We are cruising around America's Great Loop for a second time and selected a 1999 Carver 504 named the Here's To Us!! as our Great Loop boat. So much goes into Great Loop planning and we share every trip with you. Welcome aboard!
Here are a few resources that we used for the trip: www.whatyachtt...
We started the Great Loop on May 15, 2019 and completed our Gold Loop journey on August 30, 2020. You can see our entire trip here: www.whatyachtt...
We started our second loop on September 2, 2020 and you can follow our route here: www.whatyachtt...

Cheers to you Sam for your service. It sounds like a very distinguished career sir. Congrats to you all on making to Alexandria and we are excited to see the boat upgrades. Be well you two and best wishes.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thank you so much for being such a loyal subscriber! 😊

[@12000Jetlag]

I did not know you flew the U2!!!! As a pilot I am now totally impressed and in awe of your career.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thanks. It was an honor and privelidge!

[@buckpowers4837]

Got a little chocked up watching this video. Say it aint over. Just kidding...great end of the first loop and starting number 2. It's now the middle of May and just can't wait to see the next great part of the adventure.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

We shall continue onward!

[@deehightower7507]

Great video. I loved hearing Sam talk about his U2 experiences, we are so proud of you! You both do a super job, what an adventure!

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thank you so much! Love you! Sam & Rev

[@onFIREfamily]

Great one, guys! Excited to see you back in the boat!!! Hopefully soon!

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Yes! Happy to be back!

[@myjavadogs]

Can't wait for you to be back on the water and I'll be following!!!

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thanks John!

[@ironichumorist]

Bad ass space pilot. Cheers!

😂

[@leodimonda5328]

Great timing on the videos and your planned return to the boat. Looking forward to new vids and what looks to be a different route.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

We hope for some good news on Canada!

[@pbroad87]

I hope you two are now back on the here's to us, watching the video of Paul yesterday about Canada still being locked down and it being illegal to be on your boat is ludicrous. Hopefully you also aren't pulling to much hair out as you mentioned in your last email 😳 thanks to you Sam for your service, our son and family is on the way back right now from the UK so we are excited to be with them next week in Oklahoma. Have a great day Sam and Rev Patrick

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thank you Patrick. Worse places to be than the 1000 Islands in the Summer time! Gonna enjoy it whatever. Enjoy the time with your son there in OK!

[@ClassXIRoads]

Tanks again for your service Sam!! looking forward to this years boating season , of course we are still hoping that Canada opens up by beginning of August for us to start our first loop.. I may have to take a ax and saw to the top of our boat to go thu the Erie all the way to Lake Erie.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Yes, going to see what happens!

[@billsearles9294]

make sure you visit Singer Castle when you get back to Alex Bay.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

👍

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Sounds like a nice place to visit. I think is on the seaway, hence the ocean boats. One thing, I didn't hear you mention, is mold and mildew preventers in the cabins. Not that is makes any difference now. The good thing is, she is going to get some pampering in the off season and should be ready for adventures, when you get back.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Yes. Building was radiant heated by the floor so no humidity. Was dry and ready!

[@chriscat3379]

thanks for another super video. Great to hear about the Air Force life and how much you enjoy the cruising lifestyle. Looking forward to the new season

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thanks Chris!

[@jomarkelly3932]

Sam, I loved hearing you talk about your U2 time! Thank you! Also I can’t wait for you to return to the boat in Spring... even though I am watching this May 15th, 2021... I am guessing you are back? or soon will be! Safe Travels... John Kelly / Greenville, OH

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Oh thanks so much. We are back and replanning!

[@sisaacs6071]

Awesome video 👌👍 and thank you for allowing us into your world... Jokingly I was tearing up listening to Sam savour the last 10 miles... The check list has to aviation/engineering related.. they are a beautiful thing.. Now I must get back to my check list replacing one Tractor transaxle and the other Tractors starter... Be well

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CruisingSonchaser]

Darn, we will miss you guys. We head out on the Loop in 2022. Heading the opposite direction this summer, up the Ohio for a long excursion. Maybe we will see you somewhere along the way in ‘22. Stop in Nashville. We have a slip for you at Commodore Yacht Club.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Great. We will see what the year brings!

[@diannesimms1684]

We are heading out to begin the Loop in August on "NANO" a 27 ft Tug Ranger from Maine, and have no plans to transit through Canada. Sadly, we are still locked down up here. Good luck on your next leg

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Thanks! Be safe out there. If you're not signed up for our twice a month newsletter, you can do so on our website for the inside scoop! 🙂

[@CruisingSonchaser]

That freighter had huge windmill blades on it.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Yes. Very big!

[@BB-bv6uq]

I'm excited to see you guys get started again! Love your vlog, can you please share a little about what you did all winter?

[@WhatYachtToDo]

We will! Sign up for the newsletter on our website. It comes out on the 5th and 20th of each month. We have been keeping folks up to date all winter. Cheers, Sam

[@BB-bv6uq]

@@WhatYachtToDo I just signed up and looked at your website, thank you for your service Sam 👍

[@ronimorrow8217]

Great to see you two are good, and moving along enjoying the loop. 😀 Can't wait to see the Here's to Us after her face-lift. You are likely back aboard now, and loving the boat life again. Such a rare treat to hear Sam talk about some of his Air Force flying days. Thank you so much for your service Sam! Stay safe!🥰

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Oh, thank you Roni. Boat looks great. Rev is happy with the new stove and the cosmetics look great as well. We also had an insurance survey done and had more things fixed. Cheers!

[@stevetadlock5223]

We watched the U2 launch from NASA Ames every Wednesday back in the 70's while stationed at Moffet Field...the plane would be 5k feet up before it reached the end of the runway...lol

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Definitely a climbing angel! Loved flying it!

[@aspen31]

Hi folks Like your videos. Do you use some kind of tablet for your Nav information or something else. Info appreciated. Thanks

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Yes we do. I plan on my phone on Navionics, export to Active Captain App on my phone, then beam it to my Garmin 7610XSV so I can tie the autohelm to it. Cheers.

[@FloridaYachtInsuranceGuy]

Are you by chance at grills melbourne?

[@WhatYachtToDo]

[@FloridaYachtInsuranceGuy]

Was this your 1st year for winter boat withdraw syndrome?

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Oh yes! 😬

[@edwardhartman8575]

If you sold your house, where are you going? Damn Sam you is one handsome man back in the day! I was too!!! On the hard Ed.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Living on the boat for now! Thanks for the compliment!

[@charlesdavenport2543]

While stationed south of the DMZ in Korea in the mid 80's, I would hear the double sonic booms and then the jet engines. Guess it was friends of yours.

[@WhatYachtToDo]

It could have been. Can neither confirm nor deny! LOL

[@halhenschel7004]

Its wax on waxes off lol
