My husband and I, we’re going to start our journey on the sea soon this year, 2024. We both and sometimes with are children and grandchildren. Hopefully its gonna be a nice a sweet experience like yours! so many things to learn and be grateful for! Thank you for sharing your amazing experience as a couple on a boat! Greeting from Middleburg, Fl. 💕😘💕
Thanks John and Kimberly for the video. I hope to follow in your footsteps in about 4-5 years. Already started looking at boats. I like the 44 footer you bought. I'll be following you guys and taking notes. Please share the good as well as the bad. I'm interested in the accounting for your adventure. How long you stay in one spot, marinas vs, anchorages, the whole nine yards. Oh, and one last very important thing... WDE!
Amazing video! This should be a required viewing of anyone looking to take the plunge! I'm still in the dreaming phase myself. I look forward to more of your videos!
My wife and I have been talking for months about doing the same thing!!!! Please keep us updated and I would love to maybe chat about the details and logistics of boat life if you ever have time! Cheers!
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. Just discovered your channel and subscribed - looking for updates on your journey. GOOD FOR YOU for taking the 'plunge'! I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach - rowed from Town Point to Elizabeth City each Spring for three years - and been seriously looking for a live-aboard for 2 years. Going back and forth between a trawler and a Nauticat
Great video. I remember the rocks at Myrtle Beach. So narrow. Hard to believe it's part of the ICW. And Elliot's Cut is a handful if you catch it wrong with a sailboat that'll only do 5 knots.
John Great video.... What was your time line?.....thinking of doing the trip in our 372 silverton aft cabin.....but gas.....HMMMMM ... but well done, congrats... Vince
beautiful perspective, I love the story, congrats on your journey. I hope there is more to come I'm interested in seeing the Dyers wonderful story on the water. Thank you
Fabulous, detailed account of your time on the water. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. My we ask about some of the costs associated with boating like this. What does it cost, on average, to stay at a marina for an evening? And, what does it cost to stay an extended period of time (a month or more either on a slip or on a mooring)? And, finally, what does it cost, on average, to store a boat over the winter if you were to return to a winter region like New England or the Great Lakes? Thanks! Safe Journeys!
Hello! My husband and I are about to embark on our trip from Florida back to Boston come April 1st. We are getting our float plan together but if you have some suggestions that would be great. My main question is we need to work during our journey. I saw that you did too. What kind of internet service did you get? We need a secure VPN type network. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you and safe journeys!!
This is amazong John, My wife and I would like to to this. Can you make a breakdown of you costs? Like how much did you spend on gas and Such? take care!
Just found your channel. Like to know the details of your boat. She looks to be very comfortable and seaworthy. Your taking a dream and turning it into a reality is something very few get to do. Congratulations! We've had 7 boats over the years. They were pretty much high performance ski boats and ened off with an off shore power cruiser( Cigarette type ) Had friends with boats similar to yours all here in Southern California. Did some boating in Florida and in the keys. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Hey man! Also just bought a boat, a 33ft sailing catamaran. Also just purchased the oneweel pint. I figured it'd be great for grocery runs when I hit distant marinas instead of walking for hours. You got a new sub from me!
My first visit to your channel this early am. Yep, a new subscriber here. It's my dream to follow in this adventure. Great drone footage. I was on board the John F. Kennedy CV-67 during the Gulf War and Norfolk was my home port. Unbelievable rocket shot with your engagement ship in the foreground! Really nice video guys.
Hey its good to hear from you again glad you're getting out there! And having lots of fun!. Great video as always I like your boat its very nice my parents also bought a boat but it's nothing that fancy looking good stuff:)😎😎
@@JohnDDyer they just have nomad boat they call it there yacht lol to me it looks like a big sail boat with a new design underneath it lol nothing fancy though 😆
I can't speak for John, but if you're not too far off shore, you can use your cellular data, but that may or may not meet your needs or be cost effective--depends on your carrier plan. There's also a satellite Internet provide called Starlink that provides service for RVs and boats. Their maritime service (for ocean crossings, for example) is quite expensive. Most marinas now offer wi-fi.
How long did the trip take and did you run into any rough waters. I’m looking to do the trip one day and wanted to know if it was a smooth trip. Thank you
Thanks Brian! Yea we love the wynns first in the RV days and now with the Cat, so cool! They definitely helped give us some confidence that we could get out there.
Love the video! I know these exact feelings. You do a great job putting it in words! We are another live aboard family. Currently in the Keys. Hit us up if yall find yourselves here.
Thanks guys! We actually saw y’all at plantation yacht harbor in Islamorada last year but y’all pulled away before we could swing by. We are up in port Canaveral now 😃
Looks like fun! I hadn't seen anything from you in a while... Do you still have your Lazy Daze? I just got one two weeks ago. It's my first motorhome. It needs some paint and TLC, but I've got nothing but time, since I'm retired. I've enjoyed watching all of your videos (the ones I've seen anyway). Be safe out there! Rick Doherty Joshua Tree, Ca
Thanks Rick! Congrats on the RV!!! We do still have the Lazy Daze but we haven’t used her much since we got the boat... the boat definitely took up a lot more time than the RV did lol but they are both a blast for sure. Where is your first trip going to be?? Looks like you are starting off in a great spot.
Thanks! It was incredible, we are so glad we stepped outside our comfort zone to try it! In total we moved the boat on 18 days but it took about 6 months because we spend some time in Yorktown, Beaufort NC and Brunswick GA
@@JohnDDyer Made a great choice to leap out your comfort zone. Thanks for telling me and 6 months is long but I know it was worth it because with all the fun experiences your having, it even probably made the trip not as long, hahah.
@@JohnDDyer I really like it! I'm almost 6' and 240lbs... and when I'm riding it, there's nothing "mini" about it. I have the steering post all the way up, and the upgraded seat and seat post maximum height also. Seems like a full size bike! My friend got me interested in them about 1 1/2 year ago... she got some other brand and I got mine... Then it was like a chain reaction. It got me interested in RV's, where I found you (thanks!), as I was combining through the many very helpful TH-cam videos out there. Take care! Rick
HEY GUYS, I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO HERE BY SEARCHING HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO GET TO FLORIDA FROM NEW YORK ON A BOAT? AND I WATCHED THIS VIDEO ALL THE WAY THROUGH, ENJOYED THE VIDEO ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU WORKING TOGETHER AND ENJOYING THE ADVENTURE AND EXPERIENCE, BUT!!!! YOU NEVER MENTION HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GET TO FLORIDA FROM NEW YORK ON YOUR BOAT!!! : / ??????? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.. PS.. I ALSO WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE BACKROUND MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO.. I THINK ALL BACKROUND MUSIC ON VIDEOS IS UNNECESSARY AND INFACT VERY IRRITATING WHILE TRYING TO HEAR THE PEOPLE AND SOUNDS OF THE CONTENTS OF THE VIDEO!! PLEASE CONSIDER MY FEELINGS ON BACKROUND MUSIC AND MY EXPERIENCE HAVING TO LISTEN TO IT IN YOUR VIDEO, IN YOUR FUTURE VIDEOS, FOR ALL OF YOUR VIEWERS WHO MAY FEEL THE SAME WAY, I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE! AND ALSO FOR MYSELF! : ) THANK YOU FOR THAT TOO..... ALL THE BEST TO YOU TWO.. YOU APPEAR TO BE A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT A MARRIED COUPLE SHOULD LOOK LIKE AND HOW A MARRIED COUPLE SHOULD BE PARTNERS AND BEST FRIENDS, WHILE WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL.. ( I MEAN THAT ) HAPPY BOATING!
Thanks John, we tried following the N46 whenever we could, it was great to have some friends around to help show us the ropes! I actually lived on a nordhavn 46 for a couple years as a kid so it was a blast for me to see the boat when were with them! Sorry about the music, we liked it but hey you can’t please everyone...
@@JohnDDyer I know I can be a bit of a curmudgeon (I'm 83), but I too grew up on boats....my Dad's in the late 30's thru the mid 50's. Four years at sea (55,000 NM in the N. Atlantic) with the US Coast Guard International Weather Patrol and then three boats of my own. Now beached in the Desert Southwest, I am a purest who longs for the sounds of the boat's engines, it's passage through the water, the wind and, of course, the narrative that accompanies those passages. The music, whether techno or classical just detracts from the true experiences of cruising, visiting new places and living aboard.
Wow that’s an amazing life on the water John!the is certainly something magical about cruising, we are absolutely hooked. Have you found any TH-cam channels or videos that do a better job of conveying that feeling to you??
We are living vicariously thru guys like you. Awesome video.
Different background music would be good
Nice video thanks for showing us the journey, peace gods speed
kool journey............ it's on my bucket list.......... thanx for the upload, and safe travels.
My husband and I, we’re going to start our journey on the sea soon this year, 2024. We both and sometimes with are children and grandchildren. Hopefully its gonna be a nice a sweet experience like yours! so many things to learn and be grateful for!

That was a good one! Really enjoyed made me jealous.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
This is a really great video, John. I’d love to follow along on your adventure if you all have the time and desire to create more content.
Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Very nice!!! You married the perfect woman. Cheers!!!

Great Story. Can't wait to follow along (and dream.) WAR EAGLE!!! Liked and Subscribed as soon as I saw the AU!!!
You are doing what many of wish we could have done. Hello from Thailand… retired from Wilmington NC
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona.

Great video y’all .
Great video been thinking about doing this trip for a long time...just need to update my navigation software
Great video. I remember the rocks at Myrtle Beach. So narrow. Hard to believe it's part of the ICW. And Elliot's Cut is a handful if you catch it wrong with a sailboat that'll only do 5 knots.
Love your story
We are just starting live aboard on our squadron 58 and will be watching your channel from now on 👍
Nice to live in the water. I wish I can live the same lifestyle as you. Safe sailing.
That’s a nice boat
Impressive, an adventure that is good for the soul.
Great video, looks like you are having fun!
Thanks Rick we did our best😃
You are a team in your boat. Great adventure you have
discovering along rivers. Solar panels to fit in would be great help in future
Very cool. How much did it cost in fuel if I may ask?
Looking forward to making the same trip with my wife. Great video👍🏾
I just moved to Swansboro, NC. Shackleford Banks is the best spot around here.
Just an idea for the future 🤔 Come over to the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll absolutely love it 😁👍
Really nice boat. Designed by Lazzara. Keep the walls oiled. Add light to the engine room.
Did you go through the Manasquan Inlet in NJ and then through the Point Pleasant Canal to get to the Barnegat Bay?
John Great video.... What was your time line?.....thinking of doing the trip in our 372 silverton aft cabin.....but gas.....HMMMMM ... but well done, congrats... Vince

Congrats fun to watch subbed an inspired!¡!
Thanks Donna!
This is amazong John, My wife and I would like to to this. Can you make a breakdown of you costs? Like how much did you spend on gas and Such? take care!

how did you know where to stop and navigate the route?
Hey man! Also just bought a boat, a 33ft sailing catamaran. Also just purchased the oneweel pint. I figured it'd be great for grocery runs when I hit distant marinas instead of walking for hours. You got a new sub from me!
niiiiiiiice!
Nice cruiser,take care of her.
Thanks man we will do our best!
Do you have a boat tour video?
That’s a cool wife!!
how's the build quality on these boats?
Oh the boat problems.... oh we get it....
My first visit to your channel this early am.
Yep, a new subscriber here.
It's my dream to follow in this adventure. Great drone footage.
I was on board the John F. Kennedy CV-67 during the Gulf War and Norfolk was my home port. Unbelievable rocket shot with your engagement ship in the foreground!
Really nice video guys.
Can someone pls let me know the name of the song in the background? Thanks!
What size and model boat is that
Ok, now boar tour and boat specs.
Hey its good to hear from you again glad you're getting out there! And having lots of fun!. Great video as always I like your boat its very nice my parents also bought a boat but it's nothing that fancy looking good stuff:)😎😎
That’s awesome! Any way to get out on the water it’s great! What kind of boat did they get??
@@JohnDDyer they just have nomad boat they call it there yacht lol to me it looks like a big sail boat with a new design underneath it lol nothing fancy though 😆
Sounds pretty cool! I wanted a sailboat but couldn’t get Kimberly on board buuuut maybe in a few years, she is starting to come around 😃
What are you using as internet for work? Or is it not remote work but something else like writing?
I can't speak for John, but if you're not too far off shore, you can use your cellular data, but that may or may not meet your needs or be cost effective--depends on your carrier plan. There's also a satellite Internet provide called Starlink that provides service for RVs and boats. Their maritime service (for ocean crossings, for example) is quite expensive. Most marinas now offer wi-fi.
This is so cool! We’ve just bought a narrowboat. New sub here
What’s a narrow boat??
How long did the trip take and did you run into any rough waters. I’m looking to do the trip one day and wanted to know if it was a smooth trip. Thank you
Congrats on the boat! I saw The Wynns in your description - we watch them every Sunday to vicariously get our fix for ocean living!
Thanks Brian! Yea we love the wynns first in the RV days and now with the Cat, so cool! They definitely helped give us some confidence that we could get out there.
What type of boat?
The ocean is very large and the boats are very tiny. It's sobering.
Nice video but MAN did that song get old.
WHAT WAS YOUR FUEL BURN RATE AND DOCK COST
Love the video! I know these exact feelings. You do a great job putting it in words! We are another live aboard family. Currently in the Keys. Hit us up if yall find yourselves here.
Thanks guys! We actually saw y’all at plantation yacht harbor in Islamorada last year but y’all pulled away before we could swing by. We are up in port Canaveral now 😃
Nice! Did you take the OW with you?
I actually let my nephew borrow it ( he has been loving it!) buuut I did bring an EUC 😃
I love Cumberland Island
When is the tour of the boat?
Seems like a good excuse to get her all cleaned up!
Gulfstar?
Looks like fun! I hadn't seen anything from you in a while... Do you still have your Lazy Daze? I just got one two weeks ago. It's my first motorhome.

Only watched 30 seconds and had to step out. Roll Tide

New to the show Very Nice good content nice camera please lose the music
Denny from Minnesota
Thanks Denny I will definitely consider that for the next video 😀 the song actually motivated me to make the video so that’s why it’s in there lol.

your taste in music and the volume of it prevented me from finishing this video...
Thus music 💀💀💀💀💀
not even in the top 5 of the worlds largest shipping ports, error on that comment made, to the listeners of this.
Bgm is not nice
