Most Underrated Destination along America’s Great Loop
After our eventful evening yesterday on America’s Great Loop rescuing two kayaker’s in distress (read about it here), we took full advantage of Saturday and our full day in Oriental, North Carolina. We didn’t know much about this small town in North Carolina, but we feel the best way to get familiar with an area…
Rescuing Kayakers in the Neuse River along the Great Loop
Today on America’s Great Loop we left Beaufort, North Carolina – one of our favorite anchorages so far only a day after arriving. We wanted to stay longer but just due to how long it has taken us to get here on the Great Loop, we knew we would have less time in the Great…
Dinghy Problems on the way to Beaufort, North Carolina
Today we leave our anchorage where we held out some foul weather yesterday. We highly recommend Mile Hammock Bay if you need a quiet place to spend a couple nights! We left just after sunrise after Elliot took Ollie out for a walk. Unfortunately, our dinghy engine is still the bane of our existence. Due…
Our Lessons After One Month on America’s Great Loop
We’re switching it up today and having our first retrospective! We realize that at different stages of the loop, boaters will have different advice. The points we highlight now, after one month will undoubtedly be different than our highlights after a full year or even a lifetime! Hope you enjoy! If you would like a…
The Great Loop from Carolina Beach to Mile Hammock Bay
Today on America’s Great Loop we have a long 10 hour cruise from Carolina Beach to Mile Hammock Bay. Our first challenge is leaving the tough dock at Carolina Beach Municipal Marina. Normally this wouldn’t have been too much of a challenge, but there were a couple of items that made this more difficult. Luckily…
Our Wheel Fell off While Underway to Carolina Beach, North Carolina
Today we leave South Carolina and head into our 4th state up the East Coast – North Carolina! What should have been a nice easy day was anything but as shortly after leaving our anchorage in Calabash River, our wheel fell off. I (Elliot) was navigating from our flybridge when I shifted to port in…
Cruising through the Rock Pile in South Carolina on the Great Loop
Today after staying for a week at Osprey Marina in Myrtle Beach, we cruised back on the intracoastal waterway up through one of the most treacherous sections of the Great Loop; The Rock Pile. This section is considered tough mainly because it is narrow and unforgiving. To clear this section when creating the Great Loop,…
Leaving Georgetown and Cruising to Myrtle Beach
The time has finally come to leave Georgetown, South Carolina! We really enjoyed this charming Southern Town and for our last morning we decided to hit one of our top activities so far on America’s Great Loop – farmer’s markets! Now this may sound lame, but we love farmer’s markets. They offer an amazing glimpse…
Touring the 3rd Oldest City in South Carolina, Georgetown
Today’s video is brought to you by Jo (Jennifer)! Elliot has a bit of work to catch up on since if you recall, there hasn’t been much sleep due to our poor anchoring. Georgetown has quite a history, shown through its diverse economic offerings. It was once a huge rice and indigo exporter during Slavery…
Coming Back after our Lowest Day On the Great Loop
Our lowest day on the great loop (pun intended; we ran aground), was rough. After a full day of activities, we ran aground, and then had serious anchor trouble leading to a very bad nights sleep. Today was different. We had to leave early, on account that we were anchored right next to the ICW…
