... What do you want!!!

[@ttemple298]

You shop like I do! I can drop $400 bucks in 15 minutes! LMAO Lovin the adventure you guys! Thank you for posting!

[@jackgray1982]

I have really enjoyed your videos their awesome

[@WickedSalty]

Thanks Jack, I appreciate it. Much more to come!

[@mark211257]

can we see more scenery instead of selfies please, from england good luck on your travels

[@WickedSalty]

but first, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZXInnmcl7hofpI

[@Bubblytubebob]

Don't get me wrong .I love your videos and I know you will be putting up your sails one of these videos. lol I'm a sailor and may be traveling the ICW on my way from Lake Superior to the Caribbean. I just forgot to put on my last comment . Cheers.

[@MrCaptbear42]

Do you remember the lowest fixed bridge height on the ICW?

[@WickedSalty]

I believe 65' with variations depending on tide. Always check the charts though! :)

[@smacksman1]

Tuttle Causeway Bridge in Miami is 54ft from memory. All the others are 62 to 65ft. You can sail outside in the Atlantic to avoid the Tuttle though.

[@WickedSalty]

Good to know, coming up!

[@BlueRidgeMarine]

Who cares if they motor or sail? It's their adventure! Thumbing-up

[@DanielleBeaty]

This is where I currently live, right above Coinjock. If you're ever sailing back through and need a house to call home, our doors are open! AND we can get you more Bone Suckin' Sauce. LOL.

[@labrat85]

Ha! you're correct it's not even close to Thanksgiving!

[@MyGlobe2025]

How did you guys get to the ICW without going through the Dismal Swamp? I'm about to make this passage for the first time South all the way to Miami and I've been told that Dismal is the only way to connect with the ICW from the Chesapeake. I'd really appreciate your input...

[@WickedSalty]

Great Bridge route to coinjock/ Albemarle and Chesapeake canal, there's two ways great bridge or dismal swamp. Dismal swamp is I believe a lot more shallow. You leave Chesapeake bay through the main part and enter Norfolk Virginia, then start the ICW in Portsmouth Virginia and take Great bridge route. It's the main route on ICW charts, We used traveling the AICW by Kettlewell, latest edition.

[@MyGlobe2025]

Wicked Salty I'm in Solomons Island and currently with no car. Maybe Zahniser's has this at their ship store and I could boat over there. Thanks for the help!

[@MyGlobe2025]

Wicked Salty I'm going to look into the Great Bridge route. Thanks!!

[@WickedSalty]

Globe's Mine West marine has it too I believe? (maybe not) Check that but that could be a good place too

[@kanguruprodutions]

Hi, I really like your videos :) Can you tell me what boat is yours, and how many ft does it have, i'm thinking of buying one... What cameras do you use to film ? Keep up with the good work!

[@kanguruprodutions]

Btw Where/How did you lean to sail ?

[@salgiron]

I've seen half of the videos. I command you two on your spirit of adventure. However... The trip through the Bay's, anew York, the channel... It's an amazing and fun route. So if you are open to suggestions, please try to heed to the following: This are not videos about your sail adventures. These are videos about YOU! From a marketing point of view, the viewer sees your face telling a story 84% of the time, even when the subject matter is passing by... You have three great advantages: 1- Your clear voice... We understand what you say... 2- An amazing spirit to do what you wanted and all the background you need for dynamic quality videos! 3- You have got your secret weapon. Kate! Let her be more in the recordings. Let her be part of the crew. Not part of the fixtures. She is beautiful, smart, she sounds like a woman with purpose, and that voice!!! Right away you know she is not a dumb blond. She can increase your viewer spectrum... And when you are filming, pan the camera away from your face. That gives your audience the chance yo see what you see. Have the same feeling you have. Talk and explain, so they can experience your environment. Try taking videos of your surroundings, then edit them over with your voice describing the moment. The whole thing it's nice, but if people want to see a face for more than 80% of the time on the film... I think we'd feather see Kate.

[@jackhoffman7805]

Should have invested in a bimini

[@643manning]

Based on your Video you must be in Charleston, SC or beyond by now. I wish you guy's had called me before so I could give you some helpful hints on the Ditch water depths. Maybe you could avoid grounding. If now in Charleston Give me a call or leave a message and I will call you. I have been following your videos since the beginning. I can really help with local information.

[@WickedSalty]

Isle of Palms was the WORST for depth! But luckily my Dad just moved to Charleston a year ago and I had been warned, but all you can do is go slow in those occasions. We stayed with my dad at Charleston for a little less then a week, have since relocated to St. Augustine, FL... much warmer! Stay tuned for the Charleston videos to come!

[@Bubblytubebob]

Why did you buy a sail boat if all you ever do is motor around? You would have 6 times the room if you were in a power boat of the same size. Plus you'd never need to be freezing your butts off in nasty weather.

[@smacksman1]

Sailboats have smaller engines so cheaper to run. Not many places where power boats can really open their taps - lot of 'no wake zones' restricring all craft to under 6 knots in the south. Sailboats can have heaters/aircon too.

[@WickedSalty]

***** Every sail boat that passes us on the ICW is under power only. I think the first boat that passed us under sail was yesterday on the ICW (in Florida) There are many stretches of the ICW that restrict you to sail. Sorry for the let down.

[@WickedSalty]

Do you know how much more $ you spend on fuel in a power boat, besides sailboats are cooler :P

[@jerseyviewerguy]

Wicked Salty It looked like the last time you sailed was into Sandy Hook bay, no?

[@dextersxxxxlab]

I have the feeling you guys have Just a little amount of cabin lights onboard. Why don't you install some led lighting. It is cheap and uses Just little power. It Will make life on board much nicer in my opinion. And if you are afraid of a drained battery Just buy a second one Just for lights and stuff. And buy a solar panel
