    that marina bridge would be a no-go for me! That's crazy!
  • @Figment078
    I have deep appreciation for the honesty and vulnerability you're bringing to this video. That kind of integrity is uncommon in this world.
  • @chrisa4767
    If you can get out of that marina the loop should be no problem! Well done.
  • I have a 46 foot carver fly bridge and you did a great job. That drawbridge is insane and would also be a no go for me so if you can handle that, you can handle anything. Great video.
  • People tend to edit out all the challenges and only show the good times. I'm glad to see that you're going to show what it's really like on the loop.

    With the fly bridge the entire sides of the boat are sail area that will significantly affect the vessel’s maneuvering. Will watch out for you on the Erie Canal! I’m retired in upstate NY and hold a Masters License. I’ve traversed the Erie Canal many times as a tour boat operator. If you need a line monkey to assist your canal transit I’ll volunteer free of charge. Can meet you at the flight of five. Good luck.

    Love the fact you showed the excitement of leaving the marina. Shows you just a regular captain like the rest of us 😎.. Man that's one hell of a marina to get in and out of..
  • @craneville5446
    You did a great job under all of that pressure. Don't blame yourself when stuff goes wrong.. It is part of the boating life. Trial run or not sh*! happens and it will happen again. Safe travels and look forward to seeing more of your 6000 mile trip of a life time .

    Sir, If that is the worst thing that happens to you, you're in good shape. Will be following your adventure. By the way it isn't an adventure till something goes wrong.
  • @papa.mike01
    I admire you willingness to do the Great Loop single handed. Thanks for brining us along.😊
  • @motorv8N
    Good for you - that departure was a sticky situation that would challenge a lot of pilots and kudos for showing the warts and all of your trip kickoff. Subbed for the ride in the hopes of doing it one day and your honest assessment of Day 1 adventure is a good omen I think.
  • @wlarrry
    Looking forward to your travels
  • @jrumlow

  • @Trabyerf

  • @AlwxEdwards

  • Good job getting out of there. Safe travels. Looking forward to following your adventure.
  • Just saw your video great work I would have crapped my pants when you were leaving the Marina the wind was blowing your bow and having to go thru that narrow exit with the bridge. Keep up the good work can't wait to see your journey. Subscribed to keep up with the journey.
