Resuming our Great Loop Cruising Adventure aboard our Bayliner 4788 Motoryach - A Quick Refresher
We have caught up to our turn around point in Charleston of our first attempt at the Great Loop. And four years later, we have officially resumed the adventure!
Join us for a quick refreshing going over just what is the American Great Loop, why we choose it, why the 4-year pause and our intentions going forward.

It's time to upgrade our iPad for navigation aboard our Bayliner 4788. With Apple just releasing a new line up, we couldn't decide between the Air or the Pro. So, we bought both. Our goal was a better screen display when outside - would the $450 price difference between the 13" models be worth it? While we use our Garmin MFD for radar, depth sounding and back-up navigation - we have used an old...

This is an exceptional video; love everything you showed us; Love that Blue color of your Travato! Thank you for all the info and the links to the items ❤
Thanks for sharing. Like 383. It will be years before you get to Toronto. I recommend the Trent Severn route.
Outback crab shack on 6 mile Creek reopens soon soon! Great video!
Glad to hear y'all are enjoying Wilmington! :D And good luck with that second dose of the shingles vaccine. Took me out for a couple days. If your slip in Wilmington starts to grow moss, let me know and I'll come buy lunch. ;-)
I love your exploration videos.
Love catching up with your travels no matter by boat, can or bus! Sorry I missed the live, was outside as the sun goes down and it isn't as hot! Garden always needs care.
Were electric an issue?
Why new bikes
We'll have a video out soon.. but our existing ones were getting worn out because we're biking so much on them :). And we changed our way of biking.
Seems like in some cases getting the longer 150' Starlink cable would allow you to get it out from under cover so it would still work.
That would help in some places - but a lot of wooded camping areas have few (if any) large clearings.
Every single RV park in Las Vegas has a 10 year rule. That's why I have a stealth camper. I can even park in parking garages.
Thank you so much for this! WE are looking at Ipads for our navigation on our boat too! This helped! MVSkookum1
Is there cargo carrying capacities on boats like yours?
Not that we've encountered... I mean, you probably don't want to invite a herd of elephants onboard.
@@Technomadia lol
Atlantic Oaks RV Resort in Eastham, MA has direct access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail.
Yay!! Right back at it! Glad to see u guys again…
Great info on the rebuild, thanks.
Couldn't catch the name of the marina near the bridge in Charleston.
We stayed at the Charleston Maritime Center. It is a great location!
I been here for years. So glad to see you guys go!! Enjoy!!!
When using the flat jacks do you feel bouncing while in the van?
A little.. nothing annoying.
When you finally get to Annapolis contact me as I provide transportation to Loopers so they can provision or get needed supplies.
Awesome.. thanks. Please do drop a line to contact@technomadia.com so we can stay in touch (UA-cam comments will get lost).
I have retired since adding you to my favorites! Happy to see you back and as always (or at least for the past 4 years) waiting to see more of you two and your adventures. LOL Welcome back
Thanks! We're happy to be back to cruising, for sure!
looks like McDonald's and Pizza places not in Great loop 👍 keep great look!
Oh, plenty of pizza for us. We just run some extra miles afterwards :D
Looking good. Wishing you well.
I'm looking forward to following along with you on your journey. I have a quick curiosity question for you. When you stored your boat in Savannah a while back, what marina or yard did you use? And do you recommend them? The reason I ask is that I am going to bring my boat from the Boston area down to Savannah in October/November timeframe, leave it there for the winter, then bring it back slowly to Boston next Spring. But I'm looking for a good place to store it over the winter. Preferrably in the water, rather than on the hard. Any advice would be much appreciated. All the best, Jim Andersen, MV Katy Leigh, Narragansett Bay, RI
We were at Hinckley Yacht Services... they are a working boat yard, and not sure how much open just storage space they have. We had them working on several major projects while Y-Not was there.
was there a section on what's to see in Charleston? We're going up there in November. Glad you're back on the loop.
On our first visit there we did a lot of the touristy stuff. Here's that episode: ua-cam.com/video/uS6_T7vD_Vw/v-deo.html
@@Technomadia Thankee!
Hard to beat Jekyll Island State Park! There are trails all over the island to restaurants, shopping, beaches, and historical sites right across the street from the campground. Still our #1 favorite bike trail.
We just had a chance to explore Jekyll by bike while docked there in our boat. It is a great island for biking!
Wow! I would have been freaking out! So glad you could fix it! Danny and Lynn
It was exciting!
We are looking forward to all your adventures. Great video, as usual🙂
Thanks... we're looking forward to sharing them!
Looks like fun.
It should be an adventure, for sure!
I need to meet you at one of your ports. I have wine and treats for KiKi.
It would be awesome to intersect again! Although, Kiki doesn't drink much wine these days :D
So happy to see you are on your way to a new adventure, good luck. By the way I love the "Talking Heads". Oh wait, you weren't referring to the rock bank were you?
Hahaha... that would be more fun :D
I'm most curious about NYC, once you get there. It just seems so daunting. And then up the Hudson River - do you just drop the anchor anywhere? And what about the current? In my dream itinerary, I'd spend time in Washington D.C. It's such an amazing city, surprisingly. Happy loop!
There are amazing places to stop in both NYC and DC. We are so looking forward to both!
Congratulations on the restart of the loop and your fitness improvement. Have a fun trip.
Thanks... both are exciting, for sure!
You guys are looking so healthy! You'll have to share how you're staying fit while cruising :)
We did share about our fitness journey a few months back: ua-cam.com/users/live_HvXtHZO0PY. We will probably do a specific episode on Looping and keeping fitness in the future as well.
Wow, you both look healthy.
Thanks :) We're feeling healthy too!
So, happy to see you back! Looking forward to following as you loop.
We're thrilled to have you along for the ride!
I’ve been watching ya’ll way before YNot. Love watching ya’lls adventures. Thx for sharing. Safe boating.
Thanks for being along all these years!
@@Technomadia yall are welcome. Safe boating
Sending wishes for calm weather and limited bugs! (And no more hydraulic fluid excitement.)
Those would all be awesome things... and there will probably be more challenges too!
How exciting, happy for you getting back to your plan !!! Life has a way of changing things up ! The weight loss and health journey is really showing, you both look great !!!
Thank you :)
Not that I expect that you'll make it this year but when you get to Detroit I'll be happy to meet you guys and give you a little tour of what is in essence my hometown. If I'm not around to don't miss places are the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. There is also the Detroit Historical Museum that is not nearly as well known and the Detroit Institute of Arts if you're into art museums. Also don't miss the Belle Isle Aquarium, it's the oldest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
We look forward to exploring that area by water, for sure. Probably not this year however.
Nice seeing you two again
Nice to be seen :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats on getting back on track, it's interesting how well you've leaned into all the curve balls that life has thrown at you on this journey including all that Covid time!
We figure you can't control the balls, but you can control your reaction.
Won’t you guys ever mention how much fuel you burn?
We did a whole video and blog post on fuel: ua-cam.com/users/liveY2hTyS8FAWE
I've always loved Bayliners
Amazing DIY project when they said no. 👍👍
Where do you get the water to fill it up?
At marinas
Welcome to the FSA, the Florida Sandbar Association (sponsored by Towboat US and SeaTow) Are you aground, yet?
You definitely need to go to the Pima Air Museum.
Also, Apple Annie’s in Willcox.
The Air Museum is definitely on our list for future years!
Hey guys, I spoke with you on the VHF yesterday when you passed by Barefoot Marina in N. Myrtle Beach. I hope the rest of your trip goes smooth as possible. Be well and best wishes.
It is always fun to get hailed on VHF by someone who recognizes us. *wave*
It’s pretty awesome to see Chris get his fingernails dirty again. Not quite as complex as building your own lithium batteries but still great to watch. God bless and stay safe.
