Charleston to Conway, SC - Great Loop Cruising - Are We Cut Out For This??

[@mikeandshawnahual4072]

Love your return to the Loop adventure. Thank you so much for the time you put into these videos.

[@PatIreland-k5i]

Great that the loop is treating you with an interesting experience. Certainly encouragement for others if they choose to loop.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Hi Cherie & Chris! Your adventure looks like a lot of fun, thanks for sharing. We hope you both are doing great!

[@davidhagler6157]

Thanks so much for sharing more of your journey. I still wear my 'Y Not' shirt from way back in the patreon days. Really enjoy you both and appreciate you sharing your experiences. Cheers.

[@ridingtheroad185]

You both look and sound SO HAPPY!!! It's great to see the adventures, including the gremlin shenanigans!! 😃🙄

[@Technomadia]

The gremlins just add to the adventures.. but wouldn't mind them taking a vacation :)

[@garygoodwin5961]

Great to see you two back on Y-Knot!!!! My wife and I started watching you way back when you were still looking for a boat.

[@Technomadia]

Thanks for being along for the ride!

[@robertmdaniels]

In spite of the challenges, your enthusiasm shone through it all.

[@LisaRobison-yb1kw]

Your demonstrater Bob made me giggle! Been keeping track of your journey on FB. Looks like you guys are really enjoying yourselves! Safe travels!😊

[@johnnylightning1491]

Yes I do enjoy following your boating adventures. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@jodiplock4784]

[@debsvista2281]

Always enjoy watching your adventures! See ya on the next one. Safe travels!

[@sutliffgnassi9925]

If you don’t want to quit and stuff it all at least once on an adventure, you’re playing it too safe! Love you guys! You look great!

[@Technomadia]

So true!

[@gthornton3]

Love y’all’s journey.

[@treciahamm2931]

Good to see you out again on YNOT. Always enjoy your videos. Been watching for years now. safe travels.

[@Technomadia]

Thanks for continuing to be along for the journey!

[@danielprice9997]

Conway is a great side trip. Good for you!

[@Technomadia]

So totally worth the while! We hope more explore it.

[@saralake1296]

Loving every minute of your adventure.

[@Technomadia]

Glad to have you virtually aboard!

[@pepperpepperpepper]

Awesome.

[@theabsolutetruth2024]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Been following loopers lately with the hopes that things may line up and afford me the opportunity to pursue this in the not too distant future. That being said, one question if I may since you're "back on the loop" yourselves? We're in mid July now. Are your plans to try and make the turn south past the Great Lakes before the colder months set in? If so, do you feel any time constraints or pressure to get underway and make that turn to the south?

[@Technomadia]

We are 'Sloopers' (slow loopers) and doing this over many years - check our last video where we answered all of those questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqeQqmyKitd9f9k

[@StanleyTyler-zr7ki]

I wasnt here for the boat selection. What kind of boat did you finally choose?

[@Technomadia]

Y-Not is a Bayliner 4788 - here's a bunch more info: www.technomadia.com/y-not

[@StanleyTyler-zr7ki]

@@Technomadia loved the video. Chris, are you an electrical engineer?

[@StanleyTyler-zr7ki]

@@Technomadia and, what is Technomadia?

[@Technomadia]

I actually got my degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, and was a few credits away from tacking on a third degree in Electrical Engineering.

[@Technomadia]

Technomadia is the blog name we came up with 18 years ago when we hit the road. “Tales From Technomadia” since we were technomadically traveling.

[@StanleyTyler-zr7ki]

Did you replace the radar?

[@Technomadia]

I am very tempted to switch from Garmin to Furuno radar, but for now that project is on the defer list. We tend to avoid conditions where radar is needed.

[@stevetadlock5223]

Like all Equipment...bottom line is "use it or lose it" When it sits without exercise it atrophy's. Just like the human body...you have been neglecting your boat and it's paying you back! Give your boat some loving care, spend time on her....Don't let her become a "Hanger Queen"...lol

[@Technomadia]

We have in no way neglected our boat. She has had regular service, updates and upgrades .. and cruising adventures. While we were based in Sanford for a few years - we were not idle. Including several short monthly cruises and multiple extended cruises. None of the gremlins mentioned are from 'neglect'. The steering pump.. was 25 years old. They are a wear and tear item, and ours was also in regular use (our lower actually failed during our sea trial). The radar? No idea what happened there - but certainly not paying Garmin $1200 to find out. It is only 7 years old, and we also regularly use it to track storms (which Florida has many of.) Oh. and it's 'dock queen', not 'hanger queen'.

[@normangarland6558]

Sorry but anyone that lives on the coast kows about the "quiting time" thunderstorms.. 4-5 ocllock everyday there is a good chance of sprinkles to the level you saw. :)

[@Technomadia]

We are very used to and familiar with typical afternoon thunderstorms - they are a great way to cool off. This was a lot more than that. 🤪

[@CLTGeek]

Do I need to send you some sticky pads to catch that gremlin? ;-)

[@Technomadia]

Ooo.. if you have one to spare... :D

[@TdwtSierraFan123]

You missed the best tourist attraction in Conway. A youtuber by the name of WingsofRedemption lives there aka Jordie Jordan.

[@Technomadia]

Not familiar with him.. looks to be a gamer? At any rate, as KZbinrs ourselves, we know we appreciate not being considered a 'tourist attraction' :D

[@glennkennedy441]

I have relatives in New Bern......hmmmm

[@lisapatrick1276]

Personally I would love to see more of what you’re seeing the towns and stuff lol 🙏 be safe!

[@Technomadia]

We prefer to just enjoy our experiences, instead of trying to capture everything and then have to edit it. Life is too short as is :)
