Fun Exploring Charleston Before Sailing North in the Atlantic (Take the Waters) S2:E4

After our brush with Tropical Storm Bertha, we hide away in the Charleston Harbor Marina. With the help of our electric scooters, we explore and have some fun in Charleston before it's time to sail again. Together we sail to Winyah Bay where we find a beautiful and secluded anchorage.

[@christopherkohel8555]

Jeezus! U guyz are pretty doggone funny. Love the slo-mo! Be safe, fair winds. Oh btw, LOVE Beneteau!(I dream of a 51.1 decked out for ocean passages)😁

[@brettagostini8025]

Any channel that references Napoleon Dynamite is on my Top Ten List!!! 🦙

[@TakeTheWaters]

He’s so happy someone recognized it!! 🦙 -Mandi

[@brettagostini8025]

Take the Waters What? Cinematic genius! Everyone should recognize it! If you ever make it here to Scranton we’ll have a viewing!! (But Scranton is landlocked. Sigh)

[@mr.smiley4263]

I’ve been told I don’t have a sense of humor hint the name 😂 but you guys are hilarious together!

[@JCrook1028]

Nicely done turning out to sea an killin an hour while the weather passed.

[@svamour4574]

Likeee the Napolean Dynamite reference. Keep up the good work, very entertaining. I hope you are having fun.

[@TakeTheWaters]

I was wondering if anyone would get that reference lol. Thanks! -Brian

[@clairesorg2486]

I want to her the profound words that will change mankind forever. I'm so glad you guys didn't get knocked out by the traffic stop thingy. That was a close call.

[@joshcanterbury5986]

👍👍

[@johnmagnan759]

So happy to see you two having a blast.

[@TakeTheWaters]

Thanks, us too! We’ve put in a lot of work to get here, so it’s nice to be finally be starting our fun exploring and sailing :) -Mandi

[@johnmagnan759]

Take the Waters I’m busting my butt to hopefully join y’all on the water some day. Have a party in the Bahamas on a remote uninhabited island.

[@justindonohue574]

You two are really funny, thanks for sharing.

[@CaptainSaltyPepper]

Mount Pleasant/Charleston then and now Annapolis! Wonderful foodie destinations. I used to run across that bridge you scooted across when I had my boat there.

[@TakeTheWaters]

I wanted to run across that. Everyone running made me feel so outta shape, but I did buy a pair of running shoes while there and started shorter runs. -Brian

[@davidpaddock362]

Love it Brain and Mandi! Charleston looked beautiful. Now Brian I’m going to take that shirt choice as you paying homage to your Aussie 🇦🇺 followers, thank you Sir 😁. Food looked amazing....those tacos 🤤 And finally not that I think you need reminding Brian but.....7:10 you lucky bugger! Stay safe 🇦🇺❤️

[@kaptainkirk719]

You guys crack me up Keep em coming !

[@reloadncharge9907]

Enjoyed Charleston.....fun vlog, thanks, Andrew

[@TakeTheWaters]

Thanks, Andrew! We had a great time in Charleston. We spent most of our time at this amazing place called Vicious Biscuits, but we figured no one wanted to see us gorge on biscuits for days on end 😄 -Mandi

[@ronaldoliver1700]

Lovely place to visit.

[@TakeTheWaters]

We had a lot of fun in Charleston, and such yummy food!! ~Mandi

[@svhappymondays]

E Scooters on the marina like that we have a word for people that do that in England, we call them thrushes 😋👍

[@Frindleeguy]

Is that a bad thing to be?

[@chriscarroll4169]

Awesome vid guys! I can’t believe neither one of you crashed on the scooters!

[@TakeTheWaters]

Thanks, Chris! Haha, we have our scooter game down! -Mandi

[@TheAegisClaw]

Scooters are a good idea. Maybe better than folding bikes?

[@nsw1959]

just found you guys and love your VLOG. I'm binge watching now. What kind of scooters? My wife and I need something just like that for our travels also!

[@TakeTheWaters]

So happy your checking out our stories! Those scooters have been the best purchase, Segway Ninebot Max. When we were in the Bahamas, and covid first happened, we couldn’t get our propane filled. It would have been an entire days walk and public transportation was not running. We ended up coming back to the states because of it. So... never wanting to be in that situation again... scooters! They’re a blast and we use them all the time - all powered by our solar panels! -Mandi

[@jeremiahjahn]

Starting to look easier. Really liked the scooter comedy tour.

[@TakeTheWaters]

The more we go out, the more comfortable we get! These scooters are amazing, one of the best things we did for traveling around since we don’t have cars. ~Mandi

[@jeremiahjahn]

@@TakeTheWaters I was telling my wife the other day, that most sailing channels make cruising look easy. You two on the other hand, not so much. I'm so glad you've stuck with it, and shared all of the hardships with us. Must have been the tears.. ;-)

[@Munkeez]

Great vid guys, hope y’all are doing well!

[@ianspencer8109]

Just saying, that's not Champagne, it's sparling wine, eh. Charleston looks like a beautiful city to add to the must visit list post Covid.

[@TakeTheWaters]

Haha, yep, sparkling wine! It’s a great spot to visit, lots to see and do ~Mandi

[@lifeexistentially6004]

We love going to Charleston. It has such a great vibe and food! I think we actually stayed at the hotel next to that marina last Christmas.

[@TakeTheWaters]

Mount Pleasant and the marina was a cute little area. And yes, Charleston has the best food!! We almost literally lived at a place called Vicious Biscuits 🤤 -Mandi

[@lifeexistentially6004]

@@TakeTheWaters that is our mainstay when were in town there!

[@frankmosuch6798]

The distances you are going with those electric scooters is far more than I would have expected. Its quite a Hike from the Aircraft Carrier over the bridge and into Charleston proper.

[@TakeTheWaters]

It is a hike! And keep in mind we rode around ALL of the downtown Charleston. These scooters have a range of 40 miles, max speed of 18mph, and feel like they go on forever. Best purchase we made for travel on land considering we don’t have cars -Mandi

[@frankmosuch6798]

@@TakeTheWaters All you need now is Folding Scooter trailers for Provisioning. Until your demo I would never considered a scooter for onshore transportation. Even at a real 20 miles it would be impressive. 40 is quite something.

[@haroldwallace544]

What is the brand of the scooter? I love them and would like to get a pair.

[@HeidiandFranny]

The camera died and you don't remember??! Ok, well... I guess we'll have to settle for a super fun ride through Charleston :). Those scooters were solid! Safe travels :) f

[@TakeTheWaters]

Hahaha 😂 Maybe it’s best this way. Yes these scooters are amazing!! Best purchase since we don’t have cars -Mandi

[@renem6441]

Are you using Windy app? Keep the videos coming have great sailings!

[@paulhaas4299]

Charleston is one of our favorite places. You are right about the food. What is the range of those scooters?? You went a lot of miles on that outing.

[@TakeTheWaters]

The range for Mandi is probably 35 miles. For me it's 20. We'll switch scooters half way through the day to even it out. -Brian

[@erichyney6287]

How long does a charge last on those scooters??. They look pretty awesome.

[@TakeTheWaters]

These things are amazing! Charge last for about 40 miles. I put a link in this videos description if you want to check them out. -Mandi

[@mr.smiley4263]

Does those scooters 🛴 run out of power or do they recharge as your driving them?

[@clifflong1203]

Really nice vibe to this vlog. How long do the scooters run on a charge? Seemed like they just go and go! Enjoyed the show!👌

[@TakeTheWaters]

Thanks! We had had some good times in this area. The scooters are awesome, and the charge lasts for about 40 miles. I put a link to them in the video description if you want to check them out :) -Mandi

[@robgagnon]

Lol, I loved that intro! Really enjoying travelling with you both. Gotta say that that section on the mast was making me nervous - how long did that take to get used to??

[@TakeTheWaters]

Thanks!! It makes me nervous too, which is why Brian’s up there lol. He took to it right away, literally couldn’t wait for me to pull him up there with the halyards. I think it mostly had to do with peoples individual comfort levels - Mandi

[@Frindleeguy]

Do you remember the current speed at 13:50? Looks like it's flying!

[@TakeTheWaters]

I sped up the video a good bit there. - Brian

[@clarkkent772]

So what kind of harness/climbing rig was that? My wife has suffered from chemotherapy and has lost the strength of her hands to handle sending up the mast. Need a plan B that I can do myself. Thanks.

[@clayfarnet970]

You guys look like seasoned sailors able to take on anything. How close to real time are your videos?

[@TakeTheWaters]

Our miles are racking up and looking forward to more ocean time! 😁 We left Charleston back in the end of June and now are in Annapolis -Mandi

[@oNeWiCkEd1]

Mehp mehp! Another great video, i wont be surprised next time. God bless! Edith: That sounded like I was expecting a horrible video, I did not. Rather, I won't be suprised if your next video is equally as god, or even better. High standards you have shackled yourself with now 😉

[@TakeTheWaters]

Haha, that’s awesome! Thanks for saying so. This video is a little different since we’re just riding around exploring with our GoPro, so it’s nice to hear you still found it to be just as great! Shackled we are, the pressure is on!! 😛 -Mandi

[@liongod1000]

*_ Ha Ha.....Says "What a Beautiful Tree", has a shot taken of herself! _*

[@TakeTheWaters]

But you should have seen that tree lol. - Brian

[@franz-josefvogt8346]

Don’t drink and drive 🥴🍺🍻😘

[@TakeTheWaters]

Always the best advise! We actually shot this over a few days with the same outfits on 😂😳🤫 But even still, we’re always safe about it ~Mandi
