Kate & Hilly on a Boat
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 มี.ค. 2024
We’re Kate and Phil, an adventure-loving couple who sold EVERYTHING to live on a boat! Follow as we ditch the daily grind for a life of freedom and adventure. We are preparing for an epic 6,000-mile journey through the eastern U.S. and Canada that will have us navigating the Gulf and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterways, Erie Canal, Great Lakes, Canadian Heritage Canals, and the mighty Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers. From the good, the bad, to the ugly, tune in to see where this crazy water adventure takes us-because life is too darn short!
Learning Our Boat!
Y’all! We’re in ACTION! And sparks are flying 😬
In this episode, we’re getting hands-on as we practice driving and docking the boat-skills we’ll need once we’re officially underway on America’s Great Loop! 🚤 We also tackle a crucial maintenance task: replacing our boat’s batteries. Plus, the countdown is on-we’re less than ONE week away from taking off on the Loop! 😱
What to expect in this video:
• Our experience learning to drive and dock our boat
• Replacing the batteries and prepping the boat for our big adventure
• Gonzo pup cuteness 🐶❤️🐾
Join us for a mix of practice, prep, and excitement as we get ready to take on this epic journey!

We are official rounding the bend on the purchase of our floating home! In this episode, we take you along as we put our dream boat to the test. With the boat officially under contract, it's time for the crucial survey and sea trial to ensure everything is shipshape before we finalize our purchase.

This is a must see Your Tube vid regarding critical safety at sea and vessel assistance by the U,.S. Coast Guard. and from other countries. th-cam.com/video/ga_MmHnOuAo/w-d-xo.html
Just came across your channel and the wife and I are doing the same thing. Boat shopping SUCKS, but after 6 months of searching and looking we finally went under contract the other day. we'll start the loop in the spring of next year. catch you out there.
Yay! Welcome! Yes, we had no idea how hard finding the right boat would be! So grateful that you FEEL what we experienced, haha. Congratulations! See you out there for sure 😎
So nice to see you putting the boat out and in with such ease! I think it would’ve been more fun if I’d been there though. Hope you have some great adventures!
We can't wait to take you two out and about!! ❤️
I was at a secondhand lamp and sign store and told the man I feared electricity. He stared off into the distance and then muttered "good....yeah, you should...good, good, good," a bunch of times. 🤨
Haha, it will let you know ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Hey Phil....hopefully you have working fire extinguishers on the boat. You're going to need them.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching
Once again you have failed to tell viewers ANYTHING about what kind of boat you have. Who made it, when, draft, length etc. Very irritating!
Thanks for watching!
To add to your viewer understanding, it would be good to tell us what kind of boat. How long, draft, who made it and other details. All you say is "the boat" with no explanation. Personally, I'm not tuning in;...
Thanks for the idea! That would be a fun episode on its own.
So happy to see you guys out on the water!!!
So happy to be on the water 🥳
Great job guys. Phil handles the boat better than he did his jeep j/k lol
Thank you! Haha, he's doing great 😊
True story! Now the real question is, will he check the oil on a daily basis? Or just look at it? lol
🎉 looks like you are almost ready to go!! Hope you’re having the best time, love watching ❤️
We are! We will keep on sharing it all with you, buddy!
A lot of the loopers have headsets to communicate while working on their boats.
Love this! So smart
we have been waiting to see you guys out!! Congratulations
Thank you! It feels good and we're feeling empowered 👏
Since you live on a boat....how about Phil show us some cool fishing videos??
🐟❤🎣 Love it!
Finally watched this in its entirety! I love the Q and A questions! Super informative and interesting!!!!! Couldn’t be more excited to watch this adventure ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! We can't wait to live this adventure and bring you along, friend!
Suggestion for you, as part of your 'prep for departure' efforts: Get up one morning while still in your slip and unplug the BYC, short for Big Yellow Cord. Just live a normal day and see where things stand, electrically speaking, the following morning. I suggest you may learn things you would want to know before departure and the convenience of having a car.
Excellent suggestion!! Thanks for being so helpful! We will let you know how it goes. We're so appreciative of your supportive comments ☺️
For those who missed it at the beginning, this (perhaps the latest Loop-destinated) boat is a Carver 36. Congrats, you two. A very suitable choice for the Great Loop. Full-time liveaboards? What's the plan for winter?
Thanks! We are really happy with the Carver. Full-time living aboard and hoping to be South by the winter...We will see!
So excited for you guys!
Yay! We are too! That mix of anxiety and enthusiasm hits just right!
How long are you planning for the loop? And are you planning on staying in the south for the winter?
The plan is to get south by the winter and then get back north before hurricane season. Thinking it'll take about a year.
Is Hilly going to shave his bear so we can really see his gorgeous face????
Haha, he's such a cutie! A haircut/beard trim is coming soon to a video near you for sure ❤️
Aw so cute. I love the life jacket. It was national dog day a couple of days ago. So Happy Belated National Dog Day to Gonzo!
The cutest boy on the sea! Thank you, Alesha ☺
As a foodie, yummy. Whew. Lawdz yes. I can tell Pizza nights are gonna be my favorites.
You're making us hungry for all the small living recipes!!
@@KateAndHillyOnABoat Those small living recipes would be awesome foodie shorts!
Hi. I'd have taken the canopy down. Let us know how it went! Looks very windy!😮
Smart! Thankfully it ended not being too bad of a night but yes a canopy collapse would've helped!
Yeeepeee!!!
🤗😍😁
I like the subtle promo placement on Hilly's shirt...😊
You get it!!!
I just binge-watched all of these. Congratulations!!
Thanks, Nurk! We appreciate the support!!!
Love the boat and excited to see your adventures!! We are getting ready to move aboard an old yacht and renovate it, so we love watching other boaters journeys. Subscribed so we can follow along. :}
Fun!! Good luck! We are definitely on a journey! 🤣 ❤️
I want to see Phillip make you egg rolls for dinner. From scratch.
Yes!! Let's goooooo!! 👨🍳
4:10 those don't look like coffees lol😅
Haha, you know how one thing leads to another 😂
That's what I thought! I want the coffee drink named painkiller please
“Deals on deals on deals!” Your narrating cracks me up!! Looks like a fun time ❤ head back to Medina soon!!
Thank you, Ashley! We love you! 100% we will see you soon!
What is the water draft of the boat also the air draft?
Water draft is 3.5' and we are under 17' in the air.
OK, it's not a parlor, it's the salon. Have you all joined the loop association?
Thanks for the suggestion! It's on our list ✅
Very interesting watching you guys. You may want to check out the loop association for the most common boats used on the loop.
Glad you're enjoying the videos! Yes, we love all the association's resources. Thanks for watching!
great video ty !!!! do you have to have a survey to get insurance ??? congrats !!!!!!
Thank you! Yes, we were advised to get a survey especially because we knew our boat would be about 30-40 years old. But also it is nice to have the inspection for our piece of mind!
LOL repeatedly hitting our boat for fun. Never Never Land as a boat name is so fitting for you guys
It has all definitely been a learning experience. We think it is an appropriate name too!
what model carver is it?
3607 Aft Cabin
Wow, so many places for me to sleep, and I get my own bathroom! Can't wait to visit IRL.
Yayyyyy! We can't wait either!
Ahem. an OHIO flag? I'm reporting this video as abusive
Haha, we bought it in Ohio!
Love the moment of zen with Gonzo at the end!! ❤
He is LOVING the flybridge!
So cool! Can’t wait to see how you make it your own!
Giving it our own flair is key!!
What a beautiful boat!! ❤❤ love all the storage and TWO BATHROOMS?!?! love love love! Have so much fun! Can’t wait for more!
Thanks, Ashley! You two gotta swing by IRL ❤
Thank you for the boat tour that we’ve all been waiting for! Wishing you smooth boating adventures ahead!
Thank you ❤ Happy that you enjoyed it!
My kids ask: how will the dog go to the bathroom?
Right now we take him on walks but out at sea he'll probably have his own spot of turf on the deck...stay tuned as we figure that part out 🤣
Congratulations. Looks like a great boat!
Thank you! We are so excited! Tune in for the full tour...coming soon!
There she is, Miss America ❤
❤There she is!
