Great Loop Adventure Installing Starlink #greatloop

Join Jim as he installs Starlink on the MV Cetus. Many areas of the Loop have limited cell services and sometimes no service. After we lost our WiFi extender during a storm we realized quickly that it was a challenge to up date charts and contact the outside world. With Starlink Generation 3 we have high-speed internet on the water. Best of all I have Internet for an anchor alarm. The Great Loo...

As a resident of Alton, IL. I welcome you to our little river town. And I don't know if you realize it or not, but that hill you walked up at around 5:00 in your video. West 7th. St. is actually the Steepest Brick Road in the World. Goggle that, & Congratulations, you made it. Come back when you can stay longer.
WOW ! Nature at its most beautiful.
Thanks for watching. It’s absolutely beautiful on the rivers
Patti’s….Strawberry butter the best! Went there in the 80’s many times, last was 2014. Wonderful area. Thanks for sharing!
So good with their flower pot bread. Great place to visit. Glad we stayed. Thanks for watching
I see you found Pattis. Try the Kentucky Hot Brown? One suggestion, if you could drop the videos in order it would make your journey much easier to follow. Thanks for inviting us all along. You two are living my dream. Tried to convince my wife to let's sell the house for a Kadey Krogen.
We enjoyed Patti’s and their sister restaurant across the street. We will return to the Kentucky Lake in May to explore the area more. Wonderful cruising area. The videos are in order except for Friday’s which will be maintenance or a side trip. We are 10 days to two weeks behind with tomorrow being Paris Landing. Thanks for watching.
WOW that's a lot of current
I was amazed with the speed of the current. I drove boats on the east coast and never saw a current that fast except for the York River in Yorktown, East River and the Hudson. In NYC.
Hola bonito barco y fantásticos vídeos ,un saludo desde Galicia .👋
Gracias por vernos. Nos lo estamos pasando genial.
Love your videos! Sadly we missed the chance to hang with you guys at Green Turtle Bay- we had been busy reading Harmony, recent purchase, for the trip to our home marina in Louisville. I believe we departed the same day you did. Have a happy and successful trip!
Thank you so much. Enjoy Louisville. We are coming back to Kentucky Lake next year to run the rivers to enjoy Kentucky and Tennessee. Hope to see you Summer 2025.
I'm a lifelong resident of Alton/Godfrey. I enjoyed watching your video and am glad that you enjoyed your visit to Alton.
I had a great time in Alton. Bus transportation, bike trails and so much to see. I walked over 30 miles by myself and felt safe. Enjoyed yoga, shopping and the restaurants. You have a beautiful history city. Thanks for watching.
You are up a creek? I hope you have a paddle.
I have my kayak paddle. We were a quarter mile up the creek in a big boat. Amazing it was 20feet deep and a beautiful anchorage.
Nice vessel
It sure is. Beautiful Blue Marlow
I'm pretty sure that was a muskrat swimming across the river. If you look closely, there is a bit of a wiggle in it's wake, which is from using their tail like a corkscrew to help propel them through the water. You can also see quite a bit of it's body, where a beaver will generally just show it's head (which is almost the size of the whole muskrat!). We have both beavers and muskrats on our pond, and have gotten pretty good a identifying them.
Awesome. I was wondering what it was. Great description how to identify. Thanks for watching.
@ I have been looking at KKs specifically as a retirement option, and found your channel to get a sense of what life onboard might be like. Thanks for sharing your journeys.
I’m working editing a video of the different KK we have seen along the way. Currently traveling with a whaleback and a 55 Explorer. Thanks for watching
@@UnderwayDriftingNDreaming I just subscribed, and will be watching for that video. I currently dream about the 39s & 42s from a "how much space do the two of us really need" standpoint.
Beautiful, simply beautiful
Truly beautiful. Thanks for watching
Warning ! Do not watch due to motion sickness / seasick !
Sorry about that. Recording video underway with an iPhone sometimes I move too fast.
So you've pasted the Gemini project and jumped in with both feet with Elon to go to Mars? LOL. Don't know it you've watched Scho and Jo and their van build. I've heard of people converting to power from AC to DC to limit the natural loss in the conversion. They found a company that is straight DC called Trio I believe. Dish on top of van so must be able to take weather. I got my dish for home in late August. Unfortunately, Helene decided I didn't need it. Immediately asked for a new one. Looks like you've been using it, so know how good it is. Gonna cancel my DirecTV. Got TH-cam TV and can watch anything I want. Cheaper than my ATT and DTV combo.
We have Samsung smart tv that came with the boats. It has hundreds of channels though my husband watches Alone. Since 2009 I haven’t had cable just the tv antenna and a few channels with three being PBS. I’ve been watching TH-cam since 2020 on my phone. The Starlink is amazing. Only disconnects in the locks or when we are near the marina’s metal roof. To replace our WiFi antenna it was $800 and it was good for streaming. Though it was cellular based. Starlink unit was $299 and $165 a month. We use the chart plotter, navionics app on the iPad, two cell phones streaming and I’m usually on my laptop editing. Starlink is a workhorse on the boat. We are paying more though the reliability for navigation is 💯% worth the money. Yes I can navigate old school with a compass stop watch and paper charts. I moved forward if I’m heading to the stars 🌟
STARLINK is Elon Musk?
Thanks for watching. I’m enjoying being connected so if my anchor alarm 🚨 works with Starlink I’m happy with the technology. It’s no fun to be on the boat by yourself heading to the rocks. No cell service for miles. Thanks for watching
Ya I've got Starlink on my ship, I've been loving it.
It’s a game changer no longer need to use the marina WiFi except if we are next to the metal roof at the marina. The river system has many areas of zero coverage. So thankful we have Starlink. Thanks for watching.
We loved Paducah! The quilt museum was amazing!
We really wished we could have stayed another day to enjoy the museum. Thanks for watching. Congratulations on Crossing Your Wake!!
Oh my word....I want your boat. When you get done with the loop, sell it to me. I just love it. Wow
Thanks. We really love our Kadey Krogen. She is a gem for the Great Loop and beyond.
Stunning.
Amazing that we could motor in the cove and enJoy the waterfall.
I just started watching your great loop videos. Always been a dream of mine. I'm from South West Michigan, spent some time in saugatuck, and salmon fishing the Kalamazoo River. You were in saugatuck in the last video I watched. Just an FYI we pronounce Peoria Pee-or-ee-uh , at least where I live.
The West Coast of Michigan is absolutely beautiful. I grew up on the other side of Michigan. I’m working on pronouncing locations correctly. Thanks for watching
Trawler is the right boat when you’re doing the great loop!
Trawlers are the best. So happy with our boat cruising the Great Loop and Beyond
@ Congrats Underway!!!!! Keep living your best life… from London Ontario Canada 🥂🛥️🛥️🛥️
Thanks. Having a great time
Beautiful
Thanks. Glad we had the time to check it out
What a treat to see, thanks.
Thank you for watching.
Great video again. However, I'm so disappointed in your enunciation and speed of delivery for Jim and I. You'll always be astronauts to me. Waiting to see what side trips, if any, you take. And your stretch to the gulf.
Thanks. I crack up every time I record Jim and I. We are making our way to the Pickwick Lock and slowly cruising down the river. We will head west at Mobile heading to New Orleans then on to Texas for the winter. We have been taking about returning to Kentucky and Tennessee for Summer 2025. We would then cross our wake in November 2025 in Key West. Thanks for watching
@@UnderwayDriftingNDreaming Going to Texas near Ft Worth to visit daughter for Thanksgiving. Every time we cross TIM-TOM look for loopers. Crossed on I-22 early October. Didn't know Midway was right there at Fulton Lock or would have driven through to see if anyone there. Gonna take the wife off the Interstate to see White Cliffs of Epes. I've seen them from the bridge before
Last November crossing I20 we looked for Loopers. I didn’t realize we would be going under the same bridge almost a year later. The White Cliffs of Epes will be Epic. I’ve only seen pictures. Have a wonderful time in Texas with your daughter for Thanksgiving.
@@UnderwayDriftingNDreaming I was hoping for 2025, but dealing with settling parent's estates and now a hole in house roof from Helene. Have insurance, but GC we talked to and want to use said we're looking at a long time before he (or anyone) can get to it. Total destruction in Augusta. I was awful to look at. Wife and I got off lucky.
Oh no. Hoping the contractor can get the roof fixed. So much destruction with Helene. 🙏
Awesome trip. I often fish the lake front and the calumet river. You may have missed the 95th street bridge. It was as featured in the film Blues Brothers when they jumped over the river, and is home to calumet fisheries. There is also the J O’Brian lock and dam. I’m sure you were too busy to film that. Spent many hours of my life waiting on that lock to open. Safe travels
Thanks for watching. I have a video of us going under the 95th street bridge. I didn’t know it was famous. Had to go back and watch a video clip of the Blues Brothers jumping the bridge. I recorded leaving the Thomas J O’Brien Lock. They have bee hives sitting on the west side I thought was so neat. Thankfully we were able to cruise into the lock without a wait. We really enjoyed the Calumet River. So many bridges.
Enjoyed watching your video! Thanks for sharing your loop adventure with us.
Thank you for watching.
Should have gone down the Chicago river instead of the Calumet,much better scenery and the chance of getting shot isn’t THAT much higher.
Would have loved to go that route. We are 6 inches too tall. One day I hope to go on the architectural water tour of Chicago’s. Thanks for watching.
@ Come on the tour boat named The Summer of George,I’m the captain.
Awesome hoping to fly in soon.
@@UnderwayDriftingNDreaming Our season starts in May,we’re done for this year.
Thanks. Maybe we’ll loop around again next year.
No S sound in Illinois. It sounds like El-in-noi.
Thanks for watching. Been saying wrong for over 50’s
Those are beautiful boats.
We have two Kadey Krogens traveling with us. Another Whaleback and a 55’ Explorer. Truly beautiful. Thanks for watching
There only one Illinois in Illinois's! Probably from Indiana?
Thanks for watching.
watch the vids the bikes fold and will help with shopping and exploring
We just ordered to e-bikes last night from Lectric. They both fold up. It will make exploring easy. Thanks for watching.
There is only ONE Illinois. The S is silent.
Thanks for watching
Nice tour and great looking boat, love the elevator or lift as we say over here.
Thanks. The lift is great. All the other whalebacks have a tight spiral staircase. I don’t think that would be fun in heavy seas 🌊.
Beautiful boat!!!
Thanks. Thanks for watching.
The solar lights you have on back are great I have some at home.
Thanks for watching. We love the solar lights especially at anchorage for others to see us in the dark
Thought it was for sale…..waited for price….
No, just a boat tour. Maybe an upgrade in the future. Check out the Kadey Krogen Group, www.kadeykrogen.com/ for preowned yachts. Thanks for watching
Nice boat
Thank you
Chakago?
Yes working on my Midwest accent even though o grew up in Michigan.
Illinoiz?
Illinois clearly ends with an 's' that is, however, not meant to be pronounced. You can tell someone is from Chicago when they point out that the ``S'' is silent. I pronounce it correctly in this video th-cam.com/video/9sFtFKEa5Bo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y4q61-M-dBzd9hpE
Now that dude knows how to drive a boat
He backed down from his slip to the fuel dock. Wouldn’t want to pay the fuel bill.
LOL. Love the Kadey-Krogans. Plans to do other trips? Seems a lot of boat for the loop. (Not judging) Built for open seas and with your backgrounds, imagine there's something else planned after the loop. Trying to get you to spill the beans. And I noticed you've slowed down a little on identifying yourselves, but you'll always be '60s astronauts to me!
We plan to live aboard the next four to five years. We are going off the Loop to head West to Texas for the winter instead crossing our wake in Key West. Then resuming the Loop in 2025. Future might see us on the River System in Tennessee or the Chesapeake. Definitely cruising to the Bahamas. So many beautiful places to see.
😄😃😛
Thanks for watching
Awesome Boat !!!! Thanks for the Tour.
Thank you for watching.
Nice vessel! How many nautical miles per gallon or what is your estimated total range with your 1000 gallon tank @ 7n
Thanks for watching. 3020 miles AT 7 KNOTS *Calculated with a 10% reserve.
What make and model of boat is Cetus?
She is a 1997 Kadey Krogen Whaleback. Just posted a boat tour today. th-cam.com/video/MqI7lHQJPWo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4cV8CZskjLqS_ziQ
Great looking boat. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Gorgeous boat!
Thank you. Believe it was the past owners that took loving care of her. The Kadey Krogen design is beautiful. Amazing she is 27 years old. Thanks for watching
Are you guys currently at Green Turtle Bay, KY? We’re a couple of boats down from a boat that has the same buddy dog and boat as you two!
Yes, we are here for a few more days. Stop by and say 👋 hi.
In Michigan City that is actually a coal powered plant. The cooling tower is there because the plant used to use the lake water, but it was having an adverse affect on the environment. So they built the cooling tower to cool the boilers.
The cooling towers make a scary noise. I’m sure it’s a normal release of steam noise but that night the swells were coming in, the sailboats banging on the dock then we had to leave the wall it was sensory overload in survival mode. Thanks for the information and watching our videos.
@@UnderwayDriftingNDreaming That place is always moving, unfortunately. But It sounds like it will be shutting down in the next few years. It's been running since the 1930s. Hopefully the next time you guys come though it will be better! I believe the city is becoming more aware of the attraction of the loop, and hopefully will start moving to become more of a stop.
What is the app on phone that shows depth
Aqua Maps USACE Survey. It is constantly uploaded with new surveys. The app is great for the low water pool of the river and the ICW.
