Just binged the first 30 episodes while working, and this came out 4 minutes ago. Perfect timing. Wife and I are currently saving up to get our looper boat.
LOL Perfect timing indeed!!! Hopefully you enjoyed the first 30 episodes! LOVE that you just binged them all. So fun :). You will be well prepared on the ups and downs of looping when it is your turn.
You guys are sooo amazing! Here's the thing, I can't find the energy to put a photo album together and you are assembling the most amazing time capsule for yourself, your children and us! Your children will be sharing this with their children one day. I know I will never meet you but I feel like you are friends! Shine on!!!!!
LOL. Thank you for saying this!!! If it makes you feel any better, "start Loop Vlog" was on our To Do list for a solid year before we actually started editing and posting our VLOG. These things take time but we think it is worth it to preserve the memories. And what a bonus to hear that you are enjoying the episodes. You never know when you post things like this. Is it going to be entertaining for all or just like watching your great aunts vacation slides. Thanks so much for joining this adventure with us. And never say never. I hope our paths cross in person one day. If you see us, you must say hi. :)
Awesome video, guys! Hats off to Mark for successfully dealing with the "la toilette" problem :) Cinda, you can make friends anywhere you go. I loved the "GOOD MORNING" shout out to the people on the balconies. This seemed like a fun time. Be safe.
It was definitely fun! And what is the point of life if you don't do your best to make friends and spread joy as you go. You certainly do that with your kind comments on all our videos. Thank you!!!
I have been a tour Docent on the Thomas point Shoal light house for nine years. I so wish you had been able to capture its beauty and put it into your video as you went by. I have enjoyed your travels and thank you for sharing.
You guys definitely conquered Annapolis. You hit the right ice cream store. The dinner at the seafood looked great, I've eaten there before and it's very nice. I've never seen such problems with out of control drinking like that but I'm always right in ego Alley where there's a greater police presence. It's a great place and used to be even better many years ago. Faucets Marine store was the greatest along with several other boat friendly businesses.
We can probably make that happen LOL. Glad you get our sense of humor and hopefully we aren't banned for life from the Annapolis Yacht Club. #fingersandtoescrossed
Calling 911 would have been appropriate as the harbor patrol is usually just another division of local police. Drinking and driving is still illegal, be it on the water or on the road. With that aside, I absolutely love watching you guys having fun with your adventures. I do feel a sense of remorse as I spent 13 years in the Navy and never made it to Annapolis. Thanks for showing me what I missed. Thank you, Mark, for the wonderful sign-off. I thoroughly enjoyed my years in the Navy. I spent my first three years on a guided missile destroyer (out of San Diego) and truly loved sailing all over the western Pacific and Indian Oceans and the various seas and gulfs in between. I also spent 18 months on the John F. Kennedy, one of the super-carriers out of Norfolk. I finished my sea duty aboard an old submarine tender, the USS Proteus at Naval Station Guam. Anyway, thank you for your salute to the Navy!
Yes I remember it well. Rebuilding the 2 heads. As I recall a really fun job. Great job Mark. Our pastors son was a new Naval Plebe having just arrived at the Naval Academy the month you were there. Be safe
Another outstanding episode. I hope you share more of Annapolis with us on the next episode assuming you were there for three days. Have fun working with VacuFlush heads. I hope you have additional duckbills on board and the seal between the bowl and stand. Pass me the crab dip!
Thankfully the previous owner had the boat full of spare parts that save our behinds in more ways than one. Unfortunately, we didn't have a ton of footage from being out and about in Annapolis. My phone was having storage issues and Mark spent most of his time on the boat fixing things. Guess we just need to go back!
Traveling up thru my backyard so to speak. Used to own a boat I kept in Middle River (North of the Bay Bridge). I'm sure by now you have passed by Hart-Miller Island, Tolchester and Pools Island. Spent many a year fishing and crabbing out there!
Wow they sure do know how to party in that marina A person who works on plumbing electrical engines generators boat repair in general are called engineers my nephew is a engineer on a tugboat up here in Alaska he does it you’re around in the winter he has to deal with ice in the summer it’s storms it’s pretty dangerous up here Love the show thank you
Well, thanks a lot! I am recovering from Covid, and thought I’d just about put the incessant coughing in my rear view mirror …but I was laughing so hard watching this episode that now that ‘cough trigger’ has been reactivated. 😂😵😷 However, the enjoyment I got from the past 29 minutes and 39 seconds was WELL worth it - having been with you on every single episode since you first started your boat search, I can honestly say that was quite possibly the most entertaining episode yet. 😂😂😂
You made our day with this sweet comment!!!! So sorry we made you cough again but we hear laughter is good medicine so maybe it helped in the long run 🤣. Thanks for joining this crazy adventure with us. And for getting our humor and laughing with us!
ENJOYIN UR VIDEO..salied into annapolis many a time on a 38' motor sailor..one memorrble time we had gale force winds to sail in had the the sail reefed 1/2 was fly..6' swells..I believe that waz the time lightning hit the main mast..ai was out in storm driving..everone else was down below,,they said there was a ball of lightning bouncing around the cabin until decided to take mast to ground,,yes my ex wife had a gr8 time,,🤣
@ I sent a link to Bill. He thought it was so cool that you captured the event. They have been working on the boat ever since then. They had to remove the entire saloon floor to get to the damage in the engine room. The cause was an exhaust pipe being to close to wood in the engine room. They had just bought the boat and were on the way down to Urbanna, VA with it.
@@CheyneDaggett Cinda here -- I am SO GLAD to hear they are OK and getting their boat fixed. Having a fire onboard is every boater's fear. But if you had to have a fire onboard, it seemed like they were in a good spot and had lots of heroes come to their rescue. We were praying for them when we heard it all go down on the radio.
Making me miss my old stomping grounds! I boated there often. It's quite a mixture of culture. You got a prime slip for stupid people tricks. I'd love to recommend food spots, but I'm sure you're long gone by now.
LOL We had the BEST slip to watch stupid people tricks. I'd argue there isn't a better slip in Annapolis. Even though we are long gone, we'd love to know your recommendations for future trips to Annapolis. We can't wait to go back.
I agree that you need to tell the authorities that someone is boating while intoxicated. Boating accidents happen every day and alcohol is usually a contributing factor. Its not like you were really caring when they were sitting still. I read a book once that really resonated that said if you dont say or do anything than nothing gets better. We are all worried about looking like "Karens" but if they are a threat to safety than you have to speak up. "He took of all his jewelry to fight" made me laugh out loud! This episode was a real sh!t show 🤣
We definitely needed to tell authorities -- the question was which authorities. Thankfully, somebody else knew who to call before we figured it out. And yes, this episode was a total shit show LOL. Thanks for watching and always leaving such thoughtful comments :)
@@TheBoomershines They might be marked that way but they are only to be used approaching a dock, not 100+ yards out. There was enough ambient light that dock lights should not have been required.
@@karlstreed3698 LOL You and Mark need to be friends. Improper use of docking lights (as seen and discussed in this video) is one of his biggest pet peeves in life. Too many people think they are "boat headlights" to use all the time when in fact they are only to be used while docking if needed. But there 100% are such things as docking lights and they are a great indicator of a newbie or uneducated boater. Cinda
@@TheBoomershines I am a Coast Guard Auxiliary boat crew, usually the helmsman on my 24-foot Yamaha jet boat that we use as a patrol boat on the Ohio River. Most of the time there are enough lights around that it is no problem to see and navigate at night. There are some sections of the Ohio that there are no houses, roads or navigation lights in sight. We then may use a spotlight to check for trash and trees that might be in our way. Most people think they can go as fast at night as they do during the day which sometimes this leads to senseless crashes and deaths.
@@jascan1489 As in mind our own business and let a drunk boat driver injure themselves or someone? Thats ok. We’ll stick with being nosey to save a life thank you as well as protect our boat. You did see he almost hit our boat didn’t you? It’s also hard to mind your own business when the drunk boater is less than 15 feet away from you all day using some colorful language around your 8 and 10 year old. ⚓️Mark

We do our best to capture all the highlights of the loop but some times we are reading about things as we pass them and don't manage to record them too. Or we are parenting at the time. You just never know. But thank you for sharing your neck of the woods with us.

Oh I will! Excited to watch your latest with my morning coffee tomorrow!
Exploring marinas on the Chesapeake Bay by dinghy is WHY I own a boat! That, and anchoring out are my favorite boating activities.
We had a blast taking the dinghy out and about!!! Definitely going to do more of that going forward.
Awesome video, guys! Hats off to Mark for successfully dealing with the "la toilette" problem :) Cinda, you can make friends anywhere you go. I loved the "GOOD MORNING" shout out to the people on the balconies. This seemed like a fun time. Be safe.

The drunk boat - I'd call the harbormaster in Annapolis. Used to live there, its fun to see it again!
That is probably the right call! Just didn't have the number handy.
So glad you had a great time in our section of the bay. Annapolis is great little town.
Mark wishes we could move there we liked it so much! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

We loved Annapolis -- even the drunken brawl was entertaining from a safe distance. LOL
Great episode! Thank you for showing all the problems and hopefully their solutions!!
Thanks for the kind comment! Lots of problems and hopefully solutions to come. Stay tuned #problemsolving LOL
Also, can Captain Mark do more yacht club imitations?! That was hilarious!!
We can probably make that happen LOL. Glad you get our sense of humor and hopefully we aren't banned for life from the Annapolis Yacht Club. #fingersandtoescrossed

Sounds like you had a nice variety of experiences -- even if you didn't make it to Annapolis.
My friend's sailboat is only that exact pier. cool!
Tell your friend thank you for sharing it with us :)

Really "fun" job LOL. At least we only had to do one head (this time).

I got 6 more years to put in with the USPS ,then I’m doing the loop alone on a 391 Meridian. 💪🏼😎👍🏼
Wahoooo!!!! We logged lots of hours on a Meridian and loved it. It will be a GREAT loop boat!!! It will be time for your loop before you know it.
HA!!!
Welcome to Maryland
Get out as fast as you can
Despite the drunks, we loved it!

Fun fact, the original Naval Academy was in Newport, RI but only for a few years.
Fun fact indeed! Thanks for sharing :) (and for watching!)

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! That sounds INTENSE!!! So glad you are still here to tell the story. Makes our entrance into Annapolis seem calm.
Is Mark OK? He looked a little light headed? 😂
I don't drink but I love watching drunks on the water. They make great entertainment if you give them enough room 😂. Another great episode! ✌️
LOL thanks :)
Another wonderful albeit stinky episode.
LOL
I sent a link to this video to my friend Bill. His boat is the fire boat. It is currently at our home marina getting a complete refit.

BUI laws vary from state to state. Regardless, it still falls under public intoxication or under the influence.
Absolutely! That man should not have been driving anything. The question we had was who to call???
Home schooling at its finest. No one can say they didn't get to experience the real world and will suffer for it!!!! LOL
They certainly learned so much beyond what a typical classroom education would have taught them LOL

No such thing as docking lights !!
