I keep thinking that these videos can’t get any better …but then they do. Your enthusiasm for everywhere you go and everything you see: ⭐️ ⭐️ The beautiful drone footage and seamless editing and terrific story telling: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Close-ups of Ollie looking so wise and noble: ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 😊
My husband and I purchased a 250 sea ray, Sundancer last season . We absolutely love the thousand islands river. In Kingston Ontario . We also love your dog .
Forgot to say Happy Birthday to Jen the other day 🎉. Was smiling the entire video 😊, glad to see you all having a good time. Love the fact you have music too.
Really liked your coverage of your exit from Chattanooga going down to Nickajack. I am a lifelong Chattanooga resident. I have hunted and fished along the entire length of that cruise . It’s interesting to hear your descriptions and impressions. It is a beautiful stretch of the river. Glad you came to see it.👍🙃
Thank you for this beautiful video... I woke up a biit grumpy this morning and watching this really cheered me up. You captured the beauty of the area so well. I also love that you share your family with us. Hugs all around.
What a beautiful experience to travel by boat with your parents. I only had one opportunity to do so before my mom passed. She loved it! Another great video guys
I have done this section multiple times sense I have lived her all my life. The Tennessee River Gorge cuts through the Cumberland Plateau, bisecting it. Yea, it looks nothing like the Grand Canyon. But its one of the nicest river cut canyons that you can safely boat through. That was not the case before the Hales Bar dam was built. That section of river was dangerous. One of those random deep sections you talked about is at the mouth of Suck Creek. That hole was called the Suck. There was a Whirlpool there that could suck down some rather large boats.
Were those two eagles?! This was such a beautiful and peaceful cruise with great music! LOVED the drone shots! Always wonderful to see family with you and I can’t leave Ollie out…loved her close up shots!
Lots of Bald Eagles in this area. They were reintroduced in Cloudland Canyon State Park in Georgia years ago. Several breeding pairs are now on each of the mountains. I live on the mountain south of the dam an have a breeding pair behind my house. The mountain straight ahead as they go through the locks on the next video, the Cherokee called Eagle mountain. From what I understand, it had an unusually large population of them back then.
Nov 28!! You know you are boating late when a) water is turned off and b) no one else on the docks Beautiful although I'm sure the colours would have been more impressive a month or more earlier. That's cool about the depths.
Another great video. My wife tries to cook like you. Please put out a cookbook. Also,where do you get your great music? Thank you again for the hours of entertainment
Why no mention of the Raccoon Mountain pumped storage hydro/electric generating facility? You passed and videoed it extensively both going upstream and then back down....
Some very beautiful drone shots! You do such a great job editing your videos. Might I please ask what FPS you set your editing timeline to? 24, 30, or 60fps? Thank you very much and safe travels.
I have so enjoyed the seasons being inline with real life. I am going to be sad when I get to the end of this trip. It's been so relaxing, educational, funny, calming and such a treat. TY for all your hard work on this. Also, Jens mom's scarf is beautiful as is she. Like mother like daughter.
I am so very glad you made it to Chattanooga, it is truly some of our favorite cruising areas. Up stream is Watts Bar lake and on up to Knoxville more awesome cruising. Hope you make that run someday.
We live in east tennessee, and once we get our boat and start our loop we will definitely make sure we take this side trip to see stuff we've not seen from that perspective. Great video as always
Really loving the drone footage. Shows just how free you are on the river. I’m glad your folks were able to share the special time. And thank goodness Ollie got to chase some rocks. :-)
Loved cruising with you. ♥️♥️♥️ The views along the river were beautiful, drone footage in this video is amazing and the music is so calming. The docking at the end was super impressive.
We definitely considered it... IIRC it would have been around 3 days one way to get from Chattanooga to Knoxville. We estimated, all in, it would add about a week to the side trip. We've heard that the River just gets more beautiful and more beautiful as you head up stream, so it's on the bucket list for the future! I think we simply wanted to start heading south and prioritized staying put in Chattanooga for Thanksgiving. Cheers!
I can confirm it's great. I grew up in east TN, and made an annual Chattanooga boat trip with my grand parents and their friends from kingston TN on Watts Bar lake to Chattanooga. We did that for 20 years every year, a flotilla of run abouts and cabin cruisers would make the trip....good times.
So the drone is showing you docking. Is there an auto tracking feature? Does someone drive the drone or is there an autopilot to it? Your drone footage is amazing.
Thanks, Ben! While our drone does have some sort of auto-tracking, in this situation, I (Elliot) positioned it as we were arriving at the dock and then just let it hover as we pulled in. It was such a beautiful spot!
@@SchoandJo - Really was amazing. I've gushed over your photo work enough already, but continue to admire how you stretch the technology/employ multiple cameras/and edit for crispness. I'll get a good drone soon (crashed a cheap one into the drink 🙄) so appreciate your response very much. Thanks!

“I don’t want any fake ums Carol” 😂😂 What a gorgeous cruise!!!
And we NEED more of that minestrone soup our my lives!
I loved the music for this video. I also loved that Jen’s family joined this section.

Family does make it more better indeed!
What a gorgeous section of the Tennessee. Lovely weather too for that late in the season.
Really liked your coverage of your exit from Chattanooga going down to Nickajack. I am a lifelong Chattanooga resident. I have hunted and fished along the entire length of that cruise . It’s interesting to hear your descriptions and impressions.
It is a beautiful stretch of the river. Glad you came to see it.👍🙃
Thanks! One day, we'd like to cruise past Chattanooga; we hear that it is even more beautiful!
Fall/early winter is the best.
Love the overhead shot of docking!
Thank you for this beautiful video... I woke up a biit grumpy this morning and watching this really cheered me up. You captured the beauty of the area so well. I also love that you share your family with us. Hugs all around.
So kind thanks for watching and glad we could cheer you up 😁
Beautiful vistas....
The overhead sequence of docking was excellent. Great job of the shots AND the docking!
Thanks Doug!
Holy, y’all showed a house my dad built!!! Should have made your way up the Tennessee to Knoxville, and would have passed my dock!!
Waving hello from Ontario Canada.My husband and I have been enjoying your summer trip.😊
Thanks so much Kim!

Thanks Andrew!
Another great video. My wife tries to cook like you. Please put out a cookbook. Also,where do you get your great music? Thank you again for the hours of entertainment
Haha thanks! One day we will have to put out a cookbook... we get all our music for our videos on MusicBed. Cheers!
We just finished watching your posts, really enjoyed it, when you pull into a dock or gas dock, do you tip any dock workers who help you?
Thanks! Yes, we will traditionally tip $5 to any deckhand who participates!
Why no mention of the Raccoon Mountain pumped storage hydro/electric generating facility? You passed and videoed it extensively both going upstream and then back down....
No reason...
Some very beautiful drone shots! You do such a great job editing your videos.
Might I please ask what FPS you set your editing timeline to? 24, 30, or 60fps?
Thank you very much and safe travels.
Thanks! Our timeline is in 30 fps, cheers!
Really enjoying your music and of course your escapades. Keep on boating
Thanks!
Nice vid. I've watched U guys for awhile. Now I want to do the loop! It's your fault seriously U should have 10x the views your vids are that good
I came on board just outside of Chicago, Its beeen a great journey so far, looking forward to moooooore.
Thanks so much Tom!

Thanks so much Lynn! We really appreciate your support, and I'll let Carol know you said that 😁
Watching them is going to cost us money here in the next couple years! The best loopers out there to watch.
I am so very glad you made it to Chattanooga, it is truly some of our favorite cruising areas. Up stream is Watts Bar lake and on up to Knoxville more awesome cruising.
Hope you make that run someday.
One day!
💜💜💜 these videos are so relaxing to watch while creating videos on how to help people activate their psychic senses. Thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼
We live in east tennessee, and once we get our boat and start our loop we will definitely make sure we take this side trip to see stuff we've not seen from that perspective.
Great video as always
Thanks! Highly recommend it!
I need to write you guys a very special post about what you mean to me and how you have touched my life in a very special way.
3:30 - Y'all have TWO poo tanks on Pivot?
That's right!
Really loving the drone footage. Shows just how free you are on the river. I’m glad your folks were able to share the special time. And thank goodness Ollie got to chase some rocks. :-)
Loved cruising with you. ♥️♥️♥️ The views along the river were beautiful, drone footage in this video is amazing and the music is so calming. The docking at the end was super impressive.
We enjoyed having y’all! ❤️
🤙
🤙🤙🤙
Awesome ! Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!
Did y'all consider continuing on to Knoxville and the end of this leg of the loop? How much farther would it have been?
We definitely considered it... IIRC it would have been around 3 days one way to get from Chattanooga to Knoxville. We estimated, all in, it would add about a week to the side trip. We've heard that the River just gets more beautiful and more beautiful as you head up stream, so it's on the bucket list for the future!

Loved the sceanry and especially to drone footage. Btw, loved the audio track!
Thanks Rick!
