RESCUING KAYAKERS in the Neuse River on the GREAT LOOP

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- We began our day walking around Beaufort, NC and enjoying a delicious breakfast. Working while traveling around America's Great Loop meant that we left Beufort later than we had hoped. We traversed through Adam's Cut on our way to Oriental, NC. While we crossed the Neuse River at sunset, we found two 18 year old's in the middle of the very choppy Neuse River, one of whom was in need of help. Watch the episode to see how it turned out.
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 head first 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!

Wow! As a kayaker, you clearly saved at least one life. Thank you!
“Adam’s cut is gorgeous” -Elliot
“You got that right” -Adam
Way to go helping the kayakers! As two kayakers that once got into a bad and scary situation, having strangers help us meant the world and saved us big time!
😂😂😂 First Elliot's Cut in Charleston, Adam's Cut outside of Beaufort; Just need to find Jennifer's Cut and Kathryn's Cut!
You guys make the boating community an even better place 😊 Amazing job helping out those kayakers, that could not have been easy.
Thanks!
Beaufort is one of my absolute favorites on the East Coast.
Great anchorage ✅ Good food and drinks ✅ Balance of nature and historic towns ✅ what more can you want!
Great job keeping your cool head with the kayak rescue! And thanks for the link to our channel.
Thanks y’all!
Hi - I am going back through your episodes for the 2nd time. This is maybe more enjoyable than the first time. I'm looking at your tour of BOA-fort (Beauford, NC), our family has deep connections to both Beauforts. Thanks for all of this.
Ah poor guy, he must have been relieved to meet you guys. It's great to be able to help someone but exhausting for sure.
For sure! I think 18 year old boys are sometimes naive to how dangerous some situations are… but they are both safe and that’s what’s important!
Love your videos, Thank you
Thanks for watching Michael!
Good rescue!
Thanks Larry!
You’re a good man Charley Brown. Thanks. D.
Haha thanks David!
Nice job guys! You handled that potentially dangerous situation very well.
Thanks so much Frank! We are just happy Joe and his friend are safe.
Even though it takes extra time, it always feels good to help someone out. I've had to tow others and be towed a number of times.
It definitely does... we haven't had to be towed yet but I'm sure it'll happen one day
I had to read Silent Spring when taking one of my classes for my Environmental Science degree. Have seen that plaque in person.
BZ, Nice rescue.
Thanks Bill!
When you own a boat there is always a new chore to do
Truer words have never been spoken!
That do look good
Thanks Frank!!
Great job rescuing the kayakers.. Sorry about your swim platform
Well done with the kayaker. So glad he was wearing a pfd, so glad you were there. There's a reason you left so much later that day.
There's always a reason! It all worked out at the end of the day 🙌
Enjoying your adventure from Adelaide South Australia
Thanks for joining! We loved our short visit in Adelaide, such a beautiful city!
My home town!
Woot woot! Do you have any suggestions for when we come back through?
Notice that many kayaks today have open tops. That's because so many kayakers drowned in the old-style when your legs might get trapped inside the boat.
Super interesting Steve!
Why were your dock mates laughing at your broken swim platform?
Where are you currently at on the loop?
Currently in the Chesapeake!
Well I love your channel and am currently trying to find a mobile job so I can move on to my boat and travel the great loop. I'm in ludington Michigan so when you get this way next summer if you need anything let me know. Good luck
Just out of curiosity where will you spend the winter?
That’s awesome! There are so many remote / mobile jobs now-a-days and its not too hard to get solid internet on a boat. Great times! Sounds great!
We are still deciding! Somewhere warm(ish) for sure though…
I've enjoyed watching your early adventures 1 thru 9 and I can't go on any further without asking how is it a young couple like yourselves can do all the pre-loop traveling and then buy and travel via motor yacht without even the basic knowledge needed to do the Loop? Silver spoon millennials? Lotto winners? Bank robbers? I've worked my entire life for over 40 years and still can only hope for such a dream as what you have accomplished.
I think you have two different questions Edward - how did we start without the knowledge and how can we afford to! For the first, we feel that the best way to learn is to just dive straight in and learn by failure - so that’s how we got started. For the second we are both extremely fortunate… not lotto winners or bank robbers though 😂 We focused on paying off out debt right after undergrad and basically just started saving money. It helps that Elliot’s training is in software engineering which he can do remotely (good for boat life) and is very much in demand. The last couple years have been times of feast and famine, times when consulting and we save a lot and times like now where we only have some minor income from TH-cam and are just living off a small savings. Fortunately doing a lot of boat work ourselves saves money and otherwise living on the water there aren’t too many expenses! We are happy to have you join our journey! And hope your dreams come true!
