ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!

Elliott, you need to take your A/C off the breaker stack that your inverter is powering. It (and the water heater) should be on a breaker that is ONLY energized via shore power. Startup spikes for the AC unit is what is popping your fuses. As soon as shore power is cut, the inverter starts inverting and the AC yanks too many amps. (I know this was six months ago. I hope you have fixed it by now)
The Zebra mussels have been a real challenge in the Great Lakes and Ontario cottage country, they hurt so much if you step on them in the water!!! But they are filter feeders so they have cleaned the lakes til they are crystal clear. Nice benefit, but still yucky that they are here. Waving hello from the 1000 islands region. Love your series, thank you for all the videos
I’m grateful to have found your video travel log, you are wonderful people, glad you enjoyed your Canadian portion of the loop.
You guys make me go back to my younger days. Like I said , the Trent and Georgian Bay was my haven. I have seen all you have seen in the USA, but from a truck. I love your videos and remind me of my youth. Everything you do is done with common sense and you have the knack of making it interesting as hell. No none of this we're great and look what we did. No bullshit and is either fact or good clean fun. New boaters can take alot of lessons and advice from your videos. I know I've complimented on your past videos, so here is another one. So thumbs up and stay safe.
Welcome back to the land of the living! We missed you guys. We understand you were working through music copyright issues. Glad all is well!
Glad to have you back. Was beginning to worry the Mounties had you. 🤣
We finished our loop on Christmas Day in Jacksonville. We traveled thru Lake Erie and did not go through Canada. Watching your trip through the Trent Seven is encouraging us to go that way on our second loop which will be done on our trailerable C-Dory 25 in sections. You are the only Loop TH-cam we still follow. Keep up the good work. Tom and Joyce previously on the MV Redemption.
Looking good I will get caught up on your vidgood luck with the loop very excited tiwe are on to our next adventure have already done the loop
Awesome, congrats on being Gold!
I found you guys about 3 weeks ago, and I've been binge watching ever since. ( your loop series). Can't wait to see what's next.
I have been going thru withdrawal. Thanks for posting a new video. Great as always. Keep em coming.
Funny to see you pass the Glen Ross bridge..:) In my area.Hope you enjoyed the area.
Jen needs to start a cookbook!!!!😋😋😋
Absolutely! Coming soon 😁
Your line handling communication conventions are outstanding! Based on them, we are going to have am on-board tutorial this spring! BUT! For goodness sake, plumb your coolant into your water heater so you NEVER have to heat your water from your inverter.
I hope you guys make a book with all the locks and over night contacts and phone numbers. I would totally buy it. Great videos can't wait till I'm able to do my loop adventure.
Welcome back. I can't believe how pro level you do those locks. I'm taking mental notes.
Steveinsawlog here. I am so enjoying your trip up the Trent-Severn waterway and can't wait until you break through into Georgian Bay at Port Severn and enter the 30,000 islands. I will watch closely to see when you pass my place and will let you know when I see it.
I love 😘 Canada its so beautiful 😍❤️
Oh Im so happy you're back to posting!
Doohers posted your latest video today. It was great but I had to backtrack to this to see if my house might have been in this one. No luck. We're at the exit of the canal leaving Frankford. Looking forward to watching more
Oh shoot! That'd be a dangerous location to live, I'd be at Doohers all the time haha
@@SchoandJo it gets worse. I work in Campbellford🤣
Great to see you back in action. Enjoying your summertime Canadian cruise and curious about the upcoming wintertime river experiences.
I love all you both share :) Thank you both. I really enjoy watching all you share . Be safe and enjoy:)
Been waiting for this next video, thank you. I stayed at Glen Ross twice and it is a nice quiet spot with a little variety store with great ice cream. Can't wait for the next in the series.
Looking forward to the next video to see a deep dive of that little town.
Hey guys I can see you anchor be side us I'm in my houseboat Life hope you enjoy the night !!!
Haha nice! Cheers!
That lock was HUGE! So awesome to see y'all crushing them!
Wait till you see the triple locks coming up next!
It’s where our trailer resort is
Great to see u guys back with the video keep them coming
The leftovers look SOOOOO !!!! tasty, Welcome Back 🙂
You guys are back!
💯💯💯
Very enjoyable episode guys ‼️ 👍 ✨ Niiiiiice to see you are OK. 🎉🎉🎉
Great episode! Glad for the update.
Hello from the Youngs. Good to see you back up again. I was going to say where where we ran into you guys on the LOOP but I didn’t know if that was cool since you haven’t posted that section yet. Your channel is awesome. Enjoy your positivity. Maybe we’ll run into each other again this winter! Jim and Rebecca
There you are!!!!!😃😃😃 I was starting to worry
Great video! You all sure have mastered the locks…you look like pros! Kona was barking at Ollie when I was watching! Silly Kona. 😂
Oh by the way…your Ramen looked DELICIOUS! 🤤😋
As a marine surveyor, I've never seen a marine A/C unit powered by an on board inverter. A/C is typically powered by shore power or a generator. Plugged in at the dock, with the inverter on is pulling too much and asking too much of the batteries or back-feeding, tripping the dock pedestal. When you plug in, turn the inverter to 'Charging' mode, or turn the unit off entirely at the charger panel and and at the rotary. Don't over-fuse; the tripping is for a reason that needs fixing. You guys are fun to watch, thank you.
Agree, unless you have a sizable bank of lithium batteries, I've not seen where air conditioning is set up to run off the inverter. Perhaps running the inverter/charger with air conditioning may be pushing the limit of the 30A available at the shore pedestal, especially if they have any other ancillary loads. I wonder if they have just one shore power inlet or two. Typically boats fitted with air conditioning, especially if they have two A/C units (don't know if they have one or two), would have a second shore power inlet with a second 30A distribution panel on the boat. They would then use two 30A shore cords to fully serve the loads on the boat. We have three A/C units, so we're set up with a 50A panel and a 30A panel and corresponding shore power inlets. We then carry a variety of shore cords and adapters so we can adapt to a variety of shore power pedestals, especially when in the canals.
You give me hope that my wife will join me on my loop adventure
Woot woot! Hopefully it all works out, cheers!
Looking forward to your next episode. Campbellford is our go to town while trailering on the Trent up at Lock 15.
Hope you had a chance to go to Dockside restaurant!
Campbellford was awesome! We missed Dockside but had some good food at Capers Tap House. Hope you enjoy the video!
On the Rideau Canal system that runs from Kingston to Ottawa, Ontario, we often raft 3 boats wide.
Breakers can have a pretty wide range that they can trip at an still be considered good. A 30 amp breaker actually kicks at about 27 amps or so if memory serves. An thats constant load. A short spike above that, like a AC motor starting, they are built to hold that too. But they are not made all that exact. So one breaker will trip sooner than the next. If you are near the limit of what a breaker can hold, you may trip some breakers an not others, even though they are rated the same. If you move from one plug to another like that an it fixes your problem, thats usually what you have ran in to. The first one kicks slightly sooner than the second one. Or the first one may actually be failing.
Great video
That smell is a little "shake aaaaand bake"
As I write this post, Georgian Bay through Midland to Parry Sound has just frozen over and it is a balmy -21 degrees Celsius in Sawlog Bay
Nice DeFever 44
And....that's what she said!!
Hi there 👏🏻🤟
How all doing I hope all is well have a great day
I was getting worried you loved Canada so much that you were not coming back.
When do you plan to upload an other video? We miss seeing you!
New one is live! Probably one more video in a week and then back to multiple a week!
I bet they were Canadian Geese
Will you ever come back to India 🇮🇳😟
One day for sure!
@@SchoandJo We will be waiting ❤️
I'm not sure if it's my phone or what thier is not volume
Hey guys this video is unlisted. It took some effort to find. ITs probably why theirs low views.
Hi Vin! Thanks, we have to keep it unlisted while our music copyright service fixes the claim. It’s not quite ready for general audience yet. Normally claims are resolved immediately but this one has taken a few days. Just curious, how did you find the video?
@@SchoandJo I didn't see it posted and came looking for it. It shows up on the Playlist for your Canadian videos. Just wanted you guys to get the views you deserve.
This came up on my TH-cam so maybe the problem is fixed.
Ahhhh that makes sense. Thanks for letting us know Vin 😁 Everything has been resolved with the copyright and it is now fully live. Cheers 🍻
twin drives or signle?
Single Ford Lehman!
I think you must lack a proper inverter disconnect switch between your house bank and inverter. My guess is that when you turned your house battery switch to "off" when you replaced the fuse, your batteries were still supplying current to the inverter through the fuse. Your inverter can kill you even if your house bank switch is in the "off" position. Clearly something is not the way you expected it to be or you would not have "sparkled" at the fuse block! You really need to study your system with that in mind. Research "do I need an inverter disconnect switch."
I think we do have the disconnect, and we did use it! What I think it was, is the location our solar system connects to our batteries and the inverter is elsewhere, and I didn’t disconnect that. So that was giving us a voltage which I didn’t expect 😬
where the hell have you been
Loopin!
@@SchoandJo missed you for a month or so. I am loopin in a couple years, enjoy your travels, I love ollie
