What a great video! Thank you for sharing your personal friendship with Tranquility. Loved it!
Oh, so glad you enjoyed our interview! We have really enjoyed traveling with them - it's been such an added bonus on this amazing journey to do it with amazing friends! :-) Thanks for watching! :-)
Great analysis of days not traveled - thanks!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! :-)
Years ago I worked on Badgely island for 3 seasons at the quarry. Travelled from Killarney to the island by boat daily. Great place to work, explore and boat. Glad you both enjoyed Ontario!
Wow, how cool! I bet you had a great time! YES we loved Canada and would love to come back some day! Thanks for watching! :-)
Would be great to meet up with you for a meal/docktails as you come down past Peoria Illinois! I can provide transportation if you or your flotilla need provisions or parts/tools.
Hello, thank you so much for your offer! We aren't quite sure yet when we will be there but we will keep your offer in mind and it's much appreciated! Thanks for watching! :-)
I agree with the difficulty returning to the United States. Every time I have returned to the US from a foreign country it was ridiculously difficult.
YES, it was absolutely ridiculous! We were stunned how difficult and confusing it was! Could have been so much easier! ARGH!
That is either some dark make-up or a well tanned features !
Haha! Yes, I have gotten very tan over the past few months! Thanks for watching! :-)
I had no idea it was such a pain to get back into the US …didn’t the AGLCA prep you for information about how to go through the process in advance? We’ll likely be doing a cruise up to the North Channel next summer, so I’m going to file this valuable tip into my brain and try to remember to plan ahead for that before we leave! BTW, I love how you find so many coffee shops with the word “Bean” in them. 😂
Hey Kari! The members of our flotilla who went to the AGLCA Rendezvous said it was not mentioned - it might be on the website, we just didn't see it!?! It was so nice to meet you the other day! Thanks for driving over! and YES we find so many fun places with BEAN in the title - watch for another one in this Wednesday's episode!! :-)
You are moving along!! Any idea when you will be in KY Lake? We’d love to say hello!
Hey Jenna! Yes we are definitely moving along! We are *estimating* to be in your area in early'ish October! Keep watching! :-)
@@coolbeansloop2024 Woo hoo!!
Tell Suzy I love her hair!! Did you take the ferry to Mackinac Island? Stay safe!!
I will tell her! Her hair is beautiful! YES we took the ferry to the Island - that episode will be out Wednesday! We had a great time! :-)
You guys are awesome, loving the channel. We are a few years away from our loop trip, but I am researching as much as possible to try to avoid some of the mood killers haha. While you are at the border of US and Canada I saw you checked in with Canada, do you have to report if you go back and forth? (across the border) Or did you stay on that side once you checked in?
And now for kind of a dumb question, what would have happened if you did not check back in to the USA? Not maliciously or with any intent to defraud in any way? Just if you couldn't figure out the process that seems to be quite convoluted.
Hey Steve, that is NOT a dumb question! First, thanks so much for your compliment. We appreciate it and are glad you are doing your research! We did too, there's probably no way to know EVERYTHING so when you do go, just enjoy and go with the flow! But back to your question - we have NO IDEA what would have happened - the guy at the marina suggested strongly that we figure out how to check in - not sure why! I mean, how would they ever know we were back and didn't "check in"! We think it's just a way for the gov't to get more money from us. :-) Thanks so much for watching!
Just out of curiosity, do you guys intend to bring your boat all the way back to Kemah? And if so, do you all intend to keep it, or do you plan to sell it once you complete the loop?
Safe travels.
Hello! Cool Beans will be for sale very soon as we are moving on to our next adventure. We will be crossing our wake in a couple of months and can either leave her in Mobile, AL for the new owners, or take her back to Kemah and will sell her there! We are pretty flexible! :-) Thanks for asking and thanks for watching!
Have you seen the Northern lights?
Hey Craig, NO we have not - we have tried, when anchored in Bad River, I woke up around 2am to see if I could see them. Was not successful!
Do you get the decal before you enter Canada?
Hey Pamela! You just need to order it before you get back to the US - you don't need a physical decal, you'll just need the decal NUMBER when you use the CPB Roam app to check back into the US. Sorry we didn't explain that better! Let me know if you need any other clarification! Thanks for watching! :-)
@@coolbeansloop2024 thank you
