The Great Loop 006 Pushing Ahead Despite Difficulties
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ม.ค. 2021
- Chugging along with one motor has been surprisingly easy. The steering is a bit wonky and it's unsettling to not have a backup means of propulsion anymore if the remaining good motor should fail. But Kon Tiki 3 is still making way. This all feels like a metaphor for not giving up. A cliché for life. A test of my resolve. For I guess, no great adventure comes without some adversity. And lessons in life are often learned best by getting burned somewhat. So, here we are. Limping along. Pushing ahead. Making plans to get things fixed. In the next video, I realize how much fixing there really needs to be done. But first I take some time to enjoy a sunrise. And frolic with the dogs on a remote, sandy beach.

I am no videographer, but I am a video consumer and to me, produced videos are always much, much better than live streams. I get that they are more difficult to put out, but it's worth the effort. Live streams involve too much time lag as the people interact with the viewers. They almost always lack a story line and therefore move more slowly. Your produced videos are sharp, thoughtful, thought provoking, relaxing, interesting, entertaining, and keep me coming back. Thanks Marty.
Ha! Telling a Lab to stay out of the water. Lol. Those dogs are loving the adventure!
Amazing how the dogs know the drill.
I love your pups.. they're so well behaved.
Man your dogs live a better life than I do
Love the video angles. Nice work. The dogs on the beach was the best. Synchronized boat boarding.
If that same line popped off after you put clamps on it that means there's an obstruction somewhere in the pressure has to go someplace it's not making it through the filter unit replace that filter make sure that the blinds both flow freely
Totally agree with you. He’s run the motors before and not had an issue. Definitely something is obscuring the flow. I’d replace the whole unit for a better one and place it where I can get to it.
Marty, you can't do this trip wondering if and when oil lines are going to fail. There many different hard line (stainless steel tubing), and braided stainless flex hoses that will be secure. Check out the automotive racing guys. They used to be called speed shops. I would even look at aircraft oil line set ups. Go to summitracing.com and browse their catalog. You have to do this right. You can also move the connection to somewhere easier to get to.
Good Luck. R, Steve
Good comment and I'll add, my father used to DIY his engine work on a Formula 233. He self installed oil pressure warning lights/buzzer in the instrument cluster right next to the oil pressure gauges. Having an audio/visual alarm back up to diligent cluster monitoring is a comfort. Might consider ...
Marty! Please do you .... when you commented on the Lives getting better I yelled a little 8) You are NOT a paid actor on TLC .... we are hear to watch a real person doing real things and we appreciate you for you brother. Your lives are great, convenient ways to interact while busy making videos ... I would hope it would be helpful more then more work .... keep doing you , the lives are perfect and I'm enjoying your journey brother. Look forward to shaking your hand one day soon.
BEAUTIFUL sunrise
East coast sunrises are equal to west coast sunsets
Thanks for keeping it real. Love the dogs. I've got three little dogs have only taken one to the boat so far. Yours at least come when you call!
I love watching your channel evolve. Hard to believe it was once just a budget kayak catching jack on a shoelace... then to a small business... then to life on a boat with 2 playful pups. You're an inspiration! This is floridian life at its best!
Man that sunrise was incredible!
Something fun that we do in the canals in our area. Drive the boats rafted together run and gather on one boat. Control is good and so is the company. Try it, you just need a couple of good spring lines.
I really admire your patients with everything going on AND the dogs
Marty you're doing great. Kontici, is getting pushed.Bit this trip will make her that much stronger. We're glad you're not alone and have those beautiful pups, with you..God bless, stay safe.😁🙏🙏
Always expect the unexpected! I say every couple of days, whenever you have free time to throw together a couple of days and post a good solid video.
They are the best well trained dogs I have ever had the privilege to hang out with, oh marty wasn't that bad to hang out with either. If anyone gets the chance to meet marty do it ,he's a great guy. I got to for about 2 week a couple summers ago.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and the engine issues. Seeing your doggos makes me feel happy!
I guess if you've gotta have engine problems, there's a beautiful view while working on it. I'm sorry to hear that the engine is going to have to be swapped. I am however glad to see that you're not letting it get you down. Excellent job with the video as usual Marty and thank you so much for bringing me along with ya.
My migraine is finally lifting. Your voice is soothing. Thanks from West palm beach
Back to Cayo Costa - refresh the soul, refresh the mind, retie the oil hose. You can do this, Marty!!!!
Doggos getting some good sniffs out the front......then they shoot out the front like torpedoes!! :P
excellent 360 degrees of the sunset! Nice
I enjoyed this style of video, thanks for the update.
That place is beautiful. I can't wait to see y'all come through Sebastian. I'm here if you need anything. I know it's along way still bur I look forward to your vids everyday. I'll be watching. Keep it up bud.
I think you need to pull in...get the boat looked at and decide if this is for you. Fix the issue and decide what to do. As you just started this trip from your home base and breaking down already. When I do the Loop in 5-6 years, I will not have the greatest, newest boat, or even the best running, but I just don't see things going well until your boat is in better condition.
Nice video, especially with so much going on...thank you!
Quite the adventure so far! Plus love the footage of the pups playing on the beach.
Hehe some very happy dogs. You take good care of them.
Hi Marty! Big fan, fellow NYer, and fellow boating enthusiast! I keep my boat at Sweetwater Landing Marina at the Boathouse Restaurant on the Caloosahatchee River at the 31 Bridge upriver a bit. Can you let me know when you might be going by so I can go to the restaurant and wave? Maybe we can catch lunch too. Let me know! I loved your series when you and mike brought his boat back from the east coast. Great stuff!
Cool to see all these places I’ve boated before with my family
The dogs have the right attitude "What me worry". I notice how they listen and don't go in the water, they must be trained like my dog I go for a swim off the pier and Sammi goes for a swim too, even tho I say NO SAMMI!😊
Glad to see you take some time to relax and get somethings handled. Wish I was there with you and Mike, looks like a lot of fun, someplace new at every stop!
Would be cool to share some details about navigating, what you guys are looking for and stuff. Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful sunset. Thank you for sharing...
The first boat me and my father ever looked at to buy was on Boca grand back in 1993, was an afternoon just like this one, orange sunset with a stiff breeze. Brings back good memories of being a kid
Alarm. Low pressure alarm high temp alarm. The boat came with an alarm system, it is just not working and needs to be fixed.
Have made the run from Boatdrinksasota Bay (Bradenton) to Matlacha 3 times....fun run....Stayed at Bridgewater Inn over the water and hung out at Bert's on the water a few doors down....Goooood Luck with your adventure!!!.....
Keepin' watch.....Living vicariosly, since I only have a 23' open power cat (Beachcat) and can't do the loop.....
I was always taught to lock the transmission of the dead motor. If it spins the fluid will heat up but your various coolers are not flowing with the engine off. This may not be the case for all transmissions but look into it. Hopefully you get everything sorted out
Love How The Dogs Jump Into The Dingie! Lol
Another good update Marty, but you sure are keeping us dangling with info about the motor. Those Pups really seem to like the boating life! I guess I'll tune in again tomorrow - meanwhile, both of ya stay safe & well. 👍👍
the dangling is called a teaser. so you will come back and it gets him more views. that is the whole idea behind the One Motor Mary 6 thousand mile LIMP ! lol He's got you hook, line, and sinker. take care getting that hook out of your lip lol
Love the trip, good luck!
Not sure what is tougher, keeping that engine working or talking the dogs out of getting into the water.
lmao. oh my what a perspective ! Things seem to be backwards for One Motor Marty ? lol
Your dogs are so awesome!!!!
I can understand how relaxing it must be when anchored, because your always on your toes when cruising watching out for everything
Looks like a great beach to have a fire on tonight !
Glad you're back underway Marty 👍
Gorgeous sky to wake up to with coffee
Loving your journey. It’s definitely something I want to do in the future so now I can watch you do it and hopefully learn as well
1:32 wait a second, I know exactly where that is! Can't wait to continue to watch the journey Marty. With love from Illinois
Your dogs seem so happy!
A lot of channels doing something similar to yours do once or twice a week, it would definitely save you some headache trying to to get out a video each day.
That's some beautiful weather you're getting. Up here we haven't seen the Sun for more than a few minutes here and there for the past few months.
Cruised right through my area today, I wish I could’ve ran out and brought you some lines for your oil filter that will actually hold up to some pressure. Just a heads up, I noticed your anchor light is mounted forward of your flybridge, meaning it’s only visible from 180 degrees. Might want to re mount that on the hard top. Keep up the good work, I’ve been watching for a while and love the videos. Also love the dogs!
I know that you checked but just in case others may want to make the same trip the Max height above water for the Erie Canal in 15.6 I live along the Hudson River which is a major leg of the loop.
Clear sailing may you have following winds and smooth waters
Marty you have to go barefoot a ton, because watching you walk on all the sand and rocks makes me and my feet cringe...lol! Take time, and get your boat fixed up right, so hopefully no more stress and anxieties!! Then have a shot and a beer or two!
You got this!,1 thing at a time!
Great videos
Love watching your journey, but silly to think the dogs will stay out of the water
Mobie Dick was Ishmaels nemesis, this oil line is yours Marty. I know you will adapt and overcome and not let this ruin your attitude or the overall goal. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
Looks like a nice ride, Thank goodness for dual engines.
I think he has brought the jet engine along for a spare ? gonna mount up on top somewhere ? Should work just fine until he runs out of jet fuel ? lol
STAY ON TARGET!
Despite The Line Malfunction which is be Freaking about myself ,,I know Me lol,, it's still been a great adventure , following Along,
I have one of the Bass Raiders , The utilization of Yours which was your initial ideas for it as a Runnabout Skiff seems to be working great for ya ,So Far I'm loving Mine, but The way you've used It takes it to another level of use , Looks Like the Dogs Are Having A Blast Too By The Way Awesomeness I'm a dog lover ,,German Shepherds Also Love The Water smh 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ whata mess that can be at times lol,, anyway Enjoying The Tag Along With This adventure , They do make a gauge both oil and temp with alarms that will give you a heads up when or if there's anything Oil pressure wise that you need to know quickly , They're worth their money in your situation or anyone with a bigger vessel for that matter , just a thought for Later, hope all goes Back together we'll for ya , Fair Winds And Full Sails To Ya Marty , Watchin 👀From Southern Mississippi 🇺🇸
Love the flag on the bow
You need to install a SwichGage. It's a pressure gauge with an integrated switch contact for an audible alarm, light, or whatever you want.
In this video u cruised by my neck of the woods
That sunrise!
Safe travels
You can do this!
Funny how they seem they kinda listen then nope!! WATER YA HOOO!!
Can’t wait for more lives will be a lot easier for everyone to be upto date
not sure if you think your videos are sub-par, I hope not because they are perfect! don't kill yourself trying to make your edits more complicated, your shots longer, or the content more "interesting" because what you are producing right now is exactly what I personally am looking forward to daily. keep it up! (not a huge fan of the lives, but thats just my personal opinion. Cant wait to see how the trip goes!
Thats a long trip with powerboat)
I could watch a video of your dogs running around
i don’t know if it’s good or bad that i watch marty instead of pay attention during school. Love your channel bro
The most successful men in the world are dropouts, it's not a place for smart people.
As Joe Biden would say "come on man" you can do both. Although watching One Motor Mary is much more entertaining cause you just know something bad is coming soon ? lol
@@barnett25 Like I said, school isn't a place for _smart_ people but I get what you're saying.
You need to put an alarm on the oil pressure switch that goes off when the oil sender loses pressure. Your motor can't take to many no oil situations
Lol...telling a lab not to get in the water!
I'm thinking why travel for no reason. Then I think maybe there is a point I do not know of. Lucas oil treatment in both engines you need. It will not replace the clamps but at the rate your luck is going. You need all the help you can get
Go Marty!
Love the boca grande area
Also, next time, you should have gone straight through to the railroad crossing at Boca Grande instead of making that right and then going south. I find that the water is a little deeper and I am sure that you guys probably kicked up a little mud along that way. I'm actually curious how that route to Cayo Costa worked out for you. They are both marked channels but it gets shallow in the western channel.
I didn't think you would be trying one-engine-running so soon but I am glad it works for you. Note: Since one engine had this oil filter hose problem, did you put a clamp on the other (good) engine oil filter hose?
If you'd been paying attention, Marty said days ago that the other remote filter had clamps on the hose even though the manual says they are not required. The clamps are not the issue. Something has happened causing a serious pressure build up in the system and it keeps forcing the hose off. Maybe a blocked filter.
@@trampster7306 Yeah, pay attention next time ! class dismissed !
Red sky in morning, sailors warning.
AN fittings would work. Even if you can get the thread sizes, and automotive shop could make a hydraulic pipe for you. The location and ease of installing may be the issue.
Your channel is doing way better than your buddies channel.
your dogs are awesome!! Such great energy!!
So how much fuel is the one engine burning per hour, vs using them both.
I mean, are you losing all that much power by using just the one engine??
I'd think it'd be cheaper in the long run to just run on one anyways
Ok, i will say it.... Mike should bought a 2kw Inverter generator or 2 or, did he? His sure sounds loud, especially first thing in the morning! :-)
Your last tour with Mike, you would show us how far you made it on Google Earth and what you did. Will you be doing this again, starting from the beginning if you do?
If Bellard is a motorboat
and Jabberwocky is a sailboat
then you are a kayak.
0:06 drifin’!
Looks like it ? That's what one motor running looks like ?
that happened to me right after a engine swap , I used cheap clamps and learned a very expensive lesson. NIGHTMARE! crimp on clamps or hard lines on oil routes from now on
Nice environment, silent water, total calm morning with a nice sunrise .... BRRRRRRRRRR!! Are that generator running all night long?
Hey Marty great show bro! Quality on this video was great but you have to help out Mike with his 5 pm.. so far pretty bad.. good content but very grainy image..
Zip ties? Will that hold it in the absence of a clamp?
Zip ties area great idea. To bad they didn't get a chance to use them in DC.?
Hey zoffinger, just a request.
On the behalf of you seeing this, when you describe where you are going, could you edit in a map and a path line of where you are/going?
He's doing the loop, backwards I think...
@@palukens I think so too... I could be wrong
One thing I would add: Add a video # to the titles of the Great Loop series. There's potentially going to be hundreds of videos in the playlist when it's over. This would help organization.
@@cup_and_cone yes it would and you just have me an idea I'll make a public playlist of the series
@@palukens Great Loop is traditionally done in a counter clockwise direction, so you have the gulfstream current on the ocean side, then head downriver flow on the western side rivers.
Did the motor seize the second time it lost oil pressure? It seemed to be running ok up until the line popped off again.
The way it sounded when he started it in the last video it likely has one or a few spun berings.
Sorry, bud. Hang in there.
Don’t u hate it when you’re dog does something really aggressive when you’re doing something stressful 🤣😂
might be late in the game to start something like this but why don't you document your route with something like the anglr app? that way we could see your progress?
Cut that deck section out between your engines. Make it removable.
