TOOK A WAVE OVER THE BOW

We had a long day waking at 3am to time the currents correctly in the C&D Canal. We transited the canal quickly with a favorable tide and began our decent down the Delaware bay. As the bay widened and the ind increased we began getting bombarded by waves abeam. We abandoned our destination to Cape May to take cover in Lewes, DE.

quite the sailor Capt. Billy, running tides ,navigating with AIS, knowing when to seek shelter. Your an impressive young man with a great crew. thanks for taking us along on the adventure.

[@thpyhunt218]

You guys should have like a million subscribers

[@petersteitz200]

When I worked for Clearwater Yacht Sales, we delivered new boats from the port of Miami, up to Stuart and across the Okeechobee to Clearwater. Once we were being chased by a tropical storm and crossing the Tampa Bay inlet had green water over the bow on a boat with nothing except paper charts and one radio. Fun times. Also did the Chesapeake Bay summers and sailed out of Naples, FL. You two are having the time of your life.

[@MannyCAM]

Great video! So nice to see young people so close to each other. You two make an awesome couple. Jetti completes the picture.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

ah thanks so much Manny!

[@MannyCAM]

Tula's Endless Summer : My pleasure:)

[@k25824]

Out of all the cruising channels on KZbin, this one is by far my favorite.

[@johnmcgee6127]

Hi Billy , my wife and I (John and Diane ) were thrilled when we ran into you at Atlantique beach yesterday , we love your travels . You guys are great, keep up the great work. Hope to see you at the beach ..give a hug to Jetty and Sierra best regards , John McGee

[@HousesBuiltTiny]

I can't say enough how appreciative we are that you never use foul language or inappropriate gestures. My family and I love to watch you guys in your adventure and thank you again for keeping it clean it's good family entertainment

[@garyfreeman8523]

I watch a lot of sailing/boating channels, and yours is my favorite. Seems so calm and peaceful.

[@rickseifert9040]

I'm very proud that I got to meet Billy yesterday at his home beach!!! Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Sierra or Jetty, but it was really cool to meet you Billy. Keep doing what you do.

[@rogerz3417]

The Delaware Bay where we fish can turn to absolute snot in a heartbeat...

[@jondelaine9938]

Make my night from a guy who has been a fan from the start. I want a shout out from Serria, please. I love you guys and especially Jetty.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

One of my favorite channels. You are in my old sailing grounds. I live in CO now but hope to return to the coast for a couple years soon. Take care!

[@jpthedelawarebeeman6239]

The Lower Delaware Bay can be Nasty if you're caught off guard but that can happen anywhere.Glad you made it to your destination safely.

[@ralphholiman7401]

Thanks for the shot of the chart plotter. It's fun to see where you were when you were filming. Great videos! Enjoying them a lot!

[@cookiedoe499]

Hi guys...nice views...can't wait for part two. I like introspective with Jetty. Hope y'all are liking your jobs this season.

[@gregwebster8784]

Miner! That boat can handle way heavy seas than that. I wish I had videos from commercial fishing here in the North Pacific on boats just like yours. You have a solid boat.

[@robertl2476]

I'm glad you made it back to Long Island. What a beautiful place we have! I live in Suffolk County after being raised in Vermont. I hope your life guard jobs are going well!!! Bob in Selden, NY

[@billhooker3006]

Why did the theme song for Gilligan's Island keep playing in my head?.....lol Poor Jetty was stressing out with mama.

[@jeremyhogan9603]

Hey, I just happened upon one of your VLOGS last week and wound up watching like 8hrs straight of them one night at work! I fell in love with you guys. Your beautiful water home, your explorations, and your great team work, and of course JETTY. I am hooked!

[@jdmac62]

This is where we boat. There is a cool restaurant right past the bridge in Chesapeake City called the Chesapeake Inn. Poor Jetty!

[@judyfriend6634]

My old stomping grounds, the Chesapeake Bay and C & D Canal. Boating on the Chesapeake is great. So many places to go to.

[@kleobluewater]

Man love the adventure ⚓️

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks Jesse!

[@jesserevilla6331]

Tula's.. yes will checkout the websites

[@advgabe]

You guys should def get an AIS radio when the budget allows. They are the perfect tool when you are near shipping lanes, plus more and more pleasure boats are using it. Good stuff!

[@shipdog44]

Great videos! I'm planning my first trip from Miami to the Bahamas next summer. I've been taking notes. Maybe I'll see you there. Stay safe and enjoy!

[@americanpatriot6240]

Can Jetty have pups? I need one. She is the coolest dog. Y'all have a great summer. Love the vids.

[@philipkennedy8085]

I always used to get gas at the docks at 5:51 in the c&d canal. years ago prior to my grandpop passing away we would go on a cruise every summer. we would start north In the delaware river near Florence Nj and cruise down the river to the c&d canal. go through it and that was where we would stop to top off the tanks. I had a 31' jersey cabin cruiser/fly bridge. when I was even younger I would go on this cruise on my grandpop and grandmoms boat. A 38ft custom wood yacht. the C&D canal is a beautiful cruise.

[@wickedkicks7197]

I know you're safe and sound in NY but that rough weather had us nervous!! Much much love from Orlando Fl! Hubby and I and boat hunting- going to get our captains licenses before we start shopping for our trawler. Enjoy NY, grew up in Boston I do NOT like cold weather LOL. Xo, Nick and Mo

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Very relaxing intro

Always holds true red sky at night sailer delight red sky morning sailer take warning. I still go by this and I Capt. Mega Yachts. Love your Channel keep it up!

[@davidcurry2678]

I will have to find my video of me with my kids in a 16 foot tiller at Lake of the woods Mn. when we got caught in a unexpected wind storm an 6-7 foot swells. That said you guys are awesome! It has been fun watching your adventure

[@jpford1977]

Awww.....feel so bad for you......must seem like this trip never ended! Sorry you had such bad weather in my neck of the woods (Havre de Grace). Hey, I run navionics on an iPad with a grey/white lifeproof case! Love following your trip. Thanks for sharing!

[@tardogyz]

I just want to say ever time the boat went down wanted to help but then realized that it sometimes a couple of days later... we r in Canada and we have to go far to see stuff like what u guys do. Would love to help what I can help at all I know u guys r back to work but still like to help . If not this run hope there is one more. Thx guys it's the miss and I thing to watch

Those waves are like what we have on a clear sunny day

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

You are a bad ass

[@nocoolname32]

well, he's a shark, so, yeah

[@duayneclarke8366]

Tula's Endless Summer hey guy's that's a pretty cool website. I was just wondering do you have WiFi on the Neverland?

[@Nomad-yn7pv]

Broseph When I was in the Navy my destroyer hit 30 ft waves in the Indian Ocean, and I hear the price of tea in China is down.

[@Nomad-yn7pv]

Lol. It threw me out of my rack in the middle of the night, and that was on a 563' boat!

[@christophermeier1983]

Great video

So its been 10 years since I've done this voyage, though in the opposite direction, Picked up a hat that said, where in the hell is Coinjock.. Really enjoy reliving memories. Enjoy your journey: Fair winds and following seas,

[@liamsean9699]

Im subscribing because these videos are awesome and Im also sharing these videos

[@huggyjd]

Poor Jetty. My Jack Russel gets all stressed out when it thunders.

[@outdoorenthusiasts1739]

Was this the heaviest seas you have been in? Looks like your boat handled it well. I respect your decision to be safe by makeing a change in your course.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Some of the roughest in its unique way but I wouldn't really say the heaviest. She is a good ship!

[@kevbjork1]

Yep, it sucks bustin' into those waves. Was like that on Galveston Bay today.

[@chrisbee4702]

You're blessed bro

[@ChadHillInfoSciGuy]

Take it easy y'all!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks Chad! You too man!

[@fxpthl]

This is a really long journey for you guys. The jobs waiting for you up North must really be worth it to travel so far. The Neverland seems to be holding up quite well all things considered.

[@seanm8434]

Billy, your killing me with the elevator music. Haha.

[@anotherfreediver3639]

Great video as always ... but you didn't stop at Shaefer's Canal House on the C&D ... one of my all-time favourite restaurants!

[@stanthecomputerman]

I was starting to get seasick just watching!

[@summertop511]

Delaware bay always gets rough. Your on your way up to my parts. About a half hour up the intercostal from Atlantic City. Hope to pass by you guys!

[@fishbrains29]

Stay safe and god speed.

[@rideswithscissors]

Memories! Was there a magnetic disturbance in Delaware bay? Our compass went wacky there, and the chart mentioned it. All we had was dead reckoning, so it was charts and a parallel rule and a compass. And a pelorus.

[@peggyt1243]

I love marinetraffic.com I often track the ships coming into Key West.

[@wtfjpgmailcom]

Be safe guys

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

[e-mail] thanks!!!

[@VicsYard]

Just had to look if you guys uploaded a new video this week. I noticed you have 43,000 views and 43,000 Subscribers. That's cool.

[@steadmills3918]

Poor Jetty! I'm sure she is happy to be back in calm water. Love your videos. Will you guys be returning to Florida after the summer season winds down in Long Island? I know everyone will be looking forward to videos of your return trip to Jupiter. Hope you three have a great rest of the summer.

[@MiltonTucker]

I have been using the marine traffic site to keep tabs on an ole friend for some time. I had checked, for Neverland, but none of the listed vessels matched your speed characteristics.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

yes, we do not have AIS so won't show up on that map

[@cjblakeslee]

You guys are super awesome! Not sure if you've done this before, but can you do a video on how you guys meet?

[@Graeme408]

Oh I feel so bad for you two. I know you are Long Island but I feel our pain.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Fun to look back on though! Thanks John!

[@paulquigley1855]

Your in my old stomping grounds now. Those waters can get seriously treacherous on an incoming tide with heavy winds out of the north as you get close to Cape May or Lewes (pronounced Louis not Looz 😊) Take good care.

[@scotttaylor5422]

Keep safe. Your doing the best you can. I'm rooting for ya. You will get there . Just a few bumps or waves in this case lol. To hurdle.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thats why they call it adventure I guess..

[@scotttaylor5422]

I've learned alot about the sea sense I've been subscribed. What I'm trying to say is its diffenently not for everybody. Not saying I couldn't I've had a couple boats just have only been on Lakes with them though. Way to far to hall a boat for me to the coast.

[@scotthenze5627]

Gonna be really interested in the rest of your trip. Where on LI do you lifeguard. Will be in Mineola in a week

[@davidarnold9117]

A friend of mine who lives in Cape Cod, works for Navionics. He charts all the coordinates for the GPS system

[@dabprod]

Yeah....been across that bay a couple of times on a big ferry boat on the way down to Ocean City from Cape May. Boy it can get rough and the boat was rockin and rolling. A lot of sick passengers. Water was so rough it set a couple of car alarms off on the cars below deck.

[@randycorreia349]

I just watched Deadliest Catch today they had winds at 50-60 in the The Barium Sea

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

I couldn't even imagine!

[@duayneclarke8366]

August Correia Bering Sea

[@Sean-fo3tu]

That looks like a normal day in the canal and the delaware

[@robertpowell5447]

Great channel, Try the Marine Traffic phone app, it will show your boats location, been having a lot of fun with it. Safe Travels

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Sounds like what I used to use called boat beacon. Ill check it out! Thanks!

[@kdh7544]

Love you guys and worry about you. Hopefully you found anchorage where you could hunker down alee of the weather.

[@frankrice5364]

Get it done sunshine u can do it

[@Yortwash]

Dude! Your the freakin Casey Neistat of the ocean! Keep up all the great videos & fantastic voyages!

[@jasonhansen8066]

I use an app called Ship Finder, And it works well. I live on Lake Superior and it's usually pretty accurate. Keep up the great videos, safe sailing

[@mrcashball]

Hoping for fair winds and following seas for you guys soon.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks Wayne!

[@freddeboer2471]

For AIS on the iPad use shipfinder, yup have a Free verstond of it, workshop ok in the Chesapeak bay, I just checked it on one of the ships I sailed on. She is in Baltimore at the moment. Also in the navigation app isailor there is the possibility the get the AIS info on the charts, a lot easier because you have all the info in one pic. There are also a lot of yachts who have AIS.

[@nt4g1]

Hours of that will make you nauseous.. especially Jetty.

[@CaptMako-os2xp]

My Montauk wants to do a shout-out to yours! Fair winds and following seas.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Whalers for life!

[@ericjackson6948]

You guys ever hit the Pensacola/Alabama area? My kids and I would love to meet you and check out NeverLand. That kind of boat is on my bucket list!!! My daughter says KISSES for the puppy...lol

[@kevincostello1319]

Love following you guys.. Marine traffic dot com is a cool site. I pull it up to to follow my favorite boats... Have fun!

[@detonationvideos4766]

nice video

[@stevenhardy2898]

Did you notice the huge fort on your left as you came out of the C and D. You really should plan on a leisurely revisit someday.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

on the Delaware bay side? to the North? No, we didn't see one. Is it obvious?

[@patcb1478]

Tula's Endless Summer think he might be talking about fort Delaware. It's an island just north of c d canal on the river. Pretty big fort. Been on that river there many times it can get crazy good move what you did. Stay safe

[@stevenhardy2898]

It is on an island to your left as you come out od the cd. It is called Fort Delaware . It has a very interesting history as it was pre cilvil war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Delaware I have been cruising that area for over 40 years......lost of cool stuff to stop and see in that area. You might not have noticed but most of the upper bay is fresh water. Great to swim in. The actual top of the bay was 10 miles north east of turkey point lighthouse....another interesting visit . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_Point_Light.I boat out of Hances Point Yacht Club. If you ever plan to revisit,drop me a line. It is very likely that we could find an empty mooring to use. Very friendly crowd. Pretty likely someone could drive you to town for restocking, especially on the weekend. www.hancespointyachtclub.com/ By the way the upper bay is notorious for striped bass, with a Chesapeake bay license . Very restrictive as to what size and when you can catch them. North East is known for a couple places where you can feast on crabs.

[@dylanm2965]

I was a mate in lewes Delaware for 2 years and the bay gets rough all of our charter guests with fishing trips got sick a lot 2-3 weeks ago

[@braddorton9255]

Hi I wish to let you know that y'all have inspired me to possibly live on a boat like y'all I would like to know what it is required to live on a boat and how do you know of the local laws
