- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- Our second day cruising Georgian Bay leads us through the Small Boat Channel to Parry Sound! Parry Sound is the largest city in this area of the Great Loop, and we need to provision. We cruise through very narrow and deep rocky channels before hitting a massive rain storm.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

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!

I grew up in this area and always felt like there was nowhere else quite like it. The bay (and Killbear) was everything to me. We recently moved back and I cannot get enough of the water. My daughter and I frequently go for boat rides between Parry Sound and Sans Souci, or the other way out past Killbear to Franklin Island. We also go camping at Killbear every chance we get - it's so big and beautiful with so many beaches and trails to explore.
welcome to parry sound. awesome video. sorry for the rain.
Your TH-cam channel was recommended on a Facebook boating group. This is the first video I’m seeing of yours. Very well done.
Thanks Doug!
Cool video! We have a cottage directly across from the bridge filmed at 6:00 on maclaren island. We go to kilbear every year it’s such a great spot! Hope you enjoyed the beauty of Georgian bay 😊
We absolutely enjoyed the beauty of Georgian Bay - will have to visit again one day!
Roll with the punches, and enjoy the fact that you are in Canada and one of the best places. Weather can't always be perfect but at least you made it. Enjoy
I think you guys went right past our cottage!
Oh cool! We dream of having a cottage up there one day!
Ok I just started watching you I have never found a channel that I can listen to at work I am a cabinet maker so when it is quiet I can still listen I have watched several of your boat Tours Lol you guys are so easy to listen to you have an absolutely great channel I love watching the boating aspect of of your channel I was so hoping to see my parents cottage in your video between lock 37 and 38 I saw you pass fair Havens Bible Camp and then up to the next market at 38 but I didn’t see the cottage but that was OK you as a younger couple are doing a great job I will continue to watch you go through the loop I hope that you guys have a great trip looking forward to some more awesome adventures take care of oly Your music selections are great yes I am old enough to be your parent but you guys are doing a great job keep up with the good work Paul
Awesome vedio guys thank for sharing
Thanks Frank!
I sail out of Parry Sound. Glad you liked the area. Hard to beat it for a cruising ground.
Totally agree!
All the rocks and the rain…but you three just smiled right through soaking wet and all! Beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!
Another Faaaaaaantastic 🎥 Ya'll Just ⚓Rock da Boat 🚢 & the Cruisin' 🛥️ And Sweeeet Ollie Too 🐶
Another awesome video.. Too bad the rain... We love Parry Sound..🇨🇦🇨🇦⚓⚓
The diaper blooper had us 😂😂😂 This region of Canada is sooo gorgeous, even in the rain! I vote we all make a trip up there together someday!
Very excited to see the next few videos as you are entering our cruising area. Anxious for your comments on the beauty in the north channel. Parry Sound is a wonderful town and I have been on that pier but in much nicer weather lol. Your videos are always fun.
Nice to see you guys up in Canada!! Hello from Toronto! Love the Georgian Bay area!
Thanks Kathy!
@@SchoandJo When are you planning to pass through Pensacola, FL?
Parry sound is lovely, a great place to explore.
Sure is. I live here
I LOVE OLIE so much, she is so sweet and has no thumbs.
I can't unsee the dancing Elliott, thanks.
haha you're welcome 🕺🕺🕺
It is delightful watching your experiences within my home waters. As a long time Georgian Bay sailor I can say that the underwater topography is the same as the above water topography so rapidly increasing depths or shallows are to be expected.
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing Niemi!
We were gifted a year-old Ports book as we entered Georgian Bay and it was immensely helpful! We re-gifted it to some friends that are heading up for this Summer, so hopefully they get a lot of use out of it too! Great recommendation 💪
I'm from Severn Sound at the south end of the bay, and the bottom there changes just as suddenly and unpredictably. There are spots a mile from shore where you're suddenly looking down at huge rocks through a foot of water, and places where you can drive a pickup a quarter mile from shore without getting the brakes wet when the lake's low.
Pretty crazy!
Another great video. You are in my backyard, I am on the North Channel at Richatds Landing. Enjoy yourselves.
Thanks for watching Robert!
Fished at Bad River Lodge in the early 80s. What a beautiful place
Another great video. You guys roll with the punches.
We live on Sans Souci! So cool to see it in one of your videos!
Awesome! Thanks for watching Jen!
come back to Parry Sound. Henry's fish and chips is building again near the town dock,the business district is full of life and will fill your boat,and enjoy the wonderful Ojibway native culture and the home of the greatest hockey player ever Bobby Orr.
We'd love to come back! Hopefully one day.
I know you have a paddleboard, but Jen's Canadian indpired idea of getter a canoe or Kayak. If course you're not in Canada anymore but my advice is to let the Canadian spirit of an idea become a reality soon with a ~16' canoe . That way you could both enjoy padeling together and Ollie would love it too. It'd be a great option for exploring small waters nearby or getting out and excercing with the spirit of Canada within your, even if you're in a horrid place like Florida. 😅
I have a beef with Jen. Every video you guys end a video with Jen cooking something. It looks so good I have hunger pains lol. Ollie, how come you don't weigh 300 lbs. Must have a tape worm or something.
Too bad you didn't go a few miles to Franklin Island to Regatta bay. Totally protected and hop in your tender and went to Snug Harbor and had a great fish dinner at Gilleys. right beside the government dock. Then scoot around to the west side of Franklin and there is a little bay with a real narrow entrance and hard to see, but you can get 50 footers in. but boy is beautiful and has its own little island in its middle. I'm surprised no one mentioned to you about it.
But again another great video.
Haha thanks, Mike! Must be... We haven't heard of Snug Harbor and Gilleys - will have to add that to the list next time. We did hear about Franklin Island and the narrow Western entrance and it was an option for the next cruise, but we are all students of the weather and it didn't quite work out for this trip.
@@SchoandJo The western bay is beautiful. Downfall is the weather. Don't have any time schedules. When you exit, you're in the open bay. Sometimes 6 to 12 waves. But Regatta is on the inner channel and totally safe. Weather permitted, see it with your tender. It's worth seeing.
Awesome, will have to add that experience to the list!
I’ve been following you since you hit the Erie Canal. I love that the last two videos have posted close together. What else amazes me is that you only spent two days in the area I know so well… San Souci Island to Kilbear. (Btw, you pronounce Souci the Italian way, with the c making a ch sound. San Souci is French, so the c should be pronounced with an s sound.
Love your videos guys. What size, make and model is your boat? I think I have watched all your videos, but must have missed that. Thanks and keep the awesome videos coming.
Thanks Mike! We have a 1989 34' Marine Trader Double Cabin, we have our second boat tour coming up in the North Channel so stay tuned!
I was wondering if you could share some details of the tablet you're using on the fly bridge? We just bought a 35' trawler that's in need of more navigation equipment.
Absolutely! We use an iPad, specifically this is a 12 in iPad pro, and it's loaded with Navionics and Aqua Maps, although we mainly use Navionics. Their are a few downsides to this approach,
1. Power - this type of iPad needed to be plugged into 120 while navigating
2. Water - it wasn't water proof so since we didn't have an enclosure we had to work around that
3. Sunlight & Heat - Rarely (only happened 3-4 times) if the sun was directly on the iPad for an extended period we had to move it to the other side otherwise it'd overheat
All this being said, we are happy with how it worked for us since we use the iPad for other things. It was also extremely easy to update maps, store our routes, and operate it while cruising! Having a large screen was very nice too.
WOW RAIN IS BAD ???? WTH
❓
👍 👍 👍
Parry Sound is the deepest fresh water harbor in the world
Very cool!
Small point. In "San Souci" (carefree), the "c" is pronounced as an "s", not a "ch". Love your channel.
Whoops, thanks for sharing!
What are the markers on shore indicating? They look like channel markers but are on shore.
We're not sure... There are quite a few different variations of markers in this video, even considering ones that are on shore and not. The ones that looked like channel markers but were on shore, we took as channel markers. However, in the ICW you could cruise right next to the poles of most markers but here considering it's on land we just stayed in the center of the channel.
When will you pass through Pensacola, FL??
Hi Mark - we passed through Pensacola in January of 2023!
@@SchoandJo Well, shucks. I live near the Pensacola Pass to the Gulf of Mexico and would have loved to have said hello to y'all. I enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work! You guys rock.
I realize you filmed this a long time ago....but did no one correct you somewhere along the route....its NOT "The Georgian Bay".....its just "Georgian Bay"......just like you wouldn't call it the "The Lake Ontario" or "The Lake Huron"
No one said anything along the route. We are calling it Georgian Bay now, but back then we thought of it like the ocean. We'd often say "the Atlantic Ocean", and since Georgian is the name of the bay we would call it the Georgian Bay. Without the "the" seems more like an adjective than a name, but we've been saying it differently since releasing these videos 💪
would you please please stop with the thumb-up sign. I am going to set up a thumbs-up drinking game with the buds. we are going the be very drunk
🍻
